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. Last time we were together, it was a profitable time for Andy Silikovitz. He won three games and in the process won a new Jaguar XK8 Convertible and collected CY$160,000. (audience cheers) Oh, yeah. He'll be back later in the season to compete against three other players in our Quarter Million Playoff. And who knows, one of these three players could be in that big dance. Here to introduce our challengers is D.J. Hamilton.
(audience cheers) (D.J. walks out wearing a dark red strapless dress)
D.J.: Hi everyone. We've got some familiar faces on our show today.
Doug: That's right. During the last game, we had a boo-boo and we decided to give the losing parties the benefit of the doubt and let them play in the this game. So, who's back and who's new?
D.J.: Well, building on CY$500 is a sportswriter, Eddie Timanus. Back with CY$200 is a state treasury department employee, Marc Enyedy. And our newcomer is Alan Timper.

Doug: From here on out, you have to earn your points and you begin that by answering questions correctly. I have five multiple choice questions. Each time you chime in with the right answer, we add 10 points to your score. After the fifth question, we'll give each of you a turn at the video screen. Hands on the buzzers, good luck and here we go with the questions...
