[Music] Oh [Music] oh what a lot come whether oh it's credible save his form in life right here on ball three all right all right we are in a game one of group one in the semi-finals we've got Derrick price player one yeah Jana I'm sorry and player two gene Luen player three and Louise wagons fun all right therefore and we're on laser Q that's good a little bit more fast action here yeah variety C okay so with the high seat now Louise the high C then John yeah force right cuz fetal was the top set in you clip knocked out so did Derek mcclift in the second high seat in this room it's right there yeah so we got three 11 9 and 21 yeah it looks like gene peak to go through it with the second I see some people some people want to save their picks till finals yeah yeah or some people just are out of picks already at ages and prefer to play whatever other people want to play and [ __ ] happened in my group I had a an option to I was checking the bottom seat and I had an option to Vic yep and depending on the bank sometimes you're like it honestly doesn't matter I like all the games enough it's it's it's uncommon but I've literally been in that position so I don't know about this modern Bank I would definitely fix my games in the modern we won't stay well look an amazing game actually in one my throw away tickets on more walkthroughs yeah but your finals on it yeah don't wanna it depends on who you're talking to me against you guys maybe I'd prefer that [Music] they show you we are mindful I would know it know that oh my god that iron made it's the hardest playing Iron Maiden I've ever played I was pretty happy with my 40 million or 28 million what some people were happy with they're happy with their 30 million yeah alright so group number two is will Derek Michael and arraignment on King of Steel but Derek he's stepping up Derek Christ is stepping up first loop number one day I won so hit the eight ball up to 100,000 and hit some drop targets you've got a few of his ball targets ready there he actually got the one the one there something I don't like shooting the early targets from the lower figure the angle is oh yeah yeah you got it okay now this this game allowed a lot of movement from what I know this yeah but not as much as me and you gave it the last game we played on it so sometimes the missing it gets rid of a ball and sometimes it doesn't you know you know why that's pretty strange zero if you hit a drop which is unlit I know it won't take away but not always not always I've had it I've hit like eight targets and I didn't lose any progress maybe a family at three yeah read that it takes away but if you get the two it won't take don't know oh that stand-up doing its job right good guys good progress no experts on both yeah it's about ready to get that rock down just as a reminder for people joining in there's usually a bracket between the two lower right flippers but it has been removed so scissor flipping is in action yep and we've seen within that two stage is beautifully though you know get that option then just yeah just have to be careful when you flip and it's close to the mineral way got you got to two for one there get some multipliers up top the multipliers do hold between balls right at the top four I believe yeah I think they do and then they go back a little bit if you go too fast to their icon like seaweed III feel like the four acts stays but after that it you walk back brother little I don't think any state that in the previous round so here's player three gene Luen right it's such a strange beat from the last one up there yeah kicks it down to the side get your little overanxious yeah not a flipping there dangerous flipping gots a one job data left out Lane is so hard to like get any action on it's tiny it's like Ripley's Believe It or Not takes out his to two ball yeah lost one there yep so you can't lose someone it looks like but you can lose the two and on it maybe Carl knows why sometimes you lose fall from the bank he had one in two meet he hits some of the other rough target and he lost number two if you miss the drop and he get the ones that aren't lit they will go back with one but not all that but not all the time but not all times it doesn't well it doesn't you don't like loose no it always does it I had I sing I've had it and it has in New York he's wrong though Jean ends up getting his first four balls actually I'm fair with him to shot he knows everything usually made in the bills maybe we got Jack the injured the chat I'm sure we've missed a lot of people in chat a four to five hundred and thirty-seven thousand yeah nobody spoke the game open and Annie's uh it's all there man he's got a really good multiplier progress though he's one away from getting his multiplier and he's got I think to progression he was like hit two targets um so he's not that far away from popping right back into it so he's getting two of the multipliers do you want to touch it oh yeah you know if you try to to save the boat he already can't keep that rightfully pure but just has to be a quick flip you have any flip at all dirts practicing phasing that all right so he's got to get the seven and then be eight but you can build the value before hands if you shoot it like it works I think that's how it worked you build the value and you cash it in when you cash in the bowl yeah from my knowledge I was wondering so none that I can't very much fun you can shoot the eight ball a few times