Rich: The championship's on the line. Michael and Robert play Joker Poker where one of them could instantly win CY$10,000 and a trip to San Francisco. Plus, guaranteed to be given away in this round, in celebration of our 25th episode, the winner will receive his weight in silver. Back to Doug Morris and Net Poker.
Doug: Thank you, Rich. Well, here we are -- sooner than expected. As noted earlier, Dustin had to leave us. But we're not letting any marks count against him. Hope to see him real soon on a future show.

Doug: Meantime, Michael and Robert, feel free to relax -- because if you win, you play for CY$77,500. If not, you'll live to play another day. And Michael, you're still eligible for that CY$100,000 payoff plus the car if you win this round.
So, let's start the fun with the first two cards of the round. Michael, BTW, still got to cut the deck for this round.
  |
D.J.: The Ace of Spades and the Jack of Spades.
Doug: And here's the first question of the round. Good