Due to a series of ties,
Herbert Stempel, our 29-year-old
ex-G.l. college student,
:06:39
must play at
$3,000 a point,
:06:42
which means that
in a few brief minutes,
:06:44
he can either win as much as
$100,000, the most money
won on television to date,
:06:49
or lose everything he's won
in the last eight weeks.
:06:52
- You nervous ?
- [ Chuckling ]
:06:55
lt's only money.
:06:57
lsolated in their
soundproof studios,
:06:59
neither player is aware
of the other's score.
