We're in here. Dead even right now. Ah, Mark gets it. Oh! Oh! Oh! That was so close. Don't let it slip in. I see it. Where? What? Is it a left cough? It's a left cough. It's a left cough last year. Oh, incredible. Saved his tournament life right here on ball three. Oh, he got it. He got it. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. so are you gonna reset it or i'll go to the game because we're not we're not on we're gonna spend another hour Godzilla. All right. Keith chose Godzilla. Maybe he didn't choose it that last round. Maybe somebody else would like to play it. Or who was player? No, he was player one, but because he had eight points, he probably chose to go first. So he hadn't chosen it yet. And so, you know, you kind of don't want to give Keith a warm-up game on probably anything. It's got to be one of his three best playing. I'm going to jinx him. But, like, he's the most comfortable on Godzilla. I don't think I've ever – all right, I'm going to jinx him. I've never seen him not save New York in a game of Godzilla in a tournament, like ever. But didn't he not save New York last time? Zac Stark saved New York. Okay. And there, he just drained. But it'd be awesome if, like, 35 million wins this one. You know, nobody gets anything going. All right, here's Dave Stewart. He had a long cool-down period from his round ended a long time ago. And so this is very much, you know, oh, that is really unfortunate. Just like fast, fast drain there. And something about design in Sega, those outlaying the slings are just, the angle of them and you see a lot of sling drains on this game. A lot. I struggle with just, I also struggle with invisibility. I don't like games that occlude my view especially of my in lane, out lane division. Yeah, having both ramp returns be right at the point of where it gets interesting, that's an excellent point, Ian. I was actually commenting on that because we had ACDC in the women's bank and that's one of those games where that's problematic. So he managed to get his ball, had the ball safe. We're still live. Kaylee we saw just play this game. Pretty confident he'll be going. Oh, he's going to go ramp. Feeling good-ish about repeating that ramp. Missed it twice and so decided to go orbit. but she last game he was seeming much more comfortable with the orbit shot yeah and of course it's a bit of a chess match ball one you uh you kind of set up what you can ball two is when you kind of really decide what am i going in at him one multiball am i going to try and get it up to two or go for the big the big home run three four five now can you guys remind me the order of that right orbit your first ones your spot sonar but then what the the awards on the Godzilla ramp no one the baby yeah I think it's there's three things you got to do and each time you got to hit one extra one yeah I think there's a mystery and a super pops there as well as there are Godzilla it's funny because you're so uninterested in everything else that it's like don't even bother you could just like put put uh electrical tape over it because it's it's not really relevant but the luckily the giant hand blocks the view of it from the camera from the player's view you can see it i believe that's a claw not a hand oh sorry technically talon they're birds well said Not to be cute. So I found a photo on IPDB. The second one is mystery. Then you write super pops. Then two other things. Like Baby Godzilla and I don't know. Here we go. Jason is making good progress on his Godzilla ramp to light the Godzilla multiball. One more for Mystery, which is completely irrelevant. Jason and Dave Stewart, did they play this in their three games? I saw them play Jackpot, Argosy, and Paragon. So maybe it can be an advantage just because of fatigue. You have the other guys, but it can be a disadvantage obviously because they haven't had gotten a feel for the game But I feel like Keith and Kaylee have too much of a feel for it All right, I made it around so Godzilla multiball is ready So but it's ball one. So there's you don't want to start it here. You want to left orbit? Yeah. Baby Zilla is where it's at. Because it's the only repeatable one. Score does matter. Is that like if you repeat that, it goes up? I think so. But again, thoroughly uninterested in discovering. Three more for Baby Godzilla. here's a key for telling us light extras after light baby but you have to collect it yeah it it always feels like you have to shoot the left orbit more than you would think to get that multiball ready especially when you need it on ball three and such yeah there's a still it's okay progress it is for ball one so uh it'll be interesting to see if anyone goes in on ball two or whether we with the ball saver whether everybody holds off until ball three or wants to see who who puts in the first score this is game one of the finals of the high stakes pinball tournament here at uh in disc 2019 in uh lovely banning california he's gonna say colorado yeah uh california we're about a uh what about an hour east of uh the greater los angeles area uh or five hours depending on the time of day fair enough uh how how you guys get here we're uh palm springs palm's great you can fly directly into palm springs nice we uh we flew into ontario so we get to we get to drive back tomorrow but us both being from ontario it is very confusing to have an airport called oh yes Yes, my stepmother thought when she heard Ontario, was thinking it was a Canadian tournament. Couldn't understand why I wasn't going to go see the sights. I was like, in Ontario? They have an airport. So I don't know why that's called Ontario Gallop. Who got it first? Do we know? What does Ontario mean? Is it an Indian word? It is. I'm trying to remember the Canadian Heritage Minute that tells me what it means. So can someone in chat pull up Wikipedia and look to see who the origin of Ontario and why there's an Ontario in California as well? Is that – he's got one multiball lit, but he's only got one ball to go. So we'll see if he pulls the trigger or tries to bring baby in like, you know, Ian, you like to do. Well, it's hard to like, hey, I'm taking points on ball three. Interesting. So apparently it's thought to be derived from a Huron word meaning Great Lake. So I don't know why you have a... Desert? Table, table, table, mesa, Huron, Lake Huron of the Great Lakes is actually Great, Great Lake. Well, Lake Ontario of the Great Lakes would be Great, Great Lake. Oh, no. No ball safe, yep. We're starting to see a bit of fatigue set in now. This is one of those, like, it's tough to sit around waiting for the other group to finish. And also in this game, like, if you have a bad ball, you might not get to step up again for 45 minutes. If somebody else does the thing before you get a chance to play again. Kaley likes what he sees, I think, because those two guys are both in jail a little bit. So if he can just get too lit. At least this is only the first game. Kaylee's the only one. He really likes that on the clean shot to Babyzilla, he does the lane pass back to a trap and then settles again. Yeah. Because he never likes to shoot the ball on the fly if he has to. He's much happier doing that right there. This is great left-right work progressing his multi-balls. Uh-oh. That's a super pop award. Next one will be the light baby. That's 23, 2, 3. It's looking to be about 100,000 super pops. Nice. Solid. Yeah. You definitely want that stacked with your multiball. Oh, yeah. Just like super slings and Iron Maiden. All right. Three more for baby. so three more lane passes over. Now he's post-passing because he's already lit the ball. His job, the left flipper is dead to him now other than as a receiver of the babyzilla shots. Lovely tip. He's got a good feel for the flippers now. Boom. So a little, gee, lane pass over to a trap. Oh, look at that. Look at that. Fatigue. Yeah. I don't know. don't know what was going on there but uh 50k a pop keeper says after you save new york is at 100k a pop then can you double the pop value of super pops like you can double the jackpot the ice score score balancing wasn't the highest priority back in the day no and we've been doing this for 12 hours so I apologize to the people watching this stream later who came to watch the final and realized that we are being very silly oh this is only mildly silly for me it's going to get really silly if this thing goes to a tiebreaker later on but yeah it's a good point Ian this is the never drains in Southern California 2019 the main tournament concluded a couple hours ago. Colin Urban from Oregon won the tournament on the last game in a great match. Jim Belcedo took second. Dominic Kasich was fourth or third. Who finished third, fourth? We had Adam McKinney were the final four. I don't. I'll look it up, but I want to say Adam was third. You know what, Adam McKinney got third because he had a wonderful game, game one on Cheetah, two point something million. Yep. And so, yes. And so Dominic was fourth, but played excellent all day long. That was the main tournament in the women's. Louise Wagonsoner won. And do we know who second, third, and fourth on the women's? I feel like Kelliana Walter-Higgins got fourth because Jim gave me her. No? Oh, no, she got it in B. actually i have a plaque for her is the reason i know that um that's