Deuces Wild Poker Doug: We're back and so is Joe Van Ginkel. He's CY$15,750 richer and this is his second visit to the Deuces Wild round. You won CY$10,000 that last time out. Let's see if you can do better. Here's how we play...

Doug: ...behind these numbers we've randomly hidden ten outlaw cards. There's one in the top row, two in the second row, three in the third and four in the bottom row. In a moment, you'll pick one number from each row. Each time you do not draw an outlaw card, you win a deuce. As you know, deuces are wild and can be used for anything when your poker hand is complete.
The more deuces you win, the better the odds you'll win CY$20,000. But, you can do much better. In the event you win four deuces, you collect our outlaw's jackpot worth CY$57,500.
Doug: Good luck, Joe, we want you to send us into a hiatus with a big win. Let's start at the top. Numbers 1 through 6. One outlaw's there. Avoid that outlaw and the Deuce of Spades is yours.
Joe: I'll have 4.
Doug: Number 4. Does he win his first Deuce with 4?

Doug: He does. Good start.

Doug: OK, next row. Numbers 7 through 12. Two outlaws there. Avoid them and you win the Deuce of Hearts. Pick a number.
Joe: I'll have 9.
Doug: Number 9 gives us -- something good I hope.

Doug: Two down, two to go. It's 50-50 time as Bill Griffeth used to say on What's News? Three outlaws on the third row. Numbers 13 through 18. Pick one of the three good numbers and we'll go for the jackpot on the bottom row with three total Deuces in hand.
Joe: I'll have 16.
Doug: Number 16 it is. Does he win the Deuce of Clubs with 16?

(outlaw says "YEEEEE-hawwww!") (audience groans)
Doug: Rats. Well, we have at least CY$60,000 to look forward to when we get back. OK, Joe, last shot at a wild card. Numbers 19 through 24. Four outlaws on that bottom row. Pick one of the two numbers and you win the Deuce of Diamonds.
Joe: I'll have 22.
Doug: Double Deuce -- does it give you three total Deuces?

(outlaw says "YEEEEE-hawwww!") (audience groans)
Doug: Nope. Well you have two Deuces to play with. During the break, we had you cut a deck of cards in the event you'd run into at least one outlaw...
Doug: ...and there are the first two cards from the top of the deck face down. In a moment, I'll ask you to pick a card. We'll turn it face up and add it to the Deuces you've won. This time, the card you decline is discarded immediately. We'll then do this again with the second and third pair of cards from the deck.

Joe: Going with the ol' jab again, Doug. Left.
Doug: Jabbing with the left and he gets what?
D.J.: The King of Spades.
Doug: Well, good start for a royal flush.

Doug: Let's hope for more Spades higher than a 9. Next pair of cards are coming right about...
Doug: ...now. Left or right card?
Joe: Now the cross. Right.
D.J.: Oh, Joe, before I reveal this right card, I meant to tell you if you know of any boxing tournaments coming up and they need a round card girl, let me know.
Doug: Will you get on with it?
D.J.: Oh, the 9 of Spades.
Doug: Well, no chance at a royal flush...

Doug: ...but a straight flush isn't out of the question. Just draw a Spade lower than an Ace and you win CY$5000.
Doug: Which way do we go this time?
Joe: Deej, you couldn't have waited to tell me that back at the NetShowdown set?
D.J.: Hey, you brought up the boxing references. :)
Joe: Finish off with the good night hook. The left.
Doug: The left it is...

Deej?
D.J.: Darn it! (audience groans) Right color, right rank, wrong suit.
Doug: Well, sorry about that. D.J., I'm just curious. What if Joe went with another right cross?
D.J.: Oh, Joe, there it was. CY$5000 on the right.
Doug: Oh well. Joe, as she puts the Queen of Clubs in that last spot, you end up with...

Doug: ...a straight for CY$750. We'll take a break, total everything up for Joe, tell him what's ahead for him -- and some final thoughts before a hiatus after this.