is good because you can get progression to your multiplier and you build the bathroom all right so eighty two hundred thousand and then when it's yeah do you cash on cash in under eight thousand yep yep and I think when you get the top row I think it also spots you a shot I think I'm not sure unbelievably hard yeah it does spot so tough angle we have the eight ball like here he's got a he's got a multiplier Derek opted is flipped there yeah all right got a spinner lift and everything's ready to go to get that and that is why I hate that right Satan bounce you have to be ready to put that away just like how I go noisier through the bookkeeper sick all right it's got one target down but it's got some good multiplier progress see oh that's good all right just 2x and we got Robert CAG now in the chat there's two more targets oh wow I went straight in you didn't touch anything okay well well you got good progress there so that's the only board - so you know one big boat on these gave me ball three money ball all right so he's already got the hard target son so now we just got a Wow that out lane is brutal alright and Louise here helping to get some some stuff going yeah okay 8,000 yeah that was a pretty tough fastball yeah see no progress only there's two and oh babe that's like three drain on the Left I'll clean it again oh yeah so we're going into ball three and everyone's kind of there Derek Derek if he hits the eight ball it'll be a very good value see what the scores at hand yeah this did he go back to the top gets easy right any eggs he's gonna be watching me okay all right you can sometimes hit the eight ball from with the upper flipper oh you can't really hard you can't ya because they totally get the power cuz you have to go all the way up and hit the upper target oh there we go alright oh nice no flip he spelled I think he spelled like the he let the spinner which also spots he went so he did get a Paul there yep you got a rock down what is the arrow I think it's extra bowl I believe which give you nothing yep woohoo so there was a question on how monster bash played in the main by Robert Gallo I actually didn't play it always think I have a way to do that it's bouncy it was very sensitive things but I so calculate earlier I need put some scores on here yeah now has anyone started Monsters of Rock I think I've seen one bash I want to say but no rock yeah that'd be a pin see strong though here's a piane alright Yanni he's got three balls you got the multiplier so if you can just hit those last two targets down and start hitting this 20,000 let me get some bonus yeah one game that's that's my yeah so he ended at 134 there so I mean is I had so it's going for Derek here Wow quick lunch yeah patient no hesitation alright 2x yeah June's been doing that all night long he's got six ball hit this I he's gonna get really oh oh personally oh no way we are seeing some awesome wait wait wait topping the ball flew through the swamp okay it that happened a couple times already yeah so ruling is they put the ball in the trough right boys him you know with their right away so much on the board he just appeared and it stopped him yeah yes single ball game the bike for his clothes well I mean is in the lead with 235 nothing to the state police doesn't have anything going for that's gonna be hot so if she can plunge up top and get her last Lane and then hit the last two targets so be in good shape yeah but after that you're gonna have to get some twenty thousands and get some bonus oh there's the land yeah there's the target all right I guess when it's on those targets the upper one zone spot you want or I don't think they do more value in foody I know if she spelled the other standard tag okay when I say they're uh-oh nice good bump fairly low so Oh another nice a try it's a it's gonna have to catch the ball ready yeah I get that five she's getting some points but nobody ever goes back up get some value it's more multipliers dad enough to pass video - oh I say you good reflux Oh flipper it's on 40,000 oh no he's an elite you know but there's a very good chance that the paw pumpers will feed back up and get it all she's quite right it okay what now all right here it is there it is a pilot as long as he doesn't all she goes back he if she hits this lane she will probably have Dean and bonus oh yeah cuz it'll swap the eight ball oh nice same again oh wow I wasn't ready it's how cuz it only moves the one away yeah yeah only move it with the right flipper it's hard to get used to as well oh yeah it's the back spin whoo he's trying to get it under control back up the spinner into some thousands afterwards at the eight so you think they catch up to 341 yes I Derek okay so hit some targets down it's gonna be real close there's one more oh not these are really close by 3x 3x times 15 oh no targets well second is better much better than last so far away from basically nothing in the second place yep all right and the other group is playing Kings to steal right now Raymond Davidson will McKinney Michael Madsen and Derek Thompson all right got some sponsors for you guys captain auctions warehouse yeah but you just every single month go check out their website and we got comet pinball get your LEDs do you like my cat Thank You Locke boy for always sharing Penelope with the world sport ban do you like sport bit score bit yeah its core bits great it's a it's awesome helps the score keepers down a lot it does so