right she didn't qualify in the women's it's a carrie leslie yeah carrie came in second right uh leslie came in third and then jasmine came in fourth oh good work from from yes that's uh kaylee's better half now i'm sorry is it jasmine versus jasmine uh i think i believe jasmine is the pronunciation from if you're, you know, in a hashish bar in Amsterdam. But Jasmine works, too, I think, here now that she's in America. America. We've got nine million jackpots. Oh, you know, Jason likes this position right here. Oh, he's little. He gets it back. So Jason's going all in first. And, frankly, with everyone else's progress, I like his chances. And I won't call you Frank anymore. Still got three balls in play. This is exactly what he wants to be doing. He just loves having it right here. Boom. Yep. This is where you want to be and make that babyzilla shot. Just, you can do it a thousand times. You can almost get to a billion points. Huh. Went the, everyone out of the pool. Well, out of the, out of the kiddie pool because they were safe. but he's back in it nice all right time to uh repeat that wash and rinse well getting a little so i mean there's gonna be uh everyone's been playing a lot of pinball over the last three days and pinball is really the slightest oh he starts his next one so now he's up to 10 million a shot oh 13 what uh so he's did he start two two maybe it goes up by two yeah let's uh start one of the nuances yeah that's some pretty cool nuance there so he's up to 200 million now and uh what's the last one he needs there the penultimate there's uh yeah sonar yeah it's usually his one sonar that's not bad say that because it can oh but yeah you definitely want to get it now before you lose the stack otherwise you have to start over with a single multi yeah now they're down to two balls you can backhand it generally from a trap but he's just yeah what or hit or baby zillas until all he was going for it on the left yeah so i think these felt like if if he can repeatedly yeah shoot the baby godzilla might as well but as soon as it goes out of control he makes a shot at and no grace period no no always lots to survive but he's only ball two here so and spot sonar is the award that's back he's going for it you know it's ball two i go back to baby zilla i'm not interested in that sonar target it'll come no no it comes from the left orbit oh you get one of them so see that's why i should take the tape off my uh But, yeah, now Sonar's lit with that one shot. And he will. Yeah, Sonar ready to go, and then he'll have save New York in ball three. It's a comfortable position to be in with a solid score of 300. Without a ball save, it would be slightly less comfortable. but as we saw we've seen a few germain missed his shot uh fred richardson also missed uh one of those lock shots but he's got a solid score he doesn't and he has done this game one so uh if he takes last here he can claim bad beat all right so here's keith ball three let's see is he just gonna go get or is he gonna now that he's seeing jason score is he gonna try and survive baby Zilla before he starts. There it is. I think he's decided that he needs some points. Just do this slow and steady. He's got taxi. Hasn't really hit any taxis yet. That kind of comes on its own. He's actively hit the sonars. Sonars in. Alright. So another million. And there's the Godzilla. Progress. Taxis. Was that taxi then? Because no, not yet. Looks like he's got three more targets for the taxi part. He's in the Super L one. Oh, now he's out. Oh, careful, careful. Man, he just gets into that. So much. Nope, back into the shooter lane. Which actually is not. Oh, that was a nice Newton hop over there. A little fatigue. He missed his. Let's see if he gets back to it. I like his chances. Shoot Godzilla's. Shoot hard jackpot. take a sonar jack if he wins wins a point by six billion we'll remember that one all right right there the snow this is a great if you do really really gently oh it broke down because sometimes you can get one to just transfer nicely oh a nice little sling transfer struggling a bit on that ramp shot right now oh oh for three oh he gets it back over four he's taking a little breather Oh remember that bag that magnet just did that so he's down to two taxi letters he's taking a backhand taxi here he's ready to yeah yeah one one taxi letter to to bring in the next one. So you gonna save that for later on? Nope, there it is. All right, so we bust out. So here we go. Keith is, got helicopter in now too. uh so what's what are we missing uh just godzilla just uh baby baby actually which is of course that's the one you really want first but he's happy and there's baby all righty so 16 million jackpots yep because he even just starting with one so maybe everyone's been doing it wrong all this time maybe uh maybe it's fine to just start one and just bring them all in. I mean, it's 16 versus 25. It's safer to start with one. Yeah. He did it just, you know, surgically. But is he down to two now? Kind of would like to cash in some of these 16 million point shots, I think. And those are the ones you want to be doing. So do you know what the sequence on the magnet catching is? Every other one, maybe. Or is it continue the same? The same like one and then two. Oh, and he doesn't get an in lane there. Save New York. And, of course, this is ball three, so it's kind of a big shot. He has now passed Jason. Oh, he missed. Oh. And he parked it back on the alley pass, which is a wonderful place to park the ball when you're in danger, but a lot of people don't think to do that. That's lovely. And, oh, did it register? It did register. He has not hit my Godzilla ramp. He keeps missing baby zeal is with. Oh. See how I can is a nope. Yep 2. Three no alright time to time to cradle up three oh oh oh alright there's one. He just needs all right. He's got that one three more shots. So if he's not injured, that ramps just not fit and working for him. So he's going to do this baby Zilloway. Uh-oh. No. Wow, man. Keith has killed New York twice. Like he hasn't saved it a single time. And we start over. 459, 460 for not saving New York. That's some pretty efficient non-New York saving. weird air balling going on there so uh remind me jason has saved new york lit he has one multiball to go and then it will be lit sonar lit all right so uh so that right there is when you have nothing going that's how you put it together on godzilla Dave has no multi-balls lit. He has no taxi progress. It looks like one ramp. Yeah, he's a long way. Oh, he went for the super skill. He just doesn't look very comfortable here. Alright. See if he can make a left ramp. Alright. two sonar hits away not that you will go for them but it's to me it's always left ramp baby zeal is in the right ramp like those are your two primary shots and and then having watched kaylee get back to a trap after a a good shot each time it uh was that the spinner reject or He kind of shot back There you go nice ramp On the fly He uh yep Oh. Careful. Careful. Slings. Oh, that one wanted to go out but didn't. Oh, no, that one did go out. Yeah, two misses in a row are going to do that. So Dave is going to take last, or maybe not. Where's, uh, where's Kaylee at? I don't remember. It's been a while. Yeah, this is ball three. Dave took last. Okay. It's game one, so he's not out of it, but it's a tough start here in the finals. All right. So Kelly has Godzilla multiple and a point in hand. But he's got a lot of work to get the next point. We saw him do it last game. Now, if he hits that right ramp, he collects, what, 5 million and is his multiball still qualified? Yep. Okay. I don't know why it's there, but it has nothing to... Oh, wow, that was... That could have been dangerous. He's thinking about it. I don't like his chances here. It's looking a little squirrely. But if that was a reliable shot would there be any value in just grinding that out? Did you just get a 1.5 million and that's it? I'm not sure It's a pretty tough shot and especially when everyone's been playing this long the flippers really do start to get a bit soggy like that had some momentum behind it but I don't think it's Oh, that was nice Okay, here we go again It's really nice how like that rolling tip will put the ball in a beautiful place so many times. You don't even have to, like, think about dropping the flipper to get there. It's a nice feeling. And that rolling tip is another one of your probably not original primary skills, but so important when you're trying to really take the next level up. The ustemeyer, the little flick to keep the ball on the flipper, is another great maneuver. best used when your other flipper is cradled already and you don't really, you just want to be stopped on that flipper. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Is he out? He is out. Alright, so he's in a little bit of jail. One sonar hit to light sonar. Yep. Nothing else. I think Baby's in. Baby, he's on the baby target, I think, or the insert. So I think it'll be a... There it is. Oh, that was a wicked bad feed. Does he survive? Yes, he does. Right into baby. Wow, that was easily a 50-50 ball there out of the pops like that. So he's got one sonar hit to bring that in. And probably quite a few helicopters. I didn't look down low on his helicopter progress. He had some out-of-control plays. So he's got two so far. He needs four more. Three more. Three or four. Has he done taxi? Probably not taxi either, so. No, taxi's lit. So he's done that. Oh, okay. Never mind. