Doug: Chuck Norris played a secret agent in the TV movie The President's Man. At the end of this first half of the round, Rick has 40 points, John's in second with 30 and Jay, hang in there. You may catch a lucky break at the video screen.
For that, we turn to President Hamilton.
D.J.: My fellow Americans, every Net Poker player is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of more points. (light laughter from the crowd) And here's how you pursue them...

D.J.: ...behind these numbers are the cards Ace through 9 from each suit. When you have possession of the screen, you'll start it by picking five numbers. We'll then reveal the cards behind your selected numbers.
If you like the combination you made, take the points associated with the hand and pass control to the next player in line. Or, you may take a second chance and exchange some or all the cards for new ones. After that second turn, you're stuck with whatever hand you've got.

D.J.: And as always, the better your hand, the more points you win. You must make at least a pair of Queens -- or else we take back 5 points. The winner of this round could receive a CY$5000 bill -- with my picture on it.
Doug: She's only kidding, folks. Don't forget, there's more at stake. If you make a natural royal flush in this or any other round, you'll receive CY$100,000, a golden ticket to our Quarter Million Playoff and this prize.
TGoJS: For your driving enjoyment, IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR! (audience cheers) The Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Go off-road in style in this fantastic car. It comes complete with six-speed manual transmission, a 500 horsepower engine, a huge 15 square-foot sectioned glass sunroof, a rearview camera and much more.
(music fades)
Doug: Great stuff indeed. Last goes first. Jay, that's you. Before we start, a word or two about you, please.
Jay: I'm a 19-year-old college student and part-time World of Warcraft addict. Mmmmm, Night Elves...
Doug: "Night Elves" -- wasn't that a Bob Seger song? (audience laughs) I'm showing my age. Anyway, five numbers, please.
(screen freezes) (cut to shot of D.J. Hamilton in her home, sitting on her couch with VCR remote in hand, wearing a pair of jeans and a Net Poker t-shirt)
D.J.: Hi, folks. Think there really was a President Hamilton? Michael Clifford didn't think so and was right. He was the first to call VBS and figure out the faux pas in our hidden contest. Michael, congratulations on winning CY$5000. Now, back to Net Poker -- already in progress.
(D.J. takes video off of pause...back to game)
Jay: 4, 7, 12, 18, 22.
Doug: All right -- let's take a look.

Doug: A pair of Kings and a pair of 9s with a lady. Two pair means ten points if you stopped here. Stopping here would mean you'd secure last place and I don't think you want that.
Not to influence your strategy -- but if you traded the Queen for another King or 9, you'd have a 40-point full boat.
Remember, you're in possession of the video screen. Do with it as you like.
Jay: I'll trade that lady in for a number 24.
Doug: Going for the full boat. Does he complete it with 24?
