CASH: $2,700,000

A 5! It's good! You gain 600k, and a million bonus for clearing the first row over the cutoff!

Right, round two is the same. Your job is to keep over $1 million this time. If you get over a million, we play the big bet.

So, we have a 5. Next up, higher or lower?

---

600000 on higher.

CASH: $3,300,000

Ooh, just in, it's a 6! You're well over the cutoff, so you can afford to splash out a bit. A 6 is a hard card to play from though, but remember as we're playing with a proper pack of cards, we're gone through 5 cards already, so the odds aren't THAT 50:50. Still, though, higher or lower?

---

....800000 on higher.

An 8 appears again! Good call, you're doing VERY well at the moment. Two cards left, higher or lower?

---

600000 on higher

No! It's a 4. You're still 2 and a half million above being able to play in the Big Bet. And it's advisable to take as much cash as you can into it.

One card left, higher or lower?

---

I dont wanna risk too much money.

1.500.000 on higher.

IT'S A SEVEN!!

Right, you've sailed into the Big Bet. Now it gets serious. Let's go through the stats here. Of the 43 cards remaining:

16 cards are below a 7.
24 cards are above a 7.
3 cards are a 7.

Here's the Big Bet. It's a double or nothing gamble. You can choose to walk away with your five million, or you can risk it all on one final card turn. If you get the call right, we'll double your cash to a niiiice ten million. If you get it wrong, you'll lose everything. If the other card is a 7, you'll lose everything. You get nothing for a pair, not in this game.

I DON'T know what it is until I draw the card here. So, five million, ten million, or nothing. What's it gonna be?

---

ten million

everything on higher!!!

---

S · U · S · P · E · N · S · E

---

You could have walked away with five million.

That would have put you in third place.

Instead you gambled. Today's Big Bet card...is...

WORTH TEN MILLION DOLLARS!! Congratulations!

---

Woohoo! Ahahaha Awesome!

Thanks!
