>Samuel_Kaplan: AHLNNOS 8D HONAN +24 24
#note Wasn't 100% sure on HALON so I made the sure play.
>Noah_Kalus: AIRY D8 .AIRY +22 22
>Samuel_Kaplan: ILNQSVV G7 V.V +17 41
#note My play and -QVV sim close. I decided to create another S hook. Q favors my play slightly over -QVV.
>Noah_Kalus: BDEEGOS - +0 22
#note Not actual rack. Noah exchanged 6.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ILNNQRS -ILNNQR +0 41
#note Easy decision to exchange after Noah just exchanged. Digging for blanks.
>Noah_Kalus: DDEMMU 11C D.UMMED +26 48
>Samuel_Kaplan: AFILRST H10 F.TIAL +30 71
#note Best play! I made this play over FERIAL because of an extra unseen T. #wordfindingsolid
>Noah_Kalus: IX G11 .IX +39 87
>Samuel_Kaplan: BCFGORS E4 FORG. +18 89
#note I have no choice but to open the top left as Noah is doing a great job of closing the bottom down. This is best as it dumps the most clunk.
>Noah_Kalus: ?EEIORT 15D aERO.ITE +57 144
#note 10th best bingo. His best play was 15H (L)OITEREr or (L)OITEREd. If anything, he could have played the same bingo from the A in FETIAL for 11 more.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABCEOSS 5B CAB.OSES +62 151
#note Spot on!
>Noah_Kalus: CILS H1 SLIC. +30 174
#note He's got the last S for sure.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGGIOPW 2D WIGG.E +15 166
#note 6C GORP is the play. I played this one too scared. I should have just taken the points with COWPIE which I saw but GG is just gross.
>Noah_Kalus: ENRU 1A RUNE +21 195
>Samuel_Kaplan: AJOPRTU 14K PUJA +30 196
#note Got this turn right! Now it's time to get the bottom right going.
>Noah_Kalus: HS O14 SH +29 224
#note I don't think Noah realized that PUJA takes an H hook.
>Samuel_Kaplan: KOORRTW J2 ROW +22 218
#note Missed the hotspot again at 6F. My play is 8th.
>Noah_Kalus: EZ 10H .EZ +38 262
#note Ugh
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAKOPRT K3 KOA +25 243
#note Did not know PAKORA. My play is 4th and counters the defense Noah played last turn with FEZ.
>Noah_Kalus: DIQ C4 Q.ID +16 278
#note Got very lucky Noah had to deal with the Q so that he couldn't block my incoming bingo.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AINOPRT L3 ATROPIN +91 334
#note BAM!
>Noah_Kalus: BDELNU 1J BUNDLE +39 317
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AEEETY M1 .EY +36 370
#note I immediately saw ELATION and TOENAILS in the unseen pool. Turns out, those are the only ones. Luckily those wouldn't play and I found a way to outrun him without giving him a spot for either of those. This is best.
>Noah_Kalus: AEILNOT M7 ETALON +18 335
#note Noah's best play was TOLANE 14A.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AEETT 14A EsTATE +21 391
#note Meanwhile my out is best as well.

Had a couple of good finds but not seeing the 6F hotspot was bad. ATROPIN was lucky and I also played the pre-endgame very well. Safe to say I also got lucky Noah didn't know the H hook on PUJA and he didn't find the best bingo when he did bingo. Onto the next one.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (I) +2 393
