1st Bryan Benwitz continued his dominance of the east side with an unblemished 4-0 +361 record. Notably, he achieved the rare "Anti-Reinke" by defeating both players with the last name Reinke in a single club session. Against Charles Reinke, neither player scored 400, but Bryan was significantly closer to 400 than Charles was, with a final score of 399-320. A crafty AZOTEMIA followed up with a 95-point LARDONS spelled doom for Charles. Again, neither player broke the 400-point barrier when Bryan vanquished Thomas Reinke 388-379, mostly relying on his 94-point OLIVINES to supply him the win. More high-level bingoage was displayed against Dave Kinzer, where Bryan's three bingos of LEAVIEST, DEAREST, EQUISETA, against Dave's singular AIRHEAD, delivered a 426-326 win.

2nd Thomas Reinke went 4-1 +384 and laid down an impressive thirteen bonus plays to be crowned this week's "bingo king". He played his brother Charles Reinke in two games and won them both, the first being relatively close at 437-412, the second being not so close at 455-346. In the second round, Thomas played two games at once, and unleashed a torrent of bingos in a pair of games that were both decisive victories: 482-349 against Richard Lauder (who played the word of the week, NAZIFIES, for 102 points in his losing effort) and 479-353 against Renato Umali. Thomas' combined bingos in the round were SCOOTED, ACTIONER, SOBERING, EUCHRED, RURALIZE, and UNIRONED. Only a third-round loss to Bryan Benwitz prevented Thomas from attaining the coveted 5-0 record.

Also of note were a 176-point play of BLUEFISH from Renato Umali and a dizzying 572-point game from Dennis Lloyd, who played four bingos, including a 124-point LAZIEST. That 572-point game represents Dennis' highest-scoring game in his club career, barely eclipsing a 571-point game dating from March of 2022.