I told Fred about it and he thought I was joking because like a you serious it's like that's actually a live feed of this course and it is yep it's awesome then the nice color DMD on Baywatch and we had one on a monster Monster Bash is a great one yeah I love the color dmdm of spasm and have you had a chance to check out all the awesome games yeah great collection yeah any game you want to play is probably there i've yet to play on penn stadium whites unfortunately yeah you played it out our pop pin burden Berg yeah it's great the could see much better on the dark games yeah it's great I feel like in some games that might take away a little but it definitely helps you play better yeah it seemed ball much better everyone's can play it on the aliens game that we have is it's too dark yeah I complain is actually those inlanes just cover the slingshots and I can't do anything about it yeah so you have no clue where you're nudging up talk thank you guys all for coming by checking out the awesome pinball here an IEE pinball do you shoot us over a follow and you're interested in in other videos karl has done he throws it on as a youtube channel you got a bagel there's your main all right freefall and I haven't seen this in minutes all right good start here got three so far got some targets down looks like Jean Paul II picked this game after he won his tiebreaker on it yeah just trying to hit some targets down he's got that poor is look for 5,000 you tried for it before Hank always lifts yeah so it's probably better value to go for the ones that are not always with you know that's what I go for yeah this is a huge ball one here it is he's got progress on fourth four drops right now yeah there's a fifth the worst range but you know that's a great start yeah you gotta be careful of those one and twos now so here's ball two Oh does it's a one so if he gets an inline here he's gonna have to redo all that progress yeah so the best way to do it now is to just not even like get enough score that if that happens you're just already in a good place I mean he's already at 49,000 which was higher than a fee as far as we saw at the other gear there's a ten thousand point target or not right now foot going into ball three just under 50,000 yeah uh-oh oh I got a flipper oh I've seen seen that drain a few times yeah there is 10,000 up to 16 and everything's everything's lit but didn't let it bounce on that left Casey Butler take a shot at the one for 5,000 oh nasty drain there so he's down his last fall so let's see what he does 66,000 in the fall 5 very nice see if mrs. the drops unfortunately there it's alright getting some 500 some thousands oh nice ally pasture yep nice little bounce all right thank you go for the three or four here doesn't matter and I'm both try not to so poor here yep there it is waterside - thought I'd - action go I'm there but alright and at this point you just go for you want to finish him up here points his points you know especially uh-oh he won Game one right yeah he oh wait no he took dirt on Game one so yeah 83,000 solid very good game that's I mean that's how he won the tiebreaker have to move on so I'm sure yeah very confident confident played it a few times that's what's going on so player 2 is gonna be Yanni all right well at least there's one fan for that alien pinball machine played it it's interesting game I've got some shots on it Karl and myself have had a good amount of time on it I'd say it's an interesting take and I actually feel that that they can't complete it because I feel like it yeah they had time to work on it more would have done a much better game yeah all right Johnny really needs to win or take second here to get back in this thing so it's gonna get some quick win lanes there he's already got three of his four top lanes that's a really good plunge yep that is four in the i3 I'm fine so it's a really really good start so it's good he's gonna need it trying to get ya got any mm it's quite a goal to climb - all right live catch like a sticky paper yeah sure look like it he's gonna go for that 5000 gets it when we get center chain up one point five thousand lit on that six head he gets it off that bank all right oh he's dropping to his knee yeah he moves around a lot when he plays yeah all right yeah like the active players to get three storage income here at 350 it goes for another 5,000 thousands of points there's a two so now he's got just the six and one remaining yeah when it gets moving and gets moving alright there's an hour 5,000 not only all right on the bat 34 c 34 going in a ball three I think here you just try to avoid the six already you don't want the seeks yeah because you're probably gonna get the one at some point and you don't want to reset at this point of the game yeah there's the one no I was a that's uh the camp worst mistake worst place to miss the seven yep so instead of being ten thousand it's only five thousand and now they're involved don't let this fall but next fall that will be reset consider numbers yeah so this is great on ball 5 but ball 3 if you drink right now nothing not in a good spot so hopefully he could catch up on this ball there's no wire with the whoa Wow isolation point oh wow looks like you might have actually caught it if he didn't if the six just threw targets but they're not worth anything they're not even worth 50 points a meaning nin Lane oh yeah boom the only way to get points from targets is it could be