Video Poker TGoJS: From Studio 63, welcome to the card game where high hands can bring high rewards. This is Net Poker. (audience cheers) And now here's the star of our show, Doug Morris!
(Doug walks out from behind the video poker screen)
Doug: Thank you, ghost of Jay Stewart. Hellooooooo, everybody, and welcome to Net Poker. We're welcoming back a champion with CY$8750 -- and we're also welcoming back his two challengers due to a scoring error in Round 1. We'll meet them all in a moment but first here's our dealer, D.J. Hamilton.
(audience cheers) (Deej walks out wearing the same black one-piece swimsuit, white tuxedo jacket and top hat from the last show)
D.J.: Hi everyone.
Doug: Well, deja vu all over again in the wardrobe department, eh?
D.J.: Well, ya know, I thought I'd do my part to speed up getting one game done and start taping the next. Besides, I managed to get a guy's phone number after the show. So, this must be working.
Doug: Huh boy. Well, anyway, who's back to play with us?
D.J.: Building on CY$5000 is Noiel Spearman, building on CY$350 is Tom Krueger and our champ Robert McBride is building on CY$8250.

Doug: I've seen you try to buzz in; the others have been beating you to the punch. By the way, Detroit and Miami are in the same time zone; so, 6:00 in Miami also means 6:00 in the motor city. OK, one more question -- and oddly enough, we're dealing with cards here.
D.J.: (groans) Oh, Doug, you did it again.
Doug: What?
D.J.: *Dealing* with cards? (audience laughs)
Doug: Honest, it wasn't intentional. Anyway, final question...
