TD Matt Savage has just gone to each of the remaining four tables to inform the players that the pot has been sweetened for the six people who make the final table. They will be transported via limousine to an NBA game between the L.A. Clippers and the Boston Celtics tomorrow night. At halftime of the game, the six will be brought onto the court to be introduced to the national media. They'll also have an opportunity to shoot a lay-up, a free throw and a three-point shot for $1,200.

Chris Ferguson, upon hearing that the prize was $1,200, joked that if it had been a Lakers game rather than the lowly Clippers (the red-headed stepchild of Los Angeles basketball), the prize would have been $160,000.
