Previously, Dave Bury won a tight match, but became the season's fifth $100,000 loser. Let's see if we can rebound from that heartbreaker.

Jackpot Round - EVENT (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Jay begins w/ two T's for the Wild Card, but gives that up and $2,700 to BANKRUPT. Lusine picks up the Free Spin + $300 w/ a D as well as the $5K bonus w/ an N, but then loses $5,300 to the MDW's right side BANKRUPT. That prompts her to use the FS...and she BANKRUPTS again two spins later to lose $300. Asya gathers up $2,700 worth of L's and F's...
