Amanda, we come to you first. You had 6,000 going into Final. You put down 'Who is Iago?' You are correct. How much did you risk? Everything. Brings you to 12,000. In Game 1, you put up 34,400 and that makes your 2 game total 46,400. Takes us to Kim - 23,200 going in. Do we find Iago? We do. Did you risk a lot? You went all in. 46,400 is your score for this game. Add that to the 56,000 from game 1, gives you a 2 game total of 102,400 as we come to Melissa Chase. Do we see Iago? We do. Did you risk enough? 11,600. That makes your game 2 score 56,600. You had 45,600 in game 1, gives you a 2 game total of...102,200, which is not enough and that means Kim wins Match 4! She is now 1 win away from that $2,000,000 bounty and the title of THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. The trophy will be in the studio on Monday! Will Melissa or Amanda be able to stop Kim? We'll find out in about 95 hours from now. Won't you join us then? So long!
