>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ACEHSS 8C CHASErS +80 80
#note Good start here. I did not know CHASSEs which would have given him 1 less floater to work with.
>Andy_Hoang: EEGIRRV F1 GRIEVER. +66 66
#note There was no stopping Andy from bingoing back.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAHJNOT 1F .ANJAH +51 131
#note Best play.
>Andy_Hoang: EOW 2I OWE +41 107
>Samuel_Kaplan: EELLOTZ 3B ZEOL.TE +34 165
#note Yep. Cleans up the rack nicely and scores. Hopefully he doesn't hit me hard with a play from 4A to 4D.
>Andy_Hoang: AEFIK 4H FAKIE +41 148
#note That's another effective way to score.
>Samuel_Kaplan: LNRSSUX D2 R.UX +22 187
#note Not bad, but K1 (HE)L(I)X is a little better. With the FAKIES hook open, I'd rather dump the X and try to bingo asap instead of doing M1 LUNS. But yea, HELIX it is. #visionsmall
>Andy_Hoang: GMMOO D8 .OMMOG +28 176
#note I didn't even hold this because it looks like a kind of homolog. And after the game, he thought it was some sort of medical term, which coming from him sounds believable because he is in medical school.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ILNSSTY 14D SLY +29 216
>Samuel_Kaplan: ILNSSTY -- -29 187
#note I didn't challenge it off, but for the wrong reason: I really thought HOMMOG* was good and therefore I thought HOMMOGS* was good! But more importantly, 12A TYLOSINS was missed! #visionsad
>Andy_Hoang: IPQU 6F .QUIP +22 198
#note That could have ended a lot worse than it did.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ILNSSTY 11D .INTY +20 207
#note I didn't find TYLOSINS on the last turn so I wasn't finding it on this turn either.
>Andy_Hoang: ALY C6 LA.Y +23 221
#note Not sure if he saw B1 LAZY for 10 more with this partial rack, but I can understand him passing it up if he did see it after I just exposed an S when I phonied.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DLOSSTU 5J ODS +25 232
>Andy_Hoang: EOV 14B VOE +27 248
#note He did a great job of messing with my brain this game, because that's now 3 times in this game alone that I've been on the wrong end of a phony! You know, I did not even think of the time he tried LOURERER* at nationals to try to put pressure on Jackson Smylie at the end of their game. He obviously knows what he is doing. Perhaps he picked up this trick from Matthew Tunnicliffe?
>Samuel_Kaplan: AABLSTU 10G ABUT +17 249
#note I did not know ABLAUTS from this rack. I was afraid to try HOMMOGES* which was clearly lurking over my head until my next turn.
>Andy_Hoang: FI B1 FI. +30 278
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADILNSU 12H SUNDIAL +77 326
#note Thank you. And I CORRECTLY decided not to play HOMMOGES*!
>Andy_Hoang: EL A1 EL +23 301
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?BINOTT 13M BIT +20 346
#note BOTTLING plays. I looked through the A for a while and gave up too quickly.
>Andy_Hoang: ADENR 14J REDAN +27 328
#note I really like 8A EN(CHASErS) as an extension, but he probably had the remaining Es so if he had both, this is a nice play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: OOT 11J OOT +17 363
>Andy_Hoang: CEINRW 15F WINCER +37 365
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ADINRT M1 DINs +20 383
#note Just gonna make the sure play that wins on the spot because 3L is his only spot to play PEG to go out.
>Andy_Hoang: EGP - +0 365
#note He had to challenge, otherwise he couldn't win.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ART B5 RAT +11 394
#note Absolutely awful game by me, probably my worst played game of this tournament. Way too many potentially costly errors. Andy outplayed me once again and I got lucky. I'm still 3 games behind first place and I am playing the guy in first next game, so I better step it up or else I will not be winning this tournament. 8-4 +155.
