Doug: ...Video Poker. Now, as always we commence the round with five questions. Each time you buzz in and pick the right answer to its question, you win 10 more points. Then you'll have a chance to win much more at the video screen. Right now, let's start the game with the questions..
In the year 1978,...
\ the Dallas Cowboys won the Super Bowl
\ Animal House played in theaters
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Chris.
Chris: All of the Above
Doug: Right for 10.

\ none of the above
Doug: Michael.
Michael: Parker Stevenson
Doug: That's correct.

Doug: The other was played by Shawn Cassidy. Gus, chance to make this a three-way tie.
When making a list of all NASCAR drivers who currently race for Richard Childress Racing, you must include...

Doug: Mark drives for Jack Roush -- and I think Sterling drives for Felix Sabates. But in any event, all you had to say was "none of the above". From sports, we go to music...
"There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold" is the first line of...
\ the song "Stairway To Heaven"
\ a number one hit song by Led Zeppelin
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Michael.
Michael: the song "Stairway To Heaven"
Doug: Just did beat Chris to the buzzer. You're right for 10 more.

Doug: "Stairway To Heaven" is arguably Led Zep's most popular song -- but it was never released as a single. One more question and we go to the video screen...
A television version of Ripley's Believe It Or Not was hosted by...
\ Dean Cain
\ Jack Palance
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Gus.
Gus: All of the above.
Doug: That's right.

Doug: And that was our fifth question of the round. Good close game so far. Chris with 20 points. Michael and Gus tied with 30. Time now to go to the video screen and visit the Mary Lou Basaraba to my Art James -- D.J. Hamilton.
(light laughter from the crowd)
D.J.: Guess you saw that old Pay Cards clip on the Page o' Clips.
Doug: Oh, yeah. Pretty cool stuff.
|
D.J.: In any event, players, you'll each take up to two consecutive turns at the video screen. On the first turn, pick five numbers and we'll reveal the cards behind your selections. As always on Net Poker, we play with the Ace through 9 of each suit.
If you're happy with the hand you made, take the points associated with the combination and pass control to another player. However, if you want that second turn, make exchanges. Keep in mind once you're done with the second turn, you're done for the round.
|
D.J.: And Doug, we pay CY$20 for a pair, three of a kind pays CY$50...
Doug: Oh, stop!
D.J.: Actually, you'll be awarded 5 points for a pair -- assuming you get more than a pair of Jacks. You can see the rest of the conversion chart. And in the event you'll make a natural royal flush in this or any other round, you'll receive as a bonus CY$100,000 and this. Tell 'em Rich.
Rich: 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: Mighty fine car. Chris, you're low man on the totem pole right now. So you'll start first. Before you start, tell Mr. and Mrs. Internet and all the ships at seas about yourself.
Chris: My name is Chris J. Clark, I live in Michigan. I am currently a freshman at Delta College in Saginaw, MI studying in Graphic Design. I was part of a quiz bowl team that placed 8th and 15th in national competition for the past two years.
Doug: All right. Well, congratulations on your victorys in the quiz bowl, good luck in your studies and good luck here in Net Poker. Pick five numbers please.
Chris: I'll pick 7, 12, 15, 22, and 24.
Doug: Very well. Remember, as long as you don't suffer a five-point penalty on this possession, you'll be in it mathematically. So, let's reveal 7, 12, 15, 22, and 24.
|
Doug: Well, a pair of Jacks and King-Queen-9. This hand would indeed knock you out of contention for this round if you stopped now. So, please make exchanges.
Chris: Oh what a bad hand! Let's be rid of all of the clubs and let's replace them with 4, 13, and 20.
Doug: OK. Chris hangs on to the Hearts. What's joining the cowboy and the knave?
|
Doug: Another Jack and *two* Aces.