a full set so he almost got that there's a full set all right is that 67 and he knows that he's restarting from all right that's all right I mean you can still get a few numbers and yeah probably be view setup when you only need 83 like three targets he could just go for the pops at this stage yeah 10 pops and eta is done yeah once 5,000 in the mix and that's about it wow he's he's very very efficient on his target dropping so we can drop in our bank of targets right all that this one got really interesting two more shots back in this known enough for they're throwing it up to the six is probably a good idea here he went with the seven going down that right seven he needn't laying 12,000 points so he didn't get seven pop my [ __ ] and hit the lots of pops there a lot of hops only the center when he's the one thousand right yep so that for will always be lit for five thousand so if you can hit the three and then the four doing it the hard way right now here any cool nice beautiful oh that's just a target though like you see all right you guys all right all right all right so that's five thousand resent target boom all right now we just got a hit one he's got it before well you only need a thousand point that he could just go for normal targets just to pop hit anything the Towson poppers yeah 83/100 side Hey oh yeah that's a close one Wow great combat he is only player to so still playing yeah it's it's a victory right now for sure yeah it's a great game 290 time really strong well done Jonnie Jonnie given you guys got nice to loot yeah say hi to Finland the motherland uh yeah to say hello in Finnish book but rates all right that's uh you know you come in you from hero3 you've got a 80,000 90,000 the board I so wish this was the other game which all I needed to get was 32,000 but they hit you you got to play the game as it sits and honestly you're trying to get as many five thousands as you can always can you do right for the bounce plus or not you have three and four are the player in the lead right now so that could you know put the energy on their own the local yeah their zero and one pointers are putting the pressure on they're really just wants to get at least one point here they can get one point they'll put them in a great position you know especially with Johnny Lee leading so all right there's a sick almost got the five got some thousand pops so early you're just trying to get as many numbers as you can right yeah just put the tip on that all right so you just read up back up and hope for toppling together I mean right now he has the five thousand for the sec yeah which I would go for but other than that not doing all that much nice pass mmm back in that six ranks yeah he got the six but almost the foreign seven that's the one you already had yeah he's just trying to find some way to light some of those drops maybe finding these shots as well yeah so throw it back up he's only at 10,000 without hitting a 5,000 drop so all the popovers Hey lots of slams are you going to roll I'd say up top is not getting any more numbers but now he's got nothing on this side so all right I think I'm gonna step out of the booth or well I'm gonna try and play some high stakes thanks I will and good luck the show's gonna build a few tickets which gene are you looking forward to playing over there its Paragon right Godzilla no not Paragon don't count on it yeah but Godzilla Godzilla is great I love Godzilla doctor sees one it's a good man coming alright so we've got two drops to complete the bank he's got three moanin because JP three thank you so much for that subscription all right so I mean Derek is staying alive he's not scoring a whole lot of points right now but for these gaming some advancement and a 21,000 when one ball is really nice like he's on pace for a hundred thousand which would definitely be the goal right now the lowliest targets number two he has to just hit the bank right I would go for that to myself boom there it goes I always got the four lit for five thousand he gets the seven for 500 he's getting a nice control I'm still washing again he's such a defense that of play it's interesting yeah like the defense nice he's relatively new to pinball he started about the same time there's me about three years ago already yeah sorry 30,000 ball one very nice Christy for six and seven minutes he's got the one two three and five still available that five bills taken care of he has the three flip for five thousand so what does the stand-up target on the upper right do you the one that I'll eat any other pop punk girl just like time a bit points is that one yeah five hundred points oh he's got six of this seven drops lit so we'd like to avoid that three which is the right Outland yeah do you want to do but you doubler one through these times you know the biggest issue I have with this is I'd actually almost want to tilt but you don't want to tilt on this because you'd lose an extra ball yeah I mean if you want to keep them purpose anyway probably not all right 41,000 taking Stein walking win boom 5000 now with the potential toting through all right all right you have to plan for I keep the one house ball at some point so you know you want to stand pace your thousand aboard as anyone played monsters monsters was not here so no I don't believe these only at the Justice yes right yep so yeah with a beetles all right he's good but a bit leaped over there yeah he's got three targets went boom