22 - Dori - £100,000 completes the game.

Ruby's brother says he was only one zero out!

Shame she missed the biggie on the wings but I do commend her for not jumping straight to Box 22 after the deal like a lot of players might have done. And Jamie gave good advice about minimal scale of regret for taking out one of the top 2 at the 5-box offer as well. The AMO 2-box offers remind me of when the banker used to see in the box and convince the player thay did the higher amount (as was mentioned in Joseph's game thread!)!

I think she dealt at the perfect time, got unlucky with the proveout with £100,000, being left to the end.. A great game, and its been a good week this week so far. Think she did the right thing, as she's got 3 kids, and that money will make a huge difference.

Well done Ruby, a great game, especially after 11 box, the board was quite scary, could have gone the other way to a devasting crash, but she managed to get a great result.

So many of us didn't think we'd get too many really intense games on this board but that's another one for the collection!

Was a properly interesting 5-box decision where I don't think either call was wrong - and a 3-box No Deal that would've been completely dependent on the 2-box AMO to justify was the only way to break out of that same territory. And what territory it was! This has been quite the week, and ITV must be very glad they nerfed the prize budget now as this would have been a £35k/£100k/£250k 5-box... although having said that she might have dealt for less at 8-box on the Edmonds board!!

The key call was to turn down the 8-box offer on a scary board but with major reward potential against this Banker, and she made that call and got quite the validation for it. Fantastic stuff!

I'm just delighted she was honest with the proveout!! That is probably the actual highlight of the series for me :lol:

Just over 2/3 of the mean at 5-box, I wouldn't have needed to think. I'd have asked Stephen straight away for the question and shouted DEAL!

It's been great to see some big money wins all in quick succession. What a week it's been! :D

Both 5-box and 3-box offers were ones where either decision could have been justified.

It's a shame it's the last show of the run tomorrow as it's been a great run of shows recently.

The Michael Owen celebrity one’s on Sunday. I wonder who will be opening the boxes? The England World Cup ‘98 squad perhaps?
