• In the game "In Between", Greg, having the chance to take all of the money, chose to leave a nickel in the pot as he was feeling sorry for Ray who had no win in any round of the game and was not getting much average on the night.  Little did Greg know that from that nickel, the pot would grow again up to $6.65 with Greg putting in over $4.00 as it grew.  Ray not only got his average, but wound up taking the $6.65 in the end.  In this long game, Rich never did win a round and remained average-less.
• In the game "3-5-7 Guts", Ray felt pretty confident in a five card round as he showed Rich his high straight, but Rich felt even better as he showed Ray his flush.  Ouch!