oh is that only 5,000 though because he's in DM very look likely yeah why is that 63 so that's not bad 64 no probably just go for these two your targets and keep going at it the thing is fear here is if you hit those targets and you go down the out Lane we're starting off scratch yeah I see so simple oh no no oh that's what a save probably just saved his game that finish watching the game than they're anticipating to school we're at 75 were at 80 strong oh right yeah he hit the six straight on all right just one at a time it's gonna back him either the five or the 70 they opt for the seven he's now up to 85 surpassing gene the five could be dangerous there all right but five definitely could be dangerous here I prefer the backhand on it but and then there he said 36,000 passing yani they are actually you know it's getting dumb let's go Derek even Carli smiling over there impressed it's the best game so far right now and we've seen a few girl hundred thousand but yeah in the final that's the first one oh yeah we've seen that bounce coming but huh but he's talked out two balls and he still got six seven seven four five thousand I mean after winning Game one that's that's a strong strong oh yeah from Game two yeah and III still not late so yeah that before oh it's the one what brought it to this yep it's trying to reset his rack their laptop still worth 500 plus resetting which is 5,000 nice and there it goes oh nice keeps getting that inland yeah it's getting left to 121 put a few nice bounces nothing like they sure had there for sure hold on what's the high score dude we have a double role that would have been a very impressive let's look mama nice pace of doing pretty well here I'm gonna look at a day one you can look at day two all right let's see yeah the same games proposed ink lasso pair from San Francisco to have 220 that's one out my bad three full right feel at 158 today at the high school they pretty much got the highest score today yeah and then lament had 180 search yesterday Wow you know how crazy that is that you have that one game in the final and so many time you see people just beating the highest go in qualifying yep it's like what are the chances Derek's trying to get the top scorer of the weekend Wow I heard if you double roll the game it just explodes with that truth we're hopefully gonna find out all right it means we've seen enough free food for the rest of the tournament a nice little in there but down the middle come in if you want to join us we're down one we're currently watching a dark price on pretty fall would you like to introduce yourself hi I'm Bowen I and the 25th place competitor I think that my reward for finishing 25th in classics today is that I get ten minutes of commentary that's the price yeah that's rough for the other side of the bottle yeah it's fine you did better than us yeah I mean I was generally happy with this this game is really interesting I had never seen it before I'd seen sky jump but I really liked have you discussed the the scoring and the 5,000 targets yeah it's been only like five times very long games so that's one hundred and ninety one thousand f2f for ball that's the best score of the weekend being played right now no seriously that's an absolute freaking incredible store yeah so what do you think keep what is he doing better than anyone else you know number one he hasn't reset his his targets yet which we saw gene do on like ball three if he goes down that three and it's gonna reset next ball and the scoring is worthless Evan let's go five 198,000 oh wow that is yes that's absolutely ballistic that is incredible and so that's uh unless Louise comes all the way through with the two equally miraculous game Derek will advance right and actually even if Louise does go all the way through Derek will also advance oh he's actually an eighth floor he's actually now pumped he has punched his ticket to the Final Four with that well deserved yeah that was very impressive I mean he he played very control he had good band she was aiming for the right targets and you know the game was rigged me in place oh yes it was the king of her right targets on this game the current targets we show a game earlier where Asia had 15,000 he just keep lunging you know yeah houseboat yeah he had to 500 point balls and that's that's it's kind of the nature of this game one of the things I think is interesting about how players handle situations like this is you won't you often can play too fast I'll sonic not a game like this where the ball is slowly coming to you and you have plenty of time to see where it's going usually yeah but if you if you're too hyped your shots will be inaccurate you're just it'll be bad here's Louis's ball to she's got a few drop targets lit only one left juries at the bank that was very nice there Missy and and that too that that's that flipped there it always in a lot of danger and she's already completed the seven bank so so at what point do you decide to go just strictly for the drop targets instead of kind of send this back up like right now she's alright teaching I always go for the 5000 when when I'm on the right flipper to do so it's there right yeah if it's there otherwise I didn't try to relight some things the six also is very gettable from shooting this shot up top right so that's definitely a thought process instead of trying to backhand some shots which may be more dangerous at the time overall it's a very good decision