 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • Argus - 2
  • Gypsy - 12
  • Weez - 71
  • AJ - 89

Argus decides to take a 1-point bust while it's still available, swiping row 2.

While Gypsy knew she'd play on the old Row 1, Argus's move opens it up to everyone else. But Weez and AJ ignore those spots and head for Row 3 instead.
