A $700 N gets Sigi started, but she’s gonna regret not using her WC in the last round, because she’s BANKRUPTed near $650 to lose that and the 7 Benjamins. Second, Kaidren can’t capitalize on TD w/ an S. Third, Jerry takes a $600 T, buys three E’s, and picks up the 1/2 CAR near the pink $600, but he then buys a worthless I. Sigi then picks a $500 R, buys three A’s, but she strikes out w/ the other dud vowel of the board (O)…
