4:49 p.m. Krabill is unable to anser the bell and because of that La Charite is back as the fast loser from the prior round. Jennings was even later than a late La Charite, but it made no difference. Krabill will be the champ of the series but La Charite will finish #2. By the way, that was the third '5' of the weekend for Jennings and a big win.
