Wish I could have recorded the whole moment.
I had all Pungs (3 of a kind) in hand and was waiting for my final tile. I could have gamed earlier on but didn’t. Why not just try my luck? For the first time ever I wasn’t that short of change in the box and if I had decided to take that winning tile (a sequence which would have ruined my family of 3 of a kinds), I would have only won 40 cents.
I managed to get 4 of a kind which meant I’d need to draw from the dead wall. I drew my own flower, another tile to be taken from the dead wall and the final tile I drew was my winning tile.
2 of my own flowers, all Pungs and in Saki’s terminology – Tsumo after a Kong.
Maximum. $6.40 from everyone. Happiest moment of my life. Not for winning but the fact that I Kong, draw my own flower and then Tsumo (which means I win by drawing my winning tile by myself and not by a tile discarded by another player).
