I started this week off with a drink in hand – might as well finish it that way, too.
Here’s hoping it will be a happy drink and not a sad drink.

Now, were it just our champ and our leader, Matt could wager zero and hope Ankoor misses. But Kat places him in Stratton’s Dilemma – basically, forcing him to pick between covering her (and losing if he misses) or playing for a really tough clue and a big wager out of Ankoor.

Yay! No forced drinking tonight… I will finish this glass of bourbon, though.
Sorry to see Matt go – he was a very, very good wagerer. But he does have nearly $50,000 for his efforts.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
