Started the day with a solid Steps for Sips Sunday walk, survived the surprise “100 Leggings Pickup Challenge” issued by the cats, and then headed into the chaos of Bounty Knockout Sunday.
Andrew entered the tournament and immediately started doing Andrew things.
The early rounds were already dangerous, with bounty chips floating around the room and people trying to avoid that dreaded extra strike.
Meanwhile, Andrew quietly kept advancing while the field slowly turned into a graveyard of red Xs.
At one point he rolled Nitro Ground Shaker, then later survived Playboy and Galaxy, where things really escalated.
Galaxy turned into a full shark-feeding frenzy because Gabrielle Craft had an extra bounty attached to her head.
Andrew managed to hand Gaby a strike while also knocking out Matt Jackson at the same time, collecting TWO bounty chips in one shot.
That’s the moment where the room collectively goes: “Oh no. Andrew’s heating up.”
Later, on Strikes and Spares, Andrew absolutely detonated the machine:
Andrew: 841,850
Player 1: 39,600
Player 3: 107k
Paul Blanco lost a bounty chip in the process, and Andrew added another poker chip to the growing stack.
By the later rounds, the field had narrowed down to absolute Arizona killers:
KCar (Kevan Carter)
Mark Pearson
Brian Pinney
John Shopple
Gaby
Brad Vogus
Bob Kennedy
Greg Mohs
This was no casual bracket anymore. This was deep-water shark territory.
Round 13 landed Andrew on Dolly Parton against:
Kevan Carter
Brian Pinney
Mark Pearson
Which is basically the pinball equivalent of accidentally loading into a Dark Souls boss fight while carrying three strikes already.
Andrew and KCar both took strikes there, ending Andrew’s run.
Final result:
🏆 9th Place
💰 Multiple bounty chips collected
🦈 Several high-profile knockouts
🎯 Survived 13 rounds in one of the nastiest fields around