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. All right. So one sonar. Is he going to take the jackpot or take the sonar? Probably try. Oh, he's progressing towards Godzilla to raise the. Oh, he just got his helicopter. Oh, nice. There's one sonar shot away. And is he in baby Zilla as well now? He's in baby. That's what he started this with. Yeah. Okay. But he can't get the advanced sonar on baby there. No, but he'll get it when he exits. Yeah. But he doesn't really want to have to go through another multiball. Uh-oh. He can. Oh, nice. Is he going to just shoot for it? He is. He's going right for it. Oh, well. Tried to save it. I don't like that. Yeah. No. Because it would have kept all of his progress. No, there's no grace. There is no grace, though. But, no, there's grace while the ball settles in the trough. Until it hits that switch, yeah. But I, you know what, I agree with you. and right there. Spot sonar. Especially Kaylee. And maybe it's a fatigue late night kind of get on with it thing. Yeah. This is only game one. And I've been sitting in the booth all day and he's been playing. But at the same time, the next two games are going to go quicker. Yes. I say hopefully other than if there's like the greatest game of jackpot ever maybe that could be played. All right. So Jason has two points in hand. and he just has to pass keith and what does he got he's got one multiball ready and saved new york ready after that so oh he wanted it during you really want it during ball save you don't want to all right he's gonna think about it target is 477 i don't know oh my goodness no no yes from there. He really was hoping for a ball save. Taking a look there. You know, that ball save was on for quite a while, as he just thought about. And he missed that lock shot or the start multiball shot pretty late. There's a fair amount of fatigue setting in now. He'll still get two points, though. Yep. And save us all another 15 minutes of our lives we get back now from not having to watch another Save New York. So how many Save New Yorks did we have so far? Keith missed two. Kaylee did one. And somebody else started one in the other group. Yeah, someone else. So I feel like, yeah, three and a half was a good. We've had four of them. All right. I've been doing this for 12 hours. I'm going to step out and let Fred Richardson come in here. Give a big hand to Ian. I had a good time. In the chat room, you guys all give Ian. Everyone owes Ian a beer. Yeah, I don't drink, but that's okay. You can give me a beer. Everyone owes Ian a soda beverage of his choice. So we've got Fred Richardson coming in from the trenches. He was in there. He was in there fighting for this high stakes. Hey, Fred, welcome. I just need some catharsis. after that awesome game of Godzilla. That was a lot of fun to watch if you were a spectator. And it was a bad beat on your part because it looked like you had at least the tiebreaker in hand at one point. And especially when Keith Elwin is your co-pilot. That's right. Setting a pretty high bar there. What's funny is I went up to him before that game and I said, Keith, I'm actually really cool with you winning this because it was 3-2-1. Yeah, yeah. That's your co-pilot. But, you know, it's my own fault because I had New York lit and I didn't get it. You did not. And Kaylee was tremendous. All right, here we are. Game two. So Keith won game one, and so everyone else has to be on alert because he can smell the victory. Smell blood in the water. On the jackpot, too. We saw him put up three or four bills last game without playing third ball. So let's see. This jackpot seems pretty fair. That scoop right there, the left eye seems to have been rejected lately. The eyes are okay. It's the kick-out coming from the kick-out out of the scoop is brutal. Lately it's been okay, but, yeah. So Fred Richardson, Punky Fresh in the booth with Adam Lefkoff and Megan Sprague. So let's not let the guys, like, run you over, okay? I'll try to get a couple words in. Word. yeah we played this uh right before godzilla and uh yeah we three two something two something so it's playable for sure it's fast but it wore in a little bit uh with with a bunch of the uh um people putting their entries in after we're into the second 12 hour session here so yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna make a i'm gonna make an executive call here and we're not gonna go over the rules again okay if you have it if you don't know the rules to jackpot yet today um go give uh Keith P. Johnson a call there you go sure you ought to get a 1-800 or 1-900 number you know five on one minute and ask him look at that keith oh my god that was lovely wow great safe uh but basically there's two things to do you got your multi balls and you got your casino run and uh keith is I wish we had insert replay working Yeah So Keith That was a double danger He's going to go for his casino run now That his visor is locked out Great save Nice to have the center post in there Obviously Did you backhand under the center ramp here Fred? You know what I did not shoot for that Because I kept getting my doubles Up in lock holes Starting multi balls Yeah it was weird Okay well Keith went with the post pass there. So you probably can do it, but he's happy with the forehand as well. That's right. So he's got a lot of work to go on that visor. Well, and he's playing with two dangers. Yes, he is. You know, sometimes our good friend Donovan Stepp, when he gets two dangers, he'll shoot for the most dangerous thing in the game at that point. Right. Smart. Nothing to lose at that point. Yep. Go ahead and go for your taxi letters or your sonar. Do you agree with that, Megan? I do. Good. Those are my two words. Yes, good. Double danger. Dave Stewart, stepping up, player two. Dave took a zero on game one, so he really needs first or second to keep in touch with the lead group here. And Jason's last game on here, he took second on Godzilla. his last game on jackpot he uh popped like a four and a half uh so i know and and won that in his group so i know he's feeling good about that did you talk at all about the uh we watched that game so the secret oh well then everyone knows talk about which secret uh the just the button yeah the cheating and the yeah oh dave too much too much uh that was a great save but uh way way too much. Dave needs to back off a little on that little heavy handed. You know, we did talk about the cheating, but I wasn't in the booth when we talked about how you actually do cheat. So, you mean you hit the button that's underneath the plunger. Which button, Fred? What is it? I don't even know what that button is. It's a cheat button. Extra ball, add extra ball, buy a ball. I guess. Do they still have those? Whatever it is, it's a cheat button. That's all I know. Just trying to maybe educate some of the folks who aren't so familiar with that. Oh, man, are you kidding me? On a third night of competition? You guys are lucky we're not drunk. However, it works on your modes. It works on your bonus. It works on your match. Just about everything on the game. In tourney mode, it only works every fourth time. Okay, from the boss. The boss says it's the extra ball buy-in. Yeah. I think I said that, too. For once. Yeah. And this is the last competition. What a weekend we have had out here. My goodness. If you did not come to this tournament, you really, really need to give a strong consideration about coming out here. This is one of the toughest tournaments of the year. Great field. Great location. Wonderful location. Incredible staff, incredible games, everything. It's all top notch. It's the best tournament of the year. Not in Pittsburgh, I say. Yeah. Well, you know, the competition, like, it's strange. It seems like the West Coast a lot of times we don't get a lot of those players that travel to the Midwest or to the East Coast for some events, and there's so many talented players. That was a tough train because that looked like it was coming down the return lane. Correct. But, yeah, you get the Cali folks and Washington and Oregon, everybody coming down. It's a powerhouse. I mean, we had almost 300 competitors here this weekend. We counted up world championships and lost count of about 20 for the numbers represented by the various champion caliber players. And we still missed a few Bay Area guys. Oh, yeah. And plenty of East Coasters, of course. Yes. So, yeah, find a way to come out here. It's awesome. it's just awesome great event uh jim and carl are the and bob two of the top notch and bob um tournament directors that we've got on the circuit so they do things right they set up their games right they make good calls good rulings and make sure everything keeps flowing so um anyway enough of the pats on the back well and and i mean there was a women's tournament there was a kids tournament there were two different classic tournaments there was a main tournament with an a and b division And a high stakes. And a high stakes. And you know what else? I mean, not to be material here, but I am a material girl. The payouts were absolutely incredible. Well, when you have 240 people trying in