OK, folks. CY$95,000 is burnin' a hole in our pockets at Net Poker. Sooo.... let's go ahead and start up Game 12.
We'll be looking for two challengers as our current champ, Andy Geller, will be going for his third win, an undefeated championship and a berth in the Quarter Million Playoff.
Remember, if you've been in the main game of Game 9, 10 or 11, please sit on your hands and let someone else participate.
To participate in the qualifying round, please e-mail me the following...
\Your name
\Your e-mail address that you wish to have Net Poker related e-mail sent to you
\A sentence or two about yourself (like real game shows)
\Your answer to this qualifying question...
How many U.S. post offices were in operation in 2002?
(time passes)
Another great turnout for qualifying. Twelve players. But we'll narrow that field down to two after we reveal the right answer...
QUALIFYING ANSWER |
...38,169. And they all backed Lance Armstrong en route to win #4 in Le Tour de France. Who came the closest?
Chris Wolvie 52,013
With a difference of almost 14,000, Chris is back. He played in Game 7 and, IIRC, won CY$500. He's honored the waiting period and is allowed back in to the main event. Who else is joining in our party?
Barry Brooks 10,243
With a difference of almost 28,000 the other way, it's Barry. Thanks to everyone for playing. We'll shoot for an audience game later. Meantime, we'll start the road to CY$95,000 on Net Poker.

The Ghost of Jay Stewart: This is our returning champion. Andy Geller -- a stock broker from sunny South Florida. Stand by to see Andy play for CY$100,000 and a BRAND NEW CAR!

TGoJS: One of these contestants will win our Joker Poker round and play for the CY$95,000 Outlaw's Jackpot. Hundreds of thousands in cyber-cash and virtual prizes are at stake tonight on Net 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: Thank you, ghost of Jay Stewart. Hellooooooooo everybody and welcome to Net Poker. As he noted, we've got a lot on the line -- so let's get this party started. Of course, we've got to have a dealer for our card game. And her name is D.J. Hamilton.
(D.J. walks out wearing a strapless dark blue dress; she's holding and waving a small replica of the Canadian flag) (audience cheers)
D.J.: Hi everyone.
Doug: Did you go north of the border recently?
D.J.: Well, I visited Toronto years ago. But this flag represents a theme for our first round of the game. We'll talk about that in a moment after I introduce our players -- Barry Brooks, Chris Wolvie and our returning champion with CY$12,850 -- Andy Geller.
