FINAL RESULTS
"Who will win? Oh, I guess that's obvious... But who will lose??? That, my dear friends, is the huge question here! Let's begin with the first card oh-so-generously donated by the winner 10k over here. This 2 of Diamonds, gained only in the last round? Why, it seems Nakamura wants that card, for a full 45 coins, in fact." Alydar staples the card to the appropriate wall then proceeds to run his eyes up and down the list, checking the numbers. "My, that brings Nakamura to tie with Morte in 2nd place! But wait, there's more!" Alydar turns to MarkQuestion, taking the fourth King in hand and stapling it to his wall. "MarkQuestion has won his final King! He's tied with them as well in 2nd place! What a race! What a coinci- Hmm?" His eyes once again check the list.
"Ahahaha, sorry, sorry, my mistake there. I forgot the payment. MarkQuestion? If you could so kindly hand over the coins you bid?" ...he does, and they are given to 10k. "And with those 44 coins, his points fall to two below Morte and Nakamura, at last place yet again. But! Will his last two coins pay off to put him above them?" A dramatic pause almost occurs, but Alydar decides not to wait quite that long and discards the 4 and 5 of Hearts. "No. No, it doesn't. For Nakamura has won two of the remaining four cards, with the remaining cards unbid for! And with that, Nakamura's points rise to a spectacular... 33. Well, 10 points in a single round is a rather nice feat indeed, and to have those points be enough to make a loser a winner. Congratulations!" (For whoever cares, the 3 was won for 46 coins, the Queen for 24)
At this point, confetti rains down from above, and a few squirrels. These just so happen to attack the losers and Alydar before fleeing back into the walls and, presumably, the confetti cannons once again. "Blasted squirrels. Ahahaha! Haha... Congratulations to our two winners! Your prizes will be transferred to you shortly. Thank you, and we'll see you again soon!"