yeah so she's got the three lit for 5,000 here she hits the floor now that four is always lit so I would have gone for a different one but Nepal before she's got fifty one thousand two hundred seventy points she's definitely in range of catching up with the rest of the field right mm pop that was very pretty there to keep it out of the one and get it to get a new number yeah that's gonna be a huge lot of points oh just oh I gotta go I guess all right all right take care of exactly that boy stopping by okay so what does she have here she's got oh oh nice save very and I said she should do that quick okay five thousand she's at 62 what she is they could breed there there once that seven yeah ones that sit on it missed it but she'll have another chance at it oh that was nice Mike track no nice like dawn was saying sometimes you play a little fast that was only worth 500 there but don't yet moved yep yeah it moves like Madden for so shit's nearly 70,000 they don't know why number left so that's not mean oh so she's going into the last fall she's at 70,000 when he one does not want to hit that six nice and now she wants to hit now this target here is worth ten thousand and she gets it eighty-one she's 2,000 away from catching up nice little bounce there she one thousand pop nice okay so now she need 92 to 87 so one 5,000 there it is 92 oh wow so now it's the mountain the climb to catch up to Derrick she's gonna get the hundred marker where there it is I know we are looking at at eight for 101 and she doesn't catch Derek you know a hundred thousand away yeah but she's got everything what she needs to it's only ten ten fifteen drops and 20 drops something like that I can't do mapping this is why I'm sitting here I'll just straight face Wow that was that that was a game of principle wow that is dangerous though see going in a two-player hundred thousand Oh oh-hoo-hoo shotgun myself that's gone now in for the good but what game what a ball five by Luiz to get two points there wow that's two games in a row she's crushing the last bowl yep so we could see the how the other groups doing they played laser q last game and we're even Davidson's currently in the lead with six points Michael Madsen with five points Derrick Thompson with three points in will McKinney unfortunately will not advance to the finals Wow let's rock it after I mean e8 it's a two game in the previous round yeah seeing that flipped around quite a bit that it does how's everyone doing tonight alright what has everyone played what was the last pinball machine you played tonight yeah it's a good question I think I played a holiday v team you know it's that it was the first new ticket you can I roll the dice i I unfortunately blue my ticket on her way there but yeah I don't the same to my new ticket it's a very interesting game I had never I think I never even seen that game before yeah it's a rare game I've seen Allison that this turn a yeah this changes people don't get it confused right it's a solid state yeah no not a system 11 but about that another type I believe it's the 1980s machine it's very interesting and it has some things to eat yeah so my last game was right next to it the Iron Maiden okay yep I'm just wasting my ticket I had one more play I'd wanted to check out monster bash but sure I'm like oh yeah it's commentating time all right that's game three so we've got vault on now volt on I actually enjoyed my first game of it and then I did not like my last few games of them you know I you never even tried that game so yeah he's number eight talking that was not thinking oh yeah the number eight lamps out and go buddy suck it now my understanding based off of what I was told to do and did my first game and did well was you hit the a and the B and that's gonna light your spinners okay sounds pretty for one thousand spin well you do have the nine numbers from the inlands the top lanes and the side lanes and to stand ups if you collect all nine you get a super bonus here of a 18 and then if you do it again you get 36 Wow you get 3x honestly I'm not exactly sure how to get there but I know I got there twice with you the super bonus or what's it called jumbo bonus I think is what they actually put it on so can you shoot the a and B - did the Spinoza you just screen up top and hope to have pops do it for you so I successfully did hit the a and B from the fibers my first game and then I failed to do so the other games yeah I see so you want to plunge the left one or the right one so you can get a pop into this target so yeah I believe that would be the correct strategy to go for it I mean seems like it's a bit of a regime of wildfire right which we've seen in the morning I think in my opinion but yeah I played wildfire once so I can't recall it unfortunately alright so looking at the groups and here I mean Jean and Johnny's really have to win and we've got these four pips to keep us with the spawn so we don't need to worry about keeping up with that it's very feasible in that game at least it's it's very good for the score keeper right by the time they they come up to the machine it's already prefilled yeah but they just need to confirm it's done correctly yeah all right so Derek player1 I mean he's already in so I think I don't know if you choose to go first on up and get out of the way as it's sometimes done yep one four six nine strands number okay wow that is fast yep it is fast game like I said the first time I played