Not a banner night for me. Got the first DD and Final, no stumpers (but should have known the NY troupe, I’ve seen them enough times). Had I not lived in NYC long ago, I might not have known Final. I don’t recall ever seeing it up close. Andrew all but disappeared in the 2nd round. Considering her competition, Gerri rebounded decently.
Scott is edging closer to an average $ total like Ken’s (which was about $33K/win). He’s nearing $30K. I have to assume Holzhauer holds the record for biggest one-day win and highest average win.
As usual, it was another runaway for Scott as he left both of the challengers far behind. No, none of us ever heard of the Flatiron Building.
Gerri had the same numbers as Scott but Gerri was missing another 2 in her score.
All these runaway wins are rather boring. Impressive by Scott, but I’d like to see a competitive game once in a while.
At some point with a player like Scott, I start feeling bad for the players who are getting mowed down. I wonder if they could come up with a new ToC system, like have a 5 to 10 game winners tournament and an 11 to 25 game tournament.
Retiring them after 25 games seems like a good move to me.
Scott is now #8 in the all-time winnings. He becomes the first 15 day champion since Adriana of last season. Only 2 more games left this season. Scott will face off against two new players in Season 41’s penultimate game.
