Round 2 - PERSON
The Smalls start with a dud of A via FP. Shortly after that, they LAT out while the Cramptons go BANKRUPT. After that, the Anthonys light up three T's for $10,500, and wisely use the WC to double their money with three H's! After some work (including a D while on FP), THEY BANKRUPT TO GIVE UP $22,000!!! OUCH.
A little later, the Smalls get the same fate to hand over $2,050. Towards the end, the Cramptons flush $2,200 down the drain with their third BANKRUPT of the night. After that, the Anthony's put up two R's...
