Welcome to Game 15 of Net Poker. A few notes...
\ John Menjes won the Outlaw's Jackpot of CY$102,500 on the last show. So, it starts all over again at CY$50,000.
\ Since this is Game 15, if you played in the main game of the 12th, 13th or 14th episode, please sit on your hands and let someone else play.
\ This should be the last Net Poker game for the year. But we'll have more fun on NP in the new year and perhaps by then, we should have our fourth player for the Quarter Million Playoff.
\ Since the holiday season is weeks away, we'll try to get through this as fast as possible. Because of that, we probably won't have an audience game for this episode.
And now, on to qualifying. You oughta know how this works by now. Come close enough to the right answer to the following query and you're in the show...
In April 2003, I guest hosted Steve Michaels' Net Percentages. For that episode's bonus game, I borrowed an element from the Super Match of the Net Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour and asked the polling group to fill in this blank...
SOUTH_______
...what percentage of the polling groups responded "South Carolina"?
(time passes)
Well, to borrow a line from Net Family Feud, survey SAYS...
QUALIFYING ANSWER |
...eight percent. Well, would've been higher if my future wife and a few of her colleagues participated in that poll. She used to work at the College of Charleston. Anyhoo, who came the closest...
Michael Clifford 8%
...Michael's right on the money. And joining him and the champ is...
Jon Darrall 14%
...Jon. To everyone else, thanks for playing. Net Poker's next.
====================================================================== (camera zooming in on a painting of dogs playing Poker as "Jingle Bells" by The Singing Dogs plays; then fade in to group shot of the Net Poker staff) Doug: From all of us at Net Poker... Everyone else in unison: HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!! ======================================================================
(drum roll) (fade into one-shot of John Menjes)
The Ghost of Jay Stewart: This is our current champion. John Menjes from sunny South Florida. Last time on Net Poker, he won the Outlaw's Jackpot worth more than CY$100,000. He's now qualified for the Quarter Million Playoff...

TGoJS: ...and will defend his championship crown against these two players. One of these contestants will play for the new Outlaw's Jackpot of CY$50,000 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. It took us a while -- but we finally gave away the Outlaw's Jackpot and we're starting a new one. D.J. Hamilton's away on assignment. She's already on a photo shoot for the Net Poker 2006 Calendar. After all, we've learned the hard way it's better to plan ahead. :) So filling in for her is our guest dealer, Jess Harris.
(audience cheers) (Jess walks out wearing a strapless red dress)
Jess: Hi, Doug. Pleasure to be here and a warm welcome to today's contestants. They are Jon Darrall, Michael Clifford and the big winner from the last show with CY$104,500, John Menjes.
