Hmmm...  I would have had a chance to save myself, but more
importantly I think it would increase the bidding to try to prevent
people from saving themselves.  If I know that johndoe has $800
left, and there are 8 players left, I can guess that my $50 bid
isn't going to be near enough to hang him so maybe I bid $200
instead.  The last few rounds might be real short on cash, but
that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Yeah, I like it.  Good idea.
