WHAT IS “HEY JUDE.”

“More than seven minutes in length, “Hey Jude” was, at the time, the longest single ever to top the British charts. It also spent nine weeks as number one in the United States — the longest run at the top of the American charts for a Beatles’ single, and tied the record for longest stay at number one (until the record was broken by “You Light Up My Life”).” (wikipedia)

Tom doubled his dough and finished with $5,200.

Anne bet $5,000 and that brought her up to $11,800.

Drew bet $4, even though he could safely have added $199. But, no matter, he won the match with $14,804. His 8-day total is $138,100.
