Default [Dixonary] Round 2954 ESKEBACH Results

We have a four-way tie for ESKEBACH between Johnny Barrs, Tim Bourne, Mike
Shefler, and Dan Widdis who have four points each. As two of Johnny's
points were for guessing correctly that an ESKEBACH is a an ash-sifter, he
drops out of the race. Of the other three, Mike Shefler is ahead in the
rolling scores and so takes the next deal.

Over to you, Mike!
