D.J.: (on her cell phone) Yeah, Jesse. Ed's Garden Shop -- great place. I always go there for... (realizing she's on camera) (audience laughs)...anyway, have you already made there? 'Cause I gotta get back to work. OK, hon. Bye! (hangs up) Welcome back to Net Poker. Here's Doug.
Doug: Thanks, Deej. Joe versus the volcano? Not quite. It's Joe against Tom in Joker Poker.
|
Doug: Gentlemen, the winner of this round wins the game and the chance to play for the CY$57,500 outlaw's jackpot in Deuces Wild Poker.
This works just like the last round -- except that two Jokers are in the deck. If you control a Joker, you may use it for anything when your poker hand is complete.
Joe won the first round -- so he cut the cards during the break. And the first two cards from the chute are coming on down right about now -- assuming Deej can keep her mind off the gardener and on the game!
  |
D.J.: (laughs) The Ace of Diamonds and the Queen of Diamonds.
Doug: And here's the first question in the round. Joe, Tom, good luck. Here's the first 10-pointer of the championship round...
The word "buzz" is an example of...
\ an onomatopoeia
\ a palindrome
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Joe.
Joe: an onomatopoeia
Doug: Fun word to say, isn't it? (light laughter from the crowd) Anyway, that's the right term.
|
|
|
  
|
|
       |
|
Doug: "Onomatopoeia" is defined as the formation or use of words -- such as "buzz", "quack" or "murmur" -- that imitate the sounds associated with the objects or actions they refer to. With that said, champ, which card?
Joe: I'll take the Ace, Doug.
Doug: Champ takes a rocket...
TOM
|
Doug: ...challenger gets a lady. We get two more cards. Deej?
  |
D.J.: The Joker and the 9 of Diamonds.
(a few "oohs" from the crowd)
Doug: Well, this much is for certain. You'll both be 2/5 of the way toward a flush. Next 10-pointer...
The Beatles' #1 hit "Hey, Jude"...
\ topped the pop chart in 1966
\ lasts more than 10 minutes
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Joe again.
Joe: none of the above.
Doug: That's the right answer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: Song was number one in '68 and it's over seven minutes long. Still a good song for me to play when I need to take a coffee break. (audience laughs) Joe, I'm obliged to ask -- which card?
Joe: Yes, friends, it's Jack Barry Time Again. Leave us have the Joker, Doug.
(Doug hums the category reveal cue from TJW) (more laughs)
|
TOM
|
Doug: If "Mystery?" and "Fast Forward Spelling" come down the chute next, I'm going home. (more laughs)
  |
D.J.: (laughs) Well, you'll stick around with the 10 of Hearts and the King of Hearts.
Doug: And with that pair of up cards, Tom, let's see if you get on the scoreboard...
The Andy Griffith Show...
\ is American TV history's first spin-off
\ was spun-off from The Danny Thomas Show
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Joe.
Joe: was spun off from The Danny Thomas Show
Doug: Not the right choice. Tom, chance to steal.
Tom: I'll take a risk with all of the above.
Doug: Good move. That's right.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: You now have points, Tom, and the right to choose a card.
Tom: The card's a tough choice, Doug. I guess I'll take that King.
Doug: Tom takes the cowboy...
|
TOM
|
Doug: ...and Joe gets the 10. We're getting close to declaring a winner here. The 4th pair of cards is on the way.
  |
D.J.: The 9 of Spades and the 10 of Spades.
Doug: Hmm, Tom's probably wishing he could take that 10 back. But, such as it is, here's the next 10-pointer...
Deion Sanders participated in at least one...
\ Super Bowl in the NFL
\ game of the World Series in Major League Baseball
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Tom.
Tom: I believe he did both, Doug.
Doug: I'll take that as "all of the above" -- and you're right.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: Tie score going into the blind card question, Tom. Which card?
Tom: Now, here's a real quagmire. If I take the 9, I get a pair, but he gets three tens, and that really puts the game out of reach. So...I'll take the 10, Doug, and pray that I find a jack in my hole card. I mean, we haven't seen it yet, so there's gotta be a chance.
Doug: (looks at watch) You realize in the time it took to explain all that, Cindy and I could've exchanged our vows.
(audience laughs and applauds)
|
TOM
|
Doug: Uhhhh, anyway, it's blind card question time.
 |
Doug: And as Tom correctly assessed, he needs a Jack to win. Joe, the best you could do is three of a kind. Here it comes for 15 points and the all important control of the cards...
Magician Harry Houdini...
\ was born on Halloween Day (October 31) of 1874
\ died on Halloween Day (October 31) of 1926
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Joe.
Joe: died on Halloween Day (October 31) of 1926
Doug: That's right.
|
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: OK, Joe, you could make three of a kind -- but Tom could also make a straight. Choose carefully.
Joe: I'll take the right card, Doug.
Doug: We'll see in a moment if that was the right move...
|
TOM
|
Doug: ...now, if Tom got a Joker or Jack in the exchange, he becomes the new champ regardless of what Joe has. So, let's baby this up and reveal Joe's fifth card first.
 TOM
|
Doug: A Queen. Well, the champ still has a pair of Aces. Now, all eyes are on Tom's hand...
if
that
last
card
is
a
Jack
or
a
Joker,
Tom
Sabbatelli
becomes
the
new
champion.
Otherwise,
Joe
Van
Ginkel
goes
back
to
Deuces
Wild
Poker.
Let's
see
that
last
card,
D.
J.

TOM
 |
Doug: An Ace. Gives you just Ace high. Joe, you win again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(winning bells; audience applause)
Doug: Congrats, Joe. That's win #2 under your belt. In a moment, you'll play for CY$57,500 in Deuces Wild Poker. Tom, you were a blast to play the game with. You're taking home CY$2000 along with our thanks for playing Net Poker.
|
Doug: Well, champ, you maintain your crown. Now, you get to select two letters in the word "POKER". If you uncover CY$5000 and CY$2000, you'll receive a CY$3000 bonus -- and if the trip card appears above one of your selected letters, you're off to Jamaica.
Joe: I'll take the K.O. (for G-O ;p)
(light laughter from the crowd)
Doug: Next question -- which packet of answers would you like? (more laughter) Let's reveal what's behind those letters.
|
Doug: Total of CY$1500 there. How about Jamaica?
|
Doug: Nope. Which means Deej and Jesse win an all expenses paid trip to Jamaica. (audience cheers) All expenses paid -- by them. (audience laughs) (smooth jazz theme plays) Um, Jesse, hope that credit card's workin' OK, if you know what I mean. (more laughter) Joe has a two-win total of CY$15,750 and we're back with Deuces Wild after this.
