Play in order of lowest card first:

Aqua 27

Argus 32
Weez 94

Well most people think playing under 39 is the best option.. BUT there are only 2 spaces available. Scrabbling to get on row 1 Aqua and AJ race for the row leaving Argus bringing up the rear to claim the 7 points

Seems like Weez is unlucky too as she was fairly sure someone would play beneath her but no.. she swipes row 2 for 6 points.
