#note I lost my round 7 scoresheet - I didn't play well but I don't think it was winnable. I have Kevin's racks here. This is my second blown game.

#note Great play by Kevin, going for one of the two U's. I doesn't actually win in theory, but it's still a great play.
>Avery: EIIOTUV N9 IVIE. +17 500
#note I put down OUTVIED and thought it looked weird as hell, so I picked it up and changed it to this. And I had no idea what was about to hit me.
>Kevin: NU 8A UN....... +36 493
#note What a shitty feeling to blow a game on such a high probability word. I was too upset with myself to recount, and if I had done so, I would have won. I need to have better emotional control than that, but kudos to Kevin for a well played pre-endgame. I didn't deserve this one at all. Not ashamedl to call it a loss after playing CORY, chickening out of a top 2500 seven, and messing up the pre-endgame, but I should be better than that. I vowed to focus better for day 2, knowing I'd have some tough games ahead.
>Kevin: (OTU) +6 499
