Round 2 - AROUND THE HOUSE
Steve began with a $300 S, but he then got his second BANKRUPT of the evening (near $3,500). Frances then said a $300 T, a $7,000 R pair, but she also hit BANKRUPT (this one via the MDW's left side) and gave up $7,050. Chris chose a $550 L and 2 A's but then got the same fate on the same side of the MDW to lose $300. Steve then picked up the MDW, got $600 w/ 2 N's and used the $500 to clean out the vowels w/ 3 I's and 2 O's...but he BANKRUPTED again near $3,500 to lose that and $100; that was his third of the night. Frances said 3 $300 F's, 2 $600 C's and 3 $800 H's...