it it seemed to play very fair and then the rest of them were just outlanes yeah he was trying to make you spend more money on it yeah pretty much I enjoyed playing the game so whenever I had a chance I played it just to waste my ticket all right so louisia she already wants to get she is the point how to at least guarantee yourself to Tiber right she needs second or first to guarantee a win an advancement to the finals they should say 365 of these were produced in total this is a very rare machine and what I think was the provided by the Museum of Ebola one of Jesus machine pretty certain it was Museum of pinball yeah yeah it doesn't have to have a museum helping you yeah we were talking about a warlock before and they asked if there was gyms and gyms like I've been trying to get one for 10 years right yeah I would I would not feel bad if he wasn't here right fun game but like in the tournament yeah I'm not sure all right so right now one of the two spirit lead does it ant in it it does oh yeah it does alternate by switch hips I I believe maybe not maybe pops yeah or maybe one so I want to say I did tap pass on this to get those maybe not because it is uh it's a ballet though right sure what is it so I'd feel comfortable doing that yeah I mean you know I guess it is rare for a reason would be not the best thing of the bestseller all the time yeah and Louise nice to not play always the same games of gonna say yeah so Louise scored a hundred twelve thousand which is quite a good ball one from what I I score that was how did she get it so fast at this manner oh I guess I and some decent bonus I did see a couple you know five hundred thousands of this but for the most part it's rolled back in anything around 250 300 was basically a good game on this the spinner is only ten point was it he's a little racer yeah I think that lady's big yep so she needs that be on the right side so yet Enys aren't any keepin much out of that Yanni did play this a bit I did watch him play they fit Gianni might have been one of the players which did very well on it actually look at speed boom on the fly yep shame it's not lit but goes back up top so what does it mean he needs four degrees of five so it needs a nice the five the 80 sound right you have th out poison 5 C B 5 is the H here the 5 is right there all the distance yeah nice stuff target so we've got genes going up player for it okay so you get me at 95,000 as well as a good core from the two of them now there is an extra ball that gets lit faced off the switches there I've never got to hit it oh I wish being set at $25 and we can play play yeah I mean there wasn't a cord on it so I figured it was available but I wasn't sure that's true I've got the 8 right there for in 16 lids those are apparently lame oh yeah and Jian is down but collects a few numbers so he'll have some some bonus going in the ball to because they stayed lit for the duration of the ball nice yep are they again nicely decorated you need a bit more on that go to yeah he only had 10,000 on ball one now that shot did light that pop thanks one thing I've noticed is no one's getting any love from that be a lot of people have had it up there but I'm not not into it hard enough which feet PAP of a be and yeah to light the spinners yeah only only saw Lewis with the listener yeah so here comes a Lewis perhaps there she is enjoying her tournament time here yeah yeah nothing big on the line just you know qualifying for finals here in five years I haven't seen their area you know he's the husband to this miss me maybe stayed home and Lewis came for the tournament so maybe the TAC team who comes to gets to come and get this day yeah I couldn't wear the right so she's at least a second so what's blinking at the bottom right there the bottom right is the special life she completed the 3x bonus so she will get 3x bonus this ball oh alright that's ABCD is oh I would assume yeah yeah did she know she's getting on better okay so each of those balls are worth 3,000 each or Wow 3x how do you have the numbers oh yeah I would whatever it's always nice when you're in that situation where you just plunged rain and you know you have like 50k waiting for you whatever happened yep so she's a nice good spot like I said about 250,000 seemed to be a pretty solid game on this ball applying and there goes the Outland yep I said this game my first game was nice my other games just seemed the ball like finding its way through the Outlands or down the middle yeah well he had gotten the bonus and not a good fault to like like what you say I mean for the unnie and Gia Nate's they need to win yep you have any chance and then Louise can't take second right so yeah so she's based off of what happens with June and Jane wants us just as much so he's gonna go for it he's got a spinner lit right and he told it monks when he hit that target unfortunately and went straight down I'm not sure why he decided to go for the right sorry so Carl's multitasking and needed his mouse which is why we had that nice flare-up so Derek ball three he's already advanced to the finals he is just enjoying his time here putting some practice up yep finding these key shots I personally don't like this spot when I'm going into the finals and I actually don't need to play this game but I'd want to keep my mindset know what what do you think about this do you just play the same yeah I don't know obviously if the situation is tense and you get more