Catch 21: Andrew's Big Money Moment

[devind151]

Best moment for anybody, it's like the cards were rigged because in 5 cards, he got $5,000 and it took 3 cards before he got a 5 to win $50,000. Guy got really lucky!

"I have the power" ..yeah I liked Thundercats too. (I'm being sarcastic)

[SuperGamer7]

@eshaw2115 :PPPPP That's HE-MAN, not Thundercats!

Oh wait, that WAS sarcasm, HA! I just wanted to make sure!

[barber215]

it seems so easy to win, but it takes luck and card knowledge to win. nice job

[XeroRez]

A four!? I have the power!!

[Hondo20132]

Note there were 3 $25K wins in each of the two seasons so far (i'm counting this moment as two).

[nwest1140]

Especially in the first season.

[NatterV2]

my god, goldentusk, no wonder i reconised him, great job for him

[nextbarker]

That 18-3, that was luck, I thought he was gone with that 18

[SuperGamer7]

Wait, how was he "gone" in your opinion? All four 3's were still in the deck, and Andrew could have always played other cards elsewhere. You can't just hold out for 10's and Ace's, you've got to play the other cards too, and play them in a reasonable manner!

[ngarcia103]

"SuperGamer7": That is a pet peeve of mine, when people in the bonus round set up three 10s, hoping for three Aces.

They should realize there aren't any more Aces than anything else in the deck.

[SuperGamer7]

True, but from what I see, most contestants want to go for an Ace, or an 11 to set up the best possible senerio, because there are more 10's in the deck than any other card.

If you saw the latest win, Michol wanted that last hand to set up at 11, when it happened, given he had three power chips at his disposal, and only one 10 on the board, you could sense the $25,000 was practically in the bag!

[ngarcia103]

For me, I'd go for the Ace (or 11) FIRST, THEN get the face card, wherever possible.

It's better to set up as many 11s, NOT as many 10s as you can, like how Michol did with his last hand.

Unless you start with a 10, then one has to improvise from there.

[Hondo20132]

It's better if it's vice versa.

[ngarcia103]

Really? Because I find a lot of contestants are way too dependent on the Ace.

That's why I think it's better to set up 11s, not 10s.

[Hondo20132]

Because there is 4 times better of a chance to aim for a 10 when you have 11.

[ngarcia103]

I meant to say, it's better to make 11s with your hands, hoping for the face cards, as opposed to the other way around. By "11s", I meant having an 11, not going for it. Sorry if that was confusing.

And at least you can see that. A lot of contestants lose out on a lot of money because they always line up 10s, hoping an Ace will show up.

[Hondo20132]

Exactly.

[SuperGamer7]

WOW! That was something! The cards were played perfectly! GSN is on a roll with this show, I smell season 3!

[TVLubber]

I didn't see it, because Brighthouse Networks in Central Florida somewhat doesn't have GSN, and that's unfair! GSN should've been on ALL cable providers!

[GameShowNetwork]

I hope Brighthouse gets a grant to add GSN to their lineup. The only ways to watch GSN so far for you, is Dish Network and DirecTV.

[CraigFoye80]

First $50,000 winner in the history of the game show "Catch 21"!!

[comedychrises]

That's Goldentusk! I swear to god that's Goldentusk, you know, the guy who does the Movie Theme Song with Lyrics added, right.

[The11thHour]

You don't know how happy you've just made me.

[dkninjafpc]

You're right! I didn't notice that at first. I had to check his page just to be sure.

[mullethead201]

AWESOME WIN!!!!!!!!
