Doug: And welcome back to Net Poker. Let's move on to our championship round of Joker Poker...

Doug: Michael won the first round, John won the second round. One of these contestants will play for CY$50,000. Since Michael won the first round, he cut the cards for this round. This plays just like the previous round -- except there are two Jokers in the deck. If you get a Joker, you may use it for anything when your poker hand is complete.
Jess, good news. Ray called during the break and he's interested in you modeling for the 2006 calendar.
Jess: Awesome!
  |
Jess: OK, the first cards in the round are the Jack of Spades and the Jack of Diamonds. Thank you, Ray, whoever you are.
Doug: Trust me, he's a real pro at it. Anyway, let's get to business and see if John will keep his crown or Michael will snatch it from him.
Leonardo da Vinci...
\ was born in 1552
\ produced a blueprint for a machine gun
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: John.
John: I'll say none of the above.
Doug: Not the right choice. Michael, chance to steal.
Michael: produced a blueprint for a machine gun
Doug: That's right. (audience applause) OK, Michael, which card?
Michael: I will take the Jack of Spades.
Doug: The Spade Jack's yours...
JOHN
|
Doug: ...meaning the champ gets the Diamond Jack. And we have two more cards on the way.
  |
Jess: The 10 of Clubs and the Ace of Spades.
Doug: And with this next question, let's see how much you know about music.
America is the birthplace of...
\ Jazz music
\ Folk music
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: John.
John: I'll say all of the above.
Doug: Sorry, not right. Michael, chance to steal 10 more points and the control.
Michael: none of the above
Doug: Not the right answer. America is the birthplace of jazz. This means we'll play another 10-pointer -- where you'll still pick from the 10 or Ace. Next question's a little long, so play carefully...
At the 2004 Olympics in Greece, the gold medal-winning beach volleyball team included...
\ Misty May
\ Holly McPeak
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Michael.
Michael: Misty May
Doug: That's right.

Doug: The other half of the golden team was Kerri Walsh. Americans Holly McPeak and Elaine Youngs won the bronze in that tournament. And -- why do I get the feeling they're going to play highlights of the tourney at my bachelor party? (audience laughs) Michael, which card?
Michael: I'll take the Motorhead card (aka the Ace of Spades).
Doug: Ace for you...
|
JOHN
|
Doug: ...John gets a 10. We get two more cards and Michael's hoping for another ingredient for a royal flush. Jess?
Jess: Well, let's see...
  |
Jess: ...sorry, King of Clubs and the 9 of Clubs.
Doug: Once again, the Jag goes back to the garage. But let's see who gets 10 points on this question...
In politics, Clint Eastwood once served as...
\ mayor
\ governor
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: John.
John: My answer is mayor.
Doug: And that's the right answer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: Mayor of Carmel-By-The-Sea, California. Champ, which card?
John: I'd like the King, please.
Doug: Taking the cowboy...
|
JOHN
|
Doug: ...Michael gets the 9 in the process. Two more cards, Jess.
Jess: And they are...
  |
Jess: ...Queen of Hearts and the Queen of Spades.
Doug: OK, we know John will be 4/5 of the way toward a straight going into the blind card question. Michael will have just Ace high going into the 15-pointer. Right now, 10 really important points hang in the balance. Next question also relates to celebrities and politics...
In politics, former pro wrestler Jesse "The Body" Ventura served as...
\ mayor
\ governor
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: John.
John: I'll say all of the above.
Doug: That's right. (audience applause) We all remember the night he "shocked the world" when he won the gubernatorial election in Minnesota. Before that, he was mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota from the early to mid '90s. Tie score, John. We have to go through the formalities and ask which Queen you'd like.
John: The heart Queen, please.
Doug: Very well...
|
JOHN
|
Doug: ...and as we go to the blind card question, John needs an Ace, 9 or Joker for a straight and anything else for a pair. Michael, the best you can hope for is one pair.
 |
Doug: Anything can still happen as the blind cards are now up for grabs. Fifteen points at stake -- but control of the cards is what you're really after. The question...
In the state of Nevada, you'll find the city of...
\ Joker
\ Jackpot
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Michael.
Michael: Jackpot
Doug: Correct. (audience applause) OK, Michael, gotta hope Lady Luck's on your side. Left or right card?
Michael: I'll take the left card.
Doug: The left's yours.

JOHN

(Ray and a blue-bikini-clad D.J. Hamilton walk from stage left as Jess positions the card)
Doug: Um. (audience cheers) Well. How'd the shoot go, folks?
Ray: (photographer for Net Poker swimwear calendar) Fantastic. D.J. is a natural and the camera loves her.
D.J.: Wish the same could be said for my ex-husbands.
Jess: So, you're the photographer?
Ray: Yes I am. (hands Jess a business card) We'll have to get together sometime for lunch.
Jess: Great. Thanks. I'll bring my photo album and we can--
Doug: Um, excuse me. (audience laughs) Can we talk during the break? We have a game to finish.
Jess: Oh yeah.
D.J.: Tell ya what. (runs over to players' podia; stands between Michael and John; holds their hands) I'll raise the hand of the winning player. Just like they do in boxing or something.
Doug: (sighs and rolls eyes) Why me? (audience laughs) Where were we? Aw, yes. Jess, what's Michael's last card?
 JOHN
|
Doug: Queen of Diamonds. Gives you a pair of Queens. John, you need an Ace, King, 9 or Joker to remain champ. Let's see that last card.
|
JOHN
 |
Doug: Pair of Kings beats a pair of ladies. John, you're still the champ.
|
|

(winning bells; audience applause) (Deej raises John's arm)
Doug: Congratulations, John. You'll play for CY$10,000 and the trip in a moment. First, Michael, I'm sure that you're happy seeing Deej -- even standing next to her.
D.J.: And, guess what. All of tonight's players get photos that will appear in my '06 calendar -- available wherever fine calendars are sold. But, of course, it'll be a while.
|
Doug: You never stop, do ya, Deej? Anyway, John, congrats on your second win. This time you get to pick two letters in "POKER". If you find CY$5000 and CY$2000, you'll collect a CY$3000 bonus. And we still have that Jamaican vacation up for grabs if the "TRIP" card appears above one of your two selected letters.
John: I'll go for the P and the K, please.
Doug: P and K -- will be revealed simultaneously...
|
Doug: ...well, instead of the two highest values, you found the two lowest. Did you find the trip above one of those amount?
|
(bing) (a few groans from the crowd)
Doug: No. It was above the R.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
  |
Doug: That means the Jamaican vacation will carry over to the next show. Meantime, in this show, John plays for CY$50,000 after this.
