Argus and AJ fill out Row 2, leaving a nice package of points ready for anyone with a card between 64 and 99.

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:

Argus - 8
Weez - 16
Gypsy - 19
Alduin - 36
AJ - 57

AJ is the only one with a guaranteed safe play on Row 1 and heads there, while everyone else risks a 4-point bust with varying degrees of certainty. Argus is the most certain one.

Gypsy decided a guaranteed 8 points was better than risking 9+? or 13, and made an intentional bust of Row 4. Argus and AJ both tried for the one spot on Row 1, with Argus winning and AJ taking 10 points for his gamble. And on the high end of the board, Weez manages to squeeze behind Alduin to force him to claim the old Row 3's 13 points. Ouch.
