Comments

*What a show! It was a giveaway show... but to the extreme! No IUFB was under $2,000. We had two cash games, which rarely happens (did it ever happen before?). Switch? was played for two cars, which I never thought would happen! Throw in the Triple Play win and the $23,000 won in Plinko and we get a show that will be extremely hard to top!
*In the end, $164,033 in cash and prizes was given away. That's unbelievable. No show last season gave away more than $100,000.
*Here's what Willie could have won today:
1: Motorcycle + $500 Bonus ($3,499)
2: Three cars in Triple Play ($62,168)
3: $11,000 in Showcase Showdown
4: Both Showcases ($90,221)
Total: $166,888
*Why couldn't they have played Barker's Bargain Bar for two cars? It would have been cool to see a car on those stands.
*Nice speech Sid.
