The lady was on the 2nd level with $600 and an Ace. She said "All of it HIGHER." Nothing is higher than an Ace. Eubanks just went on, the producer didn't say anything. They gave her the $600. Lady ended up with $1,800, they went to a commercial. I'm figuring they have to give an explanation for this. When they came back, Eubanks just brought out the next contestant. No explanation. They might have snipped it out. But I find this unusual since Goodson shows are mostly sticklers for the rules.

How exactly could you be a stickler for a mathematically impossible scenario? "Higher than an Ace? Nooooo, it's a 9!" (fail horns) strikes me as bad television.
If it's a King, I get it, but as you mentioned, nothing is higher than an Ace, so just treat it like a slip of the tongue and keep going. I seem to remember there being an occasion where either Jim or Bob said something along the lines of "since you can't go higher than an Ace/lower than a deuce, how much would you like to bet?", and the emphasis was more on the wagered amount.
