Doug: Well, encouraging beginning. (smattering of applause) Three Kings. Three of a kind is worth 15 points. You could stop and take the points -- or make some exchanges and try and do better.
Jay: I'm going to trade the 10 and Ace for numbers 6 and 8, please.
Doug: Smart way to do it. The Ace and 10 go into the dumpster and what joins the three cowboys now?
|
Doug: A Queen and a 10. Well, nothing gained further...
|

Doug: ...but you did collect 15 more points and you enjoy the lead for now. Now, we have a tie between Robert and Joe. Player to the left takes the tie-breaker edge in terms of who plays next. Robert that's you. Ah, but first, we have to shuffle the cards...
|
Doug: ...and now, time for you to pick five numbers.
Robert: 1, 3, 14, 17, 22
Doug: OK, let's reveal...
|
Doug: A pair of Queens. That's worth 5. Robert, if you stopped here, you'd tie Jay. If you feel you can do better, you may make exchanges.
Of course, I should also note you have the King through 10 of Spades. (holds up car keys) Trade that Queen of Clubs for an Ace of Spades and you have a Porsche Cayenne Turbo in your garage. So, what's your pleasure -- take 5 points or make exchanges?
Robert: I'll only keep the two Queens.
Doug: Oh, yeah, like you wouldn't hang on to a sure thing! (audience laughs) The three Spades you declined are now history. Go ahead and pick three new numbers.
Robert: I'll now take 7, 11, and 21.
Doug: (looks offstage) Just checking to see if L.J. McKay's here with his ambulance -- in case one of those numbers has the Ace of Spades. (light laughter from the crowd) Anyway, let's see 7, 11 and 21.
|
Doug: Once again -- all cards of black suits. Unfortunately, we don't give extra points for that. By the way, for those playing at home, where was that Ace of Spades?
|
Doug: Eh, you were in the neighborhood.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: But, you get 5 points for the two Queens. Joe, here's the situation. If you end up with a pair of Queens, Kings or Aces, we'll have a three-way tie-breaker with Dice Poker. Anything worse than a pair of Queens and Jay and Robert go to Dice Poker to break their tie. Any two pair or better and you win the round. Let's shuffle up...
|
Doug: ...and now you get to *deal* with the board. Pick five numbers, please.
Joe: I'll have 2, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
Doug: Going with single digit numbers. Let's see what they yield...
|
Doug: ...pair of 10s. Joe, if you stopped here, we'd have to take 5 points away and then Jay and Robert go to Dice Poker to break the tie. So, with that, go ahead and make exchanges.
Joe: Okay, dump the 9, the King and the Queen and let me have 3, 4 and 16.
Doug: All right. He hangs on to the 10s. What's joining those 10s?
|
Doug: Two 9s! That's two pair for 10 more points. Joe, you've won the round.

(winning bells; audience applause)
Doug: Close round and well played by everyone. But Joe, you're going to the video screen for up to CY$5000 and perhaps a tropical trip.
|
Doug: Behind the letters in the word "POKER" are five different cyber-cash prizes ranging in value from CY$500 to CY$5000. In a moment, I'll ask you to pick a letter in "POKER" and you'll collect the cyber-cash behind the letter.
In addition, above one of the letters in "POKER" is a trip card. If that card appears above your selected letter, you'll use the cyber-cash you won to spend on souvenirs on this trip. Ghost of Jay Stewart, where could he go?
TGoJS: A trip to Jamaica. (audience cheers) You and a guest will fly first class, round trip to Negril, Jamaica where you'll spend six nights at a luxury hotel. Lay on the beach, snorkel, dive, fish or sail in this thriving vacation paradise. Enjoy Jamaica -- compliments of Club Universe.
Doug: Indeed, mighty nice prize. Pick a letter.
Joe: I'll go with the R.
Doug: The R. First, let's see what behind the R.
|
Doug: Two-grand. Now, let's see if he'll go to Jamaica.
|
Doug: Close. It was above the E. (smooth jazz theme plays) But, still, CY$2000 is yours to keep no matter how you finish in the game. Jay and Robert, standby for 5-Card Poker. The winner there faces Joe for the championship. That's all coming up on Net Poker.
(audience applause)
ADVANCE TO 5-CARD POKER