Maine. First place in women's, $900. First place in high stakes tonight, $1,750. First place in Maine, $2,000. And that's because Maine paid out top 24 players. So, sorry, I feel like we're doing Jason injustice here by not talking about him. It's only ball one. We'll get interested in as his. Ball three? Sure. Oh, see, that was. See, that was Kaylee's. It was. Yeah, but Kaylee shook it. And Jason just let it settle. I think Jason has two double danger. Like, he has a double danger. Oh, maybe that's why he didn't shake it. And it worked for him. There you go, kids. Don't shake the game. now jason picked keno first i don't think he meant to do that no he did not that was probably an accident so there was a ball locked in the left hand side from a previous player so he had to lock it in the right kicked out left now he's got his two ball multiball and uh one two three four five jackpot shots on here but what you want to do is get two of them up in the eyeballs at nearly the same time for the supers. We saw quite a few supers in the last round from Jason and Kaylee and Keith and even yourself. Well, and no, that's actually what hurt me. That's why I took third was because I got no supers. Oh, okay. I might have gotten one. Look at rubber on the in lane there. Isn't that nice? Nice chill there. Okay. Testing a post with the rubber on it. Is that what it is? Jason I thought was going to open the visor on one shot I thought that's what it was too but now he's got 24 more to go oh wait no it hasn't it didn't close on him or I don't know that was weird yeah it was really weird obviously he would have had to hit a jackpot we're all shaking our heads here he didn't get his restart that was strange someone giving birth in the background everyone's returning to their uh scene of the crimes on the main bank yeah i know playing them it's great isn't it i'm gonna be playing safecracker when you're on a card of course it's a 20 card so when you have one bad game one bad ball even yeah that that card sticks away yeah so it's uh it's pretty it's hard we were talking earlier it's hard to simulate that like to practice that kind of pressure uh other than to get out and do it yeah well like you said you know some of these games just don't sit well with you and you want to leave the building with a little bit of redemption oh i like to let it stew for years and years and then dredge it up that's just me though megan what game are are you most bitter about from this weekend what do you think about bad beat you had um well my godzilla score for high stakes i i played it because i know the game yep and uh so i thought i i could put up at least a half decent score and no i did not but it's okay because my my entire goal for high stakes is not to finish last and i succeeded in that outstanding yeah do you know how you finished uh yes i do probably like ninth or something, wasn't it? Oh, yeah, yeah. I was just shy qualifying. All right. Jason's almost got his card filled here. Yeah, that's multiball the hard way. Yeah, it is. But you like to do it on ball one. Like ball three, it never happens. Let's see. And there's a little ball save, so I like the chances of definitely getting back to at least one more multiball here. One more shot on the corner. I think he should go up into a scoop, though, before he gets started. Sort of. I mean, he's player four, so he might want to wait on casino run here. I think multiball is where to go. Keep that in your back pocket. Just to see other people will probably take casino run on ball two if they can. Okay. He's going to. Wait, did he just shoot that from the left flipper? No, that was from the right. Okay. Looks like he's going to do it. Why not? All right. Sure. Take what you can get while you can get it. So we've seen only Raymond had a really bad casino run, like unlucky bomb without any no bomb. Oh, really? But specials aren't worth anything. Zero. So I think he's going to risk it. Probably going to risk that one. Oh, that was a funny little path. Oh, lovely. That's the Jason. He has this really nice flutter to get control of the ball. It's really nice. Oh, all right. So, cash out or not? Well. Go one more. You can go one more. And then you better cash out. We were treading on some thin ice there. What happened was Jason had a bomb. He used his little secret there. He cashed out. He cashed out. So, that's smart. Oh, he did. Okay. No, that's smart. Take the points and run. Absolutely. So, he just has to survive one more visor target. Yeah, that's pretty remarkable that he's still playing and getting that visor back down. Can he do that, or is he going to hit a ramp? No, he should backhand that visor on ball one. Oh, okay. No, he's got to actually light the saucer. So, there he goes. That was ugly, but it worked. But it actually worked for him because it got him to open his visor. Yep. Wow. Just sing-sang-zoom. Jason getting some very fortunate rolls here because this game will. Look at the look on his face. Like he's in a library just doing some research. Have you seen the – Trying to, yeah, look to the creation of Ottawa, like, and where it came from and what the meaning of it is. We already looked it up. Did we? Okay. It's great. Let's go ahead and have another multiball here. Is he going to go for his visor multiball? His jackpot on the skill shot looks like a no. I say chicken poop. Go for the jackpot? Oh, of course. No, do the KLE. Three switch the first two. Nope, because that's what happens. The spring on that plunger, just so you guys know, I don't know the numbers, but it would be like a five if that's really hard. If it broke, somebody would lose an eye. Yeah, it would probably shatter the glass to escape. And everyone would blame you, but you're like, I didn't lose a knee. Oh, stop it. You know how many glass I've ever broken in my life? At least one. And you were there. It is one. Oh, look at that. We call that juggling. Yes. With the rubber on the center post. That's right. That was some. Nifty. Yeah. Love to see that in slow motion. Whoops. Uh-oh. Is he going to get it back? Nope. That's the first outlay he's had in a while. So he has six to go. Is he still playing with a double danger the whole time? No, no, no. That was. I think it's this ball, too. no that was the last okay no this is ball one it's still ball one he's four yeah and he's got like mr soft fingers max bonus so if you're at hey keeper if you're at 5x can you cheat it to 6x in theory oh i doubt that come on tell me yes that would be awesome oh nice first ball jason peter well done is that his middle name jp nice that's what i say when i'm mad at him three uh 3.2 bills is a good uh opening volley especially when everyone else uh did not don't sit on your you can cheat to six acts don't don't don't good job keifer wow i i had faith in you well done it seemed like it should and whenever whenever you think of a rule that like it should work that way it's usually not there no it usually is there for oh a keifer rule is all for yeah of course yeah he's got so many nuggets in like world poker tour i was gonna ask if you've been to chicago has either of you seen uh keith b johnson in person lately because I'm wondering whether he might have been digitized like a la Tron just in the pinball chats to just help us with all of the rule knowledge that we lack I believe he's in a JJP dungeon at the moment chained to his desk we got to play some what's that new JJP Pirates there you go it's my first time on it fun game not so much with lightning flippers Oh, we've got to thank Carl for that. He went to town on that game. Let me tell you what. Cranked everything up to hard. Put some lightning flippers on there. Big rubbers. Get this. So he took the rubber off the right exit lane on the inside, which can knock it into the shooter lane. But he left the one on the other side that knocks it down the drain. Thank you very much. That doesn't seem fair. All right. Keith going for the casino run Let see his luck I got to tell you I did the same thing when I had a JJP Pirates in tournament recently Really Yeah, I'm not nice. Oh. I played my very first game on it today. There you go, Keith. I had no idea what I was doing. But it worked out. Alright, so rules we've learned today, stay out of Ottawa. Just kidding. Alright, what's he gonna get? He got a no-bomb his first spin, so that's kind of like what I had. Gives him an extra. Yeah. Then you're not messing with the button at all. Just let it do its magic. Oh. Oh. That was pretty nice. A little 225. There we go. He's up to 530 with his no-bomb. Yep. Plenty of time. Plenty of time. 36 seconds. You know what? It's like the pinball gods are like, let's all go to bed. Let's just give Keith a two-billion casino run. Look at that. He has another hundy. That's another half-D. You know, he was back here watching other players before, and every time they were going, he's like, keep going, keep going. Jason had one of the 11 seconds. I know. We were like, he's catching that up. Keep going. Only Christian will do that. Christian kept going with one second left and got another, like, 200 million. It was incredible. Huge, and I love him. There's his bomb. Watch that. He's going to cash out right now. Nope. cash it collect one more ah there you go well played yeah we're this is high stakes if this were low stakes