Doug: And we're back with more Net Poker. Time for our Joker Poker round.

Doug: Alan won the first round, Chris the second and now we play for the championship. Players, this works just like 5-Card Poker -- except that the deck of cards we're playing with now has a couple of Jokers in addition to every Ace, face card, 10 and 9. If you get a Joker, you can substitute it for anything when your poker hand is complete. High-scoring player at the end of this round wins the game, plays for CY$10,000 and then goes on to Deuces Wild Poker where that CY$72,500 jackpot is waiting to be won. (audience cheers) OK, D.J., what's up first?
D.J.: Well, interesting way to start. The Ace of Spades and the Joker.
Doug: My, what a choice. Before you get to choose, you have to get by this 10-point question...
