Unfortunately it was a night of mistakes.
First, on a hand of Bingo, Jeff realized he had failed to discard one of his cards. He noticed his mistake about midway through the hand, and it actually ended up saving him money, because even if he had discarded correctly, he would have continued to showdown and lost.
Second, at the end of another hand of Bingo, Jeff (low) and Bill (high) were preparing to split the pot. Then Jeff noticed that Bill had failed to discard a 9 in his hand. (A 9 was one of the last two cards to be revealed on the board.)
Finally, yet again on Bingo, it came down to Chris (five cards) and Miguel (one card) at showdown. Chris inadvertently put only one chip in his fist (indicating a declaration of low), and Miguel scooped the pot.

Using those “declare” chips is the most nerve-wracking part of the game. And as you say, our mantra is “Don’t mess up” so we give fair warning but it’s still pain-inducing. Thank you everyone for being good sports.
Need to mention that our Ty’s Xmas in July was fun. He provided parting gifts for pot-winners. Good Luck in Arizona, and let us know if you start a game there ! (Heck, he’s minutes from the Desert Diamond Casino)