he would have probably spun it one more but for high stakes i think you cash out is that what it is and uh he's got two lights left to uh to bring to open up his card and get the visor down or he could go back to casino run he seems pretty comfortable there he hit the ramp so many options let's see what he does is he going back the casino run i'll bet yeah yep keno second keno is punch it yeah there it is there it is double homage for 250 yeah now he'll be going oh look at that kick out told you oh my goodness it's not consistent and that's really the drag on that that's a great shot there that was excellent and nice nudge there to oh not that time it's okay yep he finishes up with just over two uh and who uh where's jason at jason's at jason sitting at 3.2 so uh even if keith is unable to catch jason on ball three they have a chance to six six yeah uh nearly one wanted or nearly uh has one out yeah 6-6-2-0 or 6-6-1-1. It becomes a two-player playoff, basically, at that point. And seeing that Jason is my roommate, I'm saying, we're going to the casino. They have casinos in Banning? There's a casino right across the street, man. In Banning? Right down the road. What can you bet on? Yeah, man. He gets that back, right? Right? He gets that back? Yeah. Lobster and steak? Nom, nom, nom. dave stewart one of the probably oldest friends i have in here really go way back first tournament ifpa 92 i actually met him before jim i don't know jim ungodly long who uh who else was at that uh 92 yeah rick stetta dave heggie lyman sheets uh jason werger yeah the kid the kid although we didn't really hang out until arizona a couple months after that the pinball show that was the uh wasn't that twilight rock fantasy or different not two nope there are two shows out there and one of them's pinball show wow uh wouldn't wouldn't like young will mckinney already in the scene back then uh i don't know he was uh he was in juniors with sharps he had to tell far back now of course bob has stories about the 70s playing in the in the uh in the the playboy mansion and you know for the car and all right let's uh how he needs the right lock yeah and he's got uh he's got a scoop lit for uh some goodies see i would con and then yeah It's funny. I was about to say the same thing that once over get in there every time Oh, go on Dave Stewart live catches. I would have dead bounce and every time he dead bounces I would have life caught so yeah, it's like I'm on a different wavelength with them. But hey you you go with what works All right 14 14 to the mega visor nice little oosta Meyer there He's no way for that to come down trying to do the un doble on the yeah. Yeah Need a little And he gave up a danger to... All right. Settle it down. Well, no, no, no. Oh, yeah, he already got one. So, yeah. Might as well take the next one. Yep. All right. So, he'll have 13 to go on the next multiball. So, now you want to park the ball somewhere safe. You don't want to... Oh, it's hard to... Yeah. That's one of the hardest saves there is. Yep. That drain bow. And you know that bad things are... Especially when you're already out in danger. with zero points dave stewart's in a real tight bind now with one ball to go kaylee with uh come back here with one point is in a tight strike as well at least he has two balls in hand here uh but uh never count that guy out no don't pay that price all right so he's uh you know you can uh oh he's just trying to lock for multiball here so yep here we go the chat room saying score a bit maybe drunk but the scores look all right to me oh they're talking about uh score with the software well no but they're on the screen i thought it was off it's been off a couple of times has it yeah you know this whole tournament's been off a couple times but thank goodness we're here now we're in a good place i feel good is it still sunday uh for a little bit couple hours colorado anybody on the east coast online love to hear from you if you're in the east coast time zone give a shout out we had some uh fins watching uh classics and we had quite the the contingent from finland we sure did with ollie and and uh Ari and Ari and Yanni. And who's the fourth one? It's like Finnish Beatles. Scooby. Yeah. Honestly, all great guys again. They are. They're always at a smile on their face. Yeah. And really helped us in the high stakes. Pumping up that payout a little bit. A little donation. Yo, yo, East Coast. My body's on East Coast time. Does that count? So what time have you been getting? I've been getting them at 6 a.m. every day since we got out here. Oh, look at that. It's bizarre. Oh, my goodness. Oh, the hard save. He didn't survive the kick out because he had to slap save it. Yeah. That kick out's wicked. And inconsistent. And inconsistently wicked. So. Well, he overtook Dave at least. Yeah, but Dave and Kaylee are mired at zero and one point. Yeah. So, Keith, it could become a two-person game of Paragon or – Or Barracora. It's going to be arrrrg. You think – I kind of wanted to play that so bad nobody would pick it. No. We'll qualify better and then you can pick it. Thank you, East Coast. Glad to hear from you all. Thanks for everyone for watching and following this late at night. Again, you know what? Just come out here next year. Yeah, that way we won't have to do this because then everyone will be here. That's right. Well, and they're doing the Classic Circuit next year too. Oh, yeah, Bob Matthews is starting it off. This was the inaugural event for the Classic Circuit. He's going to take the average of the two nights. But at all the circuit events, if they have a Classics event, that will go towards qualification just like regular Stern Pro Circuit. Really? Yeah, the finals will be on Thursday of this tournament next year. Next year. So it's just sort of like when Papa extended to their Thursday. So that lets everybody know that InDisc is now going to expand to four days next year. Yep. You're going to have to come out on Wednesday and get the stadium seats for. And go to the Price is Right. Okay, Jason just trained there on the out lane right. He's going to be disappointed. But, I mean, he's kind of in jail there. Yeah. Didn't have a whole lot to do. So, all right. So Keith wants to put some distance, especially with how quickly Super Jackpots will get you back into it. Well, he wants to pass Jason and finish this thing. Yeah, that's right. That's true. Put this win away. So that's all he's got him for. I think he's got the one. He's got a one hit on his visor available. He's open. Oh, it's open. It's open. Oh, OK. Well, it looks like he needs a left side. There's a ball on the right. Is that his or a previous player? Who knows? All right. We'll find out. Nice shot. Let's see if it kicks out. That's one. So it's going to kick out of the right. See, those eye kickouts aren't bad. They're not too bad. But it's made up for it. Oh, he got it back because sometimes you never see that one again. That's right. All right. So this is the big one. It's three balls. Yes. This is where you want to, Keith would like to get into the L1 and pick off some super jackpots and get to that mega visor. And I see he's trying the three switch trick. I expect him to, oh, we're not going to see it. He blew his three switches. He couldn't do the thing with the thing. Here we go. Here we go. Boom, boom. Let's see it. 600 million. Cross or straight up? Oh, he went cross. I couldn't tell, actually. Yeah. Backhand? No, he's a forehand guy. Yeah. Oh, he got it. So he's crossing. Oh, and there's no flick on the jackpot. Oh, and you know what? He shouldn't have taken that because he didn't hit any. Because now he wants his restart. Oh, Keith. So that was as bad as it could have gone right there. I'm surprised he's not a backhand. I was going to say, that's a little amateur backhand. Yeah. What about you, Megan? Are you backhand or are you forehand on those? Have you got two balls in the cradle on each side? and you want to hit the eyes for the left flipper, are you going in the left hole or the right one? I tend to go forehand, actually. Okay, so you're crossing them. I'm backhanding. I'm backhanding. Oh, yeah. But I notice he also forehanded on the lock shot as well. You know what, though? It depends on the setup and what I'm able to hit that game. Sure. Like all the just on the fly. Yeah. If you look, there's a slight curve on entrance. Okay. The angle, the spin of the ball from the right flipper spins clockwise, and the approach to the right eye target, it will benefit from a right-handed spin. That's right. And the same on the other. So that's the forehand, your cross-spinage. And, I mean, we're talking, you know, valence electron type crap, so it's not a big deal, but I don't know, it feels like a big deal to me in my brain anyway. That's right. Well, and it's funny because I just feel more comfortable with the forehand. And that's pinball in a nutshell, right? You go with what's comfortable. Some people are comfortable just flipping. Oh, I backhand so many things, like Iron Man, the Rams. I'm a backhanded player. Well, it depends on the shot. Sure. Like at the New York City Pinball Championship, the Black Pyramid, I was backhanding those orbits. Really? Yeah. That's crazy. It sounds like those slippers aren't aligned correctly, but that's awesome. Were you on G Fuel