Doug: And welcome back to Net Poker. Chico and Michael are about to play a hand of...
|
Doug: ...5-Card Poker. During the break, we had Michael cut the cards for this round since he finished second in the previous round. We're still using every Ace through 9. In a moment, we'll see the first two cards of the deck and I'll ask the players a question.
Chico and Michael, when one of you chimes in with the right answer, you win 10 points and the right to select one of the two up cards. Remember, each time you decline a card, we give it to your opponent. We'll repeat this process until you each have four cards.
Then, we'll have the fifth pair of cards up for grabs face down and ask a 15-point blind card question. Score 15 there and you pick one of the two blind cards to complete your hand.
We'll then compare hands and the better hand wins 25 more points. High score at the end of the round advances to Joker Poker. If you're set, Deej has the first two cards of the round.
D.J.: And they are...

D.J.: ...the King of Spades and the Queen of Spades.
Doug: Well, so much for a royal flush. In any event, guys, good luck. The first question in the round's a little long -- so play carefully...

Doug: ...thank you. (light laughter) Used to be we had Deej deal out everything and then things just got too busy for her so we just installed this chute. Anyhoo, as I was saying, Michael, you've got to hope one of these cards is an Ace or King to stay in the game. So, here we go with the important blind card question...

Doug: The right it is...

Doug: ...okie doke. Michael, the only way you're going to stay in business if the right cards a King or Ace. Deej, go ahead and show us his 5th card.
