Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Early on, Christina lights up two A's on FP as well as two H's for the Wild Card. Soon enough, she BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side to give up $1,300 and the WC. A little later, Ken buys the only bad vowel of this puzzle (O). Towards the end, Christina lands on the Mystery Wedge between FP and LAT. After calling a G, she takes a $4,250 gamble...and gets the $10,000! But she then sends $13,250 down the drain by BANKRUPTING again. Ken then calls the D, and we have...