at the time? I may have been. Because I'll tell you what, that'll make you do great. What? Hey. Last round we saw him do the exact same thing. Full flip, but the center post saved him anyway. Usually if you flip and the post, the flippers get in the way. There we go. That's his fourth one, so he's going to be lit for it. He's trying to save his tourney here. Keith left the door open. Yep. So get her up in that. casino run all right so uh dave will want to at least get past keith here to give him a chance in the third game there we go and he gets a no bomb and a zero with the specials what was that noise five seconds it's at the middle did he post that i think he posted it Oh wow, that screen is so much brighter. You've been watching the wrong screen. I've been watching the wrong screen. Rookie error there. That's right. A little forehand. Tired. Oh, that's a big roll. Oh, 235. Nice. He's still got a no bomb. That's right. All right, what's he going to get this time? Oh, very nice. Yeah, but except for the 100. Well, sometimes it can be much better if you've had multiple balls. All right. He's getting to the point time-wise. Now he's down to nine seconds, eight seconds. That's right. So I think it's time to hit something and cash out. You hate to waste the no bomb or not use it correctly, but at the same time, you've got to move on now. Yeah. All right. Oh, you're going to talk yourself into one more, aren't you? Oh more time. Oh, but Anna Bob. No, no, what do you do? Yeah Pro move there Taking the money, but Keith had a bill on his oh Dave well-deserved brick drain. Yeah, that's tough, but it's a one tough way to exit the tourney sure Can you finish third? Yep, so that only get oh this This 6-6-1-1 is still in play unless Cayley passes Dave to at least get an out. Otherwise, it'll be a two-man battle playing for the high stakes. I hear under the table there's over 100 large being bet between some of these guys. You know, if anybody knows that stuff, Adam, I would guess it would be you. You've got to be kidding. He doesn't get that back. Wow. So that's it. Brutal. We are at 6-6-1-1. Well. Gary George and Dave Stewart. Yep. Can not win this tournament. Only Keith or Jason can. Same expression on his face as when he was getting his super jackpots. Great. Just Jason always exudes. You never know if he's doing well or badly. It's a great posture. Much like me. Great posture. You know, real calm and hardly can tell. so if there was a spectrum megan and let's say keith jason i'm thinking of maybe uh daniele aciari another guy who just sort of uh on one end and on the other end i don't i'm not going to put fred at the other i mean you're on the other end but not completely everyone's on the other end uh you know i you think of some other players who are very animated even raymond gets very energetic. Oh, oh, oh. I was wondering where you were going with that one. You obviously have never seen me play before. This girl is a jumper. Wee, wee, wee. Sorry, that sounded really bad. It's not like that. Do you know Jen Peebler, the Colorado player? The Peeb. No. I love you, Jen. I miss you. She kicks out. People. People. Well, I was worried because the kids were sharing the women's bank, and some of those kids do not respect that line, and I was worried I was going to kick one of them in the head. Well, that's their fault. A valuable lesson would be learned. So that's interesting. So you're on that end of the – excellent. I'm going to – I'm a jumper, kicker. I'm definitely going to have a look next time. If I see that you're playing, I'll keep an eye on that. Gene actually got a good shot of me at the whip tournament in Pittsburgh. Yes, I saw that picture. That was great. Gene Wang's orange photography is the greatest. He got a picture of me at Expo this year on Metallica with the light from the Expo glare, and it looks like it's reflecting off of the Metallica. On your forehead. No, but it's like the light of God shining down as I'm playing. It was the greatest pinball picture I've ever seen. Yes, finally. Arrguesy Arrguesy So we're playing for $100,000 A new car And what else was in there? Trip to the Poconos Oh Poconos Also on a separate tournament Dave and Kaylee are playing For a Boxed magic set Oh no that was That was Mark Pearson At the And 12 new dye At Expo, there was a tournament to win a Houdini pinball machine. Oh, that's great. And second place won a box magic set. And Mark Pearson took second in that tournament and got the max. And Andy Rosa won the pinball machine. Yeah. So, I don't know. There's so many good stories to that whole thing. I don't even want to get into it right now because we've got a great game. Oh. That's a rough. So it looks like Dave did what a lot of people do when they're struggling, said, I'm going first, forget this, stepping up, no pressure. He played this last round. We watched him play, and he actually, I want to say he won. Megan, did he win last? You remember? I felt like he was the, yeah, I know. It was so long ago. Yeah, fair enough. Games start to melt into each other. So this is, so Keith is going in front of Jason. Oh, wow. Nice save. You don't often see Keith jump like that. Nope. His whole body little jump. A big lid spinner. That's about a 65 percenter. Not great, not terrible. And now these two pop bumpers up there are just. And honestly, it feeds down that center rollover pretty nicely. Yeah, it does. And now his double bonus is lit on the scoop. He doesn't have to do the drops. Now, here's the thing, though. You cannot shoot that scoop. It's so brutal. You have to hit it off the sling. There's one roll where the sling will just put it in there. That's right. Nice as butter. But if you try shooting for it. This is the game that Keith chose to bring into the main bank of Indisc two years ago. I think it's one of his favorite EMs. I love it. I'm sure he was happy to see it available. In the high stakes. Yep. Sure. His bonus is max now. He's at 100. All he needs to do is double it. All he needs to do is get it in that scoop. And guess what? His job is done. There's extra balls on this. Oh, yes. After that, the next one is extra ball. All right. Is he going to shoot it? I mean, you can't. He's going to try. No, he's going to hit that lit spinner is what he's going to do. Oh. He went for it. I think he missed the spinner, but you could be right. Oh, no, he's going for it. You're right. Telling you guys. It's the bank. It's the bank that's your best chance. Yep. On ball one, I'm surprised he didn't want to. Oh, that's a smart move. That's a smart one. Sure. Let's see. No, the spinner's not lit now. Yeah, now for sure he's going for it. Try that. don't listen to us folks tens of points that's why we're in the booth right there keith just did a great nudge to get it back over to the advance but no one else was nudging yeah from right to left that dude i love that upper left hand play are you kidding me that's the whole game over there yeah it is right there boom yeah boom and now yep boom all day and adam you were right uh dave did win that one he almost doubled everybody else's score right so uh uh yeah good things from him on the next four this is just like just going just going to that scoop oh that was a spinner yeah you knew you can tell oh it set it up for him right in between yeah we see that drain a lot yeah this game yep but a nice start that's a good side can we see a score let's see 180 and it would be 280 had he hit that saucer hole if the ball had gone into the saucer hole as you said you can't shoot it so yeah his score would have been 280 if he had just gone for the spinner and ripped it but true that all right there we go oh kaylee so going over that rollover opens up uh a gate there on the left hand side very valuable gate that's about another 60 i'd say 68 on that one yes nice advanced bonus up and back and uh with the gate open kill is going to go back up top through the little gap no he missed it a little late yeah but i think That's where he's going. And he'll try it again. He'll go a little bit earlier this time and get it. There it is. Yeah. And then you either go over the rollovers or right here and you bounce up. And he's got one more to go. And then he's. Oh, he tried. He tried a little back. Oh, nice. Yeah. He's. Oh, that sucks. Oh, he didn't die. Takes away your gate. But he didn't die. It can kill you as well. Oh, yeah. Because he can close on you. It goes too far up. That gate's still open, though. Is it? Yep. Good eye. We watched. Why? Raymond opened it a couple times on the shats without dying, which it can be dangerous. Oh, he got side to side, but not high enough. There we go. There we go. Oh, I would have let that. So let's see what interesting ideas Kaylee tries to get it in there. I mean, you just throw it in there. He just tried shooting at it. I want to see some great new angle. Neil Shatz would have a way to get it in there. Oh, right off the pop bumper there. Adam, you need to shoot the right sling to go into the left. Oh, see? That's what I'm saying. You can't hit that shot shoot the right sling into the left Okay, oh for now look good. I had a chance. Oh an in lane everyone have a have a drink at home On an in lane it that's right. I didn't just a beverage of your choice sure orange juice is fine Boom like butter he too does not double it