I said last week that there had to be a high-caliber player in the contestant pool to take down Adam. That turned out to be Richard. But tonight we had twice as many superb challengers. They shot out of the blocks and left Richard silent through the early part of the game, till he made a heroic comeback. I knew the first and third DDs and for a moment feared Richard would miss the last one.
For Final I said Sweden but changed to Norway at the end, figuring it had more islands. Knew the first-term NY Senator. The finish was somewhat anti-climactic, but what a game though.
They were at funny scores for Rich to cover everything. He bet enough to cover the all in from third place but it meant Caleb was safe on the triple stumped. Also Andy had to wager something from 3rd place
