That's the risk of you thinking you won't get forcibly exercised (or assigned) but then at the bell you trade through the strike and suddenly you're exposed to clear the trade on the underlying. If you can't clear that trade you're in deep **** as you'll get an immediate margin call.

There is also gap risk on the re-open Monday to deal with as well (if you do get exercised or assigned)
