Congrats to Josh on his third win despite not getting one of the daily doubles. I think he definitely has what it takes to win game four. Even though Darwin couldn’t get much going today, Josh might score a runaway tomorrow depending on how well he does.
As always, William Weyser would say those daily doubles.
Congratulations to Josh Saak on his 3-Day win! $66,405 is a super impressive amount of money. I hope heisa 4-Day champion with winnings of $89,800!
Essentially asking “Which ocean is Madagascar in?” for a $1,600 clue? Talk about a gift.
Talk about that money wise of a question.
