Play in order of lowest card first:

So the joint plan is to play high enough that someone else will have to bust, unless any of you have over 92 that you want to play at this time? No? Well it isn't going to work for everyone.

Weez is the unlucky recipient of a bust and selects the 7 point row 4.

Everyone else follows on!
