D Magazine‘s own Zac Crain advanced to Round 4 of our tournament with a hard-fought 385 to 368 win over Sandra Silva, an MBA student at Texas Woman’s University. From Zac:
It was back and forth pretty much all the way. Never could get ahead by much, especially since I got the cheapest bingo in the history of cheap bingos (PRICERS, for something like 45 points). I thought I was sunk when Sandra played TRIVIAL for 42 with only a couple of tiles left. But I was able to overcome that on my last two turns, winning on my very last play. She was tough. I’d say I did it for Evan Grant, but he’s a no-good turncoat.
Board-jump.