stressed but I'm actually try to be pretty relaxed when I play either way right so I'll feel a bit more relieved sure I'm known for yeah do what you can if it turns you don't feel as bad yeah alright that's the last place for Derek I'm sure he's okay with it yeah he's through so here is Louise wanting to make sure she gets second that's all she wants so she's gonna put up as many points as possible because she's still being trailed by a very close biani right and gene has pulled it out in the past so very skilled classics player that has been our own Corvettes trying to keep keep up but it's doing its job oh yeah it's okay she's got the 3x bonus here huge bonus and Yanni if he wants a chance not only has to surpass her but then needs gene to also surpass her so this is without cussing him yes there's that that he's a seems tricky how does score bit work unfortunately Carl doesn't know we know it gets hooked up into the the motherboard itself like Mike that he's just joining us me may be able to know that everyone now is copic walks Mike I am very interested I don't know a whole lot about it but I know it hooks into the board of the game somehow and is able to upload the scores live and that's how we get that awesome display yep and so Yanni here just actually completed by hitting this target the five sorry did get he's got his eighteen eighteen thousand mega jumbo bonus left so now he could get more bonus and I knew it he just hit sublet out there I heard it yeah you didn't get a tree X and if you didn't catch Dewey's so that's that's it boy honey I mean genes did have a chance to Ono again because the only thing gene is fighting for is for his whopper points at this point in placement to pass Jenny or not I'm sure a little cash possibly right down the middle unfortunately like he was in the yeah alright so good job Derek and Lewis moving on to the top twelve finals I'm sure Kyle's cheering on is a San Diego brother Mike but yes Mike sorry my I'm it I'm mistake you and try all the time I apologize yeah I love watching Derrick play he's gotten so good and it's just awesome I learned so much from watching him play yep and that game of freefall was epic it was right as was the weekend right yeah it was a nice seeing Corey blow up Joker poker yesterday from San Diego and Oh what do we got from San Diego is from Sarah whoever Raymond Davidson was at one point on Joker poker so either he attempted give up or he oh I see Raymond playing the main so Raymond is the currently below the cut line the main qualifying so they decide not to move on to play may or may be I know he is below the cut line so yet six points so maybe I don't know I mean you get a zero in a Derek get a four and let's see pretty much huh I wonder I'm very curious on that so there's a few options there I kind of want to find out I think Kelly's trying to find out first what happened why does the arraignment has one point on these last game if you throw in the game eat eat eat so the top processes heat tilted through it is possible on Joker for sure I have to deal through my own ball my last game of the classic - tonight yep ball to tilt for 13 fun goodbye so are you doing Mike today I'm doing good uh all these games are so fun to play I don't know what you guys but I don't been having a blast I'm happy I'm pretty solidly uh qualified in B division in Maine that's about as high as I'll get whoo but it's just a great time everyone's so nice we did get a confirmation that Raymond Davidson did talk through now that doesn't mean he will be out of the finals but it's very it's up to the numbers now I mean the winner could win and that would be it for Raymond he would move on or if Michael gets third there'd be a tiebreaker if Derek gets first there there's a lot of options here for Raymond to move on still even though Eric took a 222,000 that's a very good score here and then Michael has 144,000 so if they Arctic the wind at seven point and Michael maybe second that would be seven as well and knocking Raymond out so it's all up to what with us yeah the wheels bigger - so what are we gaining a camera and Joker poker I am Not sure and then there's the issue with the tilt through so that auscultation ball on player on ball one so the worst thing that happened would have happened is if Raymond Davidson tilts it through is going to I would guess wills ball - that's why we doesn't have score yet because you must be waiting for his complication Bowl and it's only gonna be on ball one which is the town depend they could we create state of the ball if there's a major change in right so you can like if you if you get a tooth through on your board free and dry Calchas with your miss multiball they could move your ball up to ball three now if you put that ball three okay it's up to the TD to decide if they ya want to move the ball along in case of a severe impact and I don't know how many points will has but I think if remand cares are all at these points it would want will to at least pass Michael do we have a result there Oh 106,000 four-wheel Wow Raymond get knocked out with six points it's seven seven six mile Wow Wow that's Derek and Mike Derek Thompson and Michael Madsen will interface Louise and Derek price in the top of funnel that's an interesting top four I'm not sure nobody from yesterday yeah they'll be in the top four that's classic for you you know it has a way to shake things up chop through can change everything yeah that's rough