nope and he too has 180 000 he has uh wow we got two more spins than keith did all right let's see what the kids got jason will be hosting the uh state championship at his house this year yeah we all going to state championships all around the country megan where are you playing And then uh providence or whatever province yeah ontario yep and where is that where that one held it going to be held at adam becker's place where the world's oh is it really awesome press play arcade one of the finest well the finest arcade in canada and one of the finest arcades anywhere in the world overall yeah it's a great place to play uh we all had a tremendous time a lot of fun at his place this past summer uh fun watching him give himself a yellow adam and denise were uh great awesome gracious hosts all around and the uh and the folks came out too yep they all folks were all there helping grill and yeah good time have some power naps on the couch keeping the dogs that's right And the turkeys and the ducks. That was a great time. All the fowl. So that's where your Providence finals are? Yep. Oh, he didn't die. That's good. Oh, that could have been a good spinner. Although, interestingly, a lot of players from Ottawa are going to be playing in Montreal, in the Quebec Provincials, just because we're on the border. Sure. Right, they can sort of choose. And where would that one be held? That one's being held at North Star, which is a barcade. All right. Well, good luck to all of our friends north of the border. That's right. Fred, how about you? Where are you going to be? I will be playing in South Carolina where I am the number one seed. What tournament was in South Carolina that got you that number one seed? Is that OBX? No, no major tournaments there. People had to grind. You go every week to South Carolina and play in them weekly? Well, I have relocated down there. So that's where you've been living lately. Correct. You worked in attorneys? I did. Who are some of the local players there to look out for in the finals? Oh, there's a lot of great players there. 2018 really blew up in South Carolina, and 2019 we're looking for even more. So, yeah, they got bit by the bug. Yeah. And so last year really took off a local place there called Firefly. It has a lot of games and a lot of events. I feel like I want to say 46 states this year. Like we're nearly at the full Monty from the U.S. Pretty close, sure. We were having a little fun with the North Dakota pot being, you know, 13 cents. Come on, come on, come on. That's okay, that's okay. But if he had saved it, that would have been epic because that's the hardest outlaying to save on. So he's going to finish up a little bit higher. I think he's at two. No, that's just a one. Sure? Yep, I can see it from here. Because he trained with 105. No, she's right. The kids, the eyes. Remember, it's only ball two here, so we'll take some interest in this once we get closer. Adam wants to talk about, oh, Dave. That was a rocket ship. To the Drace. Yeah, he's, I think it's 72, is that? Yeah, that looks like he's at 72-4. Got some people chiming in. Looks like Arizona State Finals is going to be held at Starfighters Arcade in Mesa. Great scene going on in Arizona. Yep. Good friend of mine, Rachel Best, down there running. Ooh. Geez, a couple of housey balls after some really long play, and that's the way Argusy is. Yeah. When you get into a good rhythm, you can play it for a really long time, and then one bad feed. Sure. Well, that opened the door for Jason a little bit. Again, it's only ball two. However. Yeah. Those were two toughies. So what do we got? Kaylee missed that rollover. It's almost like incandescent versus LED lighting. Or Penn Stadium. Comet. One of my favorites. Comet pinball for all your LED needs. One of our sponsors along with Penn Stadium lighting. Oh, and Penn Stadium. Yep. See, it's going for the double, and I'm telling you. He's determined. oh there's a good spinner rip that's a that's a solid 90 percenter and a rollover for his gate again see he's still trying i wasn't making it up adam you just can't shoot that shot i i agree i don't know why it just does not want to stay in there but kaylee can get pretty set in his ways i thought we saw a lot of double bonuses in the last game though we did but i think they all came uh just out of out of rebounds and things i didn't see well that's a thing i feel like somebody shot it though somebody did shoot it you're right um i don't know i have a i have a personal Ryan Policky if i shoot for a shot and i miss it three times i really forced myself to shoot for something else the old fella in the bar that's right donovan tells the story it's time to find a new shot oh nothing better than the self self-collected rip that's right from the slingshot oh you don't want to shoot that though you don't want to shoot for those drop targets you want to go up in between there and go up top yes you do oh my goodness look out tens of points there we go there we go good all right no coaching no coaching actually we think now shoot up between there jason you're not going for those drops man oh that's it that's it right there that's the danger of you have to alley pass really like a perfect alley pass. So he's at 273. 273 and Keith. Versus 211. Keith is at 211. So players 1 and 3 are playing for 3rd and 4th and players 2 and 4 are playing for the... But Caley's sitting at a 361, huh? Yeah. Nice. Yeah, with one point. I know. And if he takes those four points away... Ah, Dave. Tough breaks, man. great playing though to get in the final four outstanding played well in the main division as well and was driving the bus in fourth place had a great ticket so it's been a good weekend for Dave Stewart alright so Keith let's see what we got there you go there's your gate you get that kind of wonky feed coming down there oh that was very nice you usually die off that corner like there he hit it again though He survived it with the – and then he went right back to it. I was about to say that upper right corner. No, no, no. It's a five-ball game. Hello. Five balls. It's five balls. I think that was only ball three. That was ball three. I mean, it could be ball five, like, honestly. No, no, no. Okay. It's three. I mean, because I have long periods of blacking out now. Or just that I can't explain. yeah so that light is right there on jason's score you said it's what two two two seventy three three forty one come on tap uh whatever that's the shot jason that yeah it is and then jason yeah yep and that's you can do it all day that roller right there's that bonus think think well how about one more think oh there's another out of bonus there's nine and one more you're maxed out going for the uh spinner and now now that's there you go scoop is hot can we see the pop bumper put it into the scoop once like that i called it i yelled into the microphone i'm sorry you guys i was excited it's a long game somebody finally got one so that's 200,000 thank goodness the gate was open pop right back in there open it up again kaylee's not going down without a fight no i like her chances i like his chances for third place yeah i really i really like them what in the heaven's name that you get it you get it rolling and then lane pass over i guess some others do it what about an up and over there you go Look at the ball. Nice. Boom. That was like a 40-percenter. That was just not, yeah. 45, maybe. So, Jason, alley pass too well there. Yes. You want to rattle the alley, and then you can. That's good. Another let. There we go. He's sitting at 437 right now with 200 in the bank. That's a 637. I watched Kaylee's qualifying on this and he's pretty sure he got doinked out of a 100th thou with the left rollover or the left reel oh yeah and he still finished with like a 980 something so 980 it didn't affect the outcome or maybe he could have been top seed and picked games differently so did he just get an extra ball on that no he has to he lit it Yeah, but it's got to go back into there. Okay, so that lit it. That's like showing what the next scoop is, I believe. Although we haven't seen an extra ball in this competition. Some people got them in qualifying, I think. Kaylee putting his jacket back on in between balls. All right, so Jason is in the lead here, trying to extend his lead. It's player four. Oh, that was a lovely little Jason catch. well he's not in the lead for the game because the game kaylee is crushing uh for the championship correct he's only interested in key score oh my goodness stop did he survive that or not he did because he had the game open jason okay spinner or you can back end it up the center yeah there you go nice so jason didn't get to play over there it is up to 300 310 okay doubles lit again and his gate is open again okay do not go frank drops i don't think he's going to alley this time there we go that's the shot that's the shot oh but he'll be thinking okay still work that one works no and knocking around just me or is that one pop I've got a brighter light okay almost knocked him over what did he finish up with that's 397 397 he's got a uh oh what what whoa what what the what just happened what he's turning off all the games you're kidding me dude you know what there's no progress saved so it doesn't matter no harm no foul they can they can sure other than writing the scores down that's sure it's uh there it's uh So we just had one of the museum employees. I've never seen that. I thought that was just turning the games off and kicking people out, but I didn't realize there was, you know, a million-dollar tournament going on. Wow. This is very reminiscent of the World Series Game 6 in 19, what was it, 1952, I want to say, Game 6. Before my time. And they just turned the lights off. They thought the game was over after the sixth inning. I've never heard that. I'm making it up. Wow. That never happened. I'm still just flabbergasted. Because the other competitors are back here with us watching on screen instead of standing there, and we're all tired and sitting down. That's going to go down in the lowers. To be fair, he did a good job because not only did he turn it off, He plunged the ball in the shooter lane to get it back into the trough. So that was a complete well done. Well, honestly, the technicians here are pretty top notch. They're really good. I came in early this morning, took a peek over at Magic Girl. Oh, wait. I just saw the guy who did that, and someone's giving him $5. Who was that? No. Wah, wah. All right. But, you know. Okay. So what's ironic was Jason's player four. So we have, what, two balls? No, one ball. Is that four? That was four. So we have just a two-ball game, and Carl's going to write our previous scores on something. Who wrote the scores down? Carl's got them. He's putting them up for us because he's the man. Well, this makes it a little tough as a competitor because you can't see. Just a little bit. Dave did go in there and get his double bonus, which is nice. He landed in there. He's way behind, though. He's got a lot of work to do. He's two and a half balls behind, basically, Kaylee. so commentating we have Mr. Happy tonight as well as Sunshine and Frederick now you're going in there that makes me Mr. Happy? That's right and you're Sunshine? Apparently not to be confused with Sunshine Vaughn. Correct I was a little bit confused but no Sunshine and Adam left Do you not know her? She's like a happy all the time she's a little Miss Sunshine. Okay and that's it it's gonna do it for dave ball four are you sure yes my god all right so what the scores you're seeing here are are 253 for dave these are the 253 on that ball and then you're going to add what you see on the screen here because these are the scores before the uh the game was inadvertently reset right but thankfully it wasn't god imagine if they were on godzilla and they'd have to start over with no progress oh my goodness so uh it's actually the best the best possible outcome to be on an electromechanical because yeah you know even paragon you know you got your tokens yeah so okay anyway we're back at it penultimate ball of the uh the tournament for keith I feel like it's either going to go really well or really bad. And that was a nice spinner rip. And let's see if he gets into the advanced bonus pattern. He's up to over. Yep. He's in a good one. That'll drop it. Oh, he got an inlay. Oh, and he did a nice little stutter shafts. Yeah. That was beautiful. Is he going to be rewarded? No, he couldn't. He needed to go a little further to keep that gate open. That was a very nice ball there. Let's do some math. So, Key said 385. So, Jason has the lead and a ball in hand. There you go. Kaylee. Kaylee. Dave Stewart's at about 360, 380 or so. All day? Yeah. And really with only 200 max bonus Other than Dave needs an extra ball to have that's right really much hope to claw back in for third fourth Kind of weird. No, they're really strange roll right there. I haven't seen that train much. Yeah, that was brutal So here comes Jason he's Sitting at about 400 thou so he's got about a 15 foul lead on Keith Ellen and with the ball in hand here so he's just trying to avoid the uh avoid the house the punch train try and put some distance between him and keith right oh he misses it oh there's that it's not there's that pop yeah the ironic uh pop bumper to the to the area work it now you got it now oh that was a tough one oh oh you're fine now uh oh coming down it's good that's fine Oh nice been a rip there while it's lit. I'm sitting only at 40. Now he's up to 5. Look out, I don't like this at all. Alright, so we're going to play one ball for this is high stakes finals. One ball to go on the RRGC. Keith Elwin and Jason Wardrick are playing for 1st 2nd. Dave Stewart and Kaylee Dave Stewart and Kaylee George are playing for third, fourth due to the previous two games of the 6-6-1-1 outcome. And Dave's going to go first, and he needs a lot of points. Double max bonus and an extra ball to have a chance. Beautiful skill shot. Yes, Megan? I was going to say, he's actually not all that far behind. Kaylee? he no it's kaylee he's got a yeah no sorry i was just uh so he got his double bonus which is very nice lit his ex oh he almost yeah well he knows what he needs to do oh it tried it really they They wanted to put it in there. There we go. Use the gate. Go back up. Get another one. Oh, very useful. We see that drain too many times. Yes. Too many times. This game is sponsored by the right out lane drain. The right most drop target to the right out lane drain. And the letters F-U. He got it. So he did get it. All right. Can you see a score up there, Megan? Megan's working the numbers over here on the abacus. Yeah, he's at 459, 460. Including his 98, or you're adding that in? Oh, no, sorry. On the board right now. Oh, on the board he's at 450 or something? Yeah. Wow. Well, more than that, actually. So he's at 550 overall then. He needs another 100. He wants to hit that saucer so bad or the lid spinner wouldn't wouldn't nothing to sneeze. That's right Oh, don't do that. No. Oh my goodness or that Dave roaring back Wow There you go, that's the right shot now his game is over a couple more bonus advances and uh his day is done like i think he's this is tremendous it's like where was he on balls one through four or one through three it's like when the game got turned off it it invigorated him he got turned on So he's got 200 in hand. Yep. He's maxed out bonus. There you go. Spinner all day. Yeah. Or try and get another extra ball. Don't. That's okay. That's okay. Yeah, right. Walk away. So he's going to end up well over 800,000, I think. Yeah. Really? What's on the board? Seven something? 727. 720. So he's at 825. Kaylee needs suddenly a lot of points wow that came out of nowhere but more at hands for first and second place here that's right Keith needs to it's a big ball here uh oh he did not get into the good pattern oh he got back into it but nope nope wow that's maybe here nope uh oh that's ugly there it is Jason Werdrick our first first annual high stakes Indisc 2019 champion. Sliding beads back and forth over here. He will get to plunge off in a moment, but still we got some unfinished business here. Kaley's got to catch. Well, I don't see him plunging off. I'm sure he will play. No, he's going to plunge off. Fred, what are you talking about? Yeah, he is. He's going to plunge off. Yeah, he will. This is game three. This is it. He's plunging. He's plunging the ball and walking away. In fact, he's going to get that guy to turn the game off for him. There it is. There's that pop throw when it's not lit. Yeah. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Oh, no. There we go. Oh, as only Kaylee can do. And the swish up the spinner. All right, so Kaylee's bonus now is he's at 90. He's at 100. Oh, no, we didn't get it that time. Now he's at 100. Double is lit. He has 686. Oh, no. No, it's not there. Or is it? What has he got? Now we don't know if he won or not. They're doing the math. We are mad over here, drying in the sand, sliding beads. Hey, someone's doing Chisholm bop. Who's with me on the Chisholm bop? Negative. No. Jason, don't care. who who who won kaylee did catch dave stewart yep did he really so we have uh Keith Elwin taking second we have kaylee george in third place and dave stewart in fourth place uh okay so coming up next we're gonna apparently there's a new tournament forming from everyone left over it's gonna be a we're gonna call it lord of the flies tournament we're gonna take all the tilt bobs off And it's pretty much everything goes. Watch out, suckers. You only get one ball, but you're allowed to lift the game off the ground if you so choose. No, actually, that's it. That's it for Indus 2019. Thanks for tuning in. And, again, if you're not here and thinking about coming, I'd say come on out. Get your butt out here. It's been a great time. Megan, Fred, any final words to the pinball? What's next? What's our next? Well, we all got state finals next week. So good luck to the thousands and thousands of players trying to win back their dollars. Do you want to know the final scores? Or am I going to put them up on the screen? I do have the final scores for Argosy. If anybody cares. Yeah, no, I care. I care. I care. Okay. Well, so Kaylee won it with 860,970. Dave came in second with 825,830. That was close. So it was close. It was less than 40,000 difference. Wow. Yeah, then we had Jason with 527,420, and Keith with 422,770. Unofficial scores. Excellent. Good stuff. Well, let's get the heck out of here. Yep. Guys, thanks for having us. Fred Richardson, Megan Sprague, you're welcome. Adam Wefkoff.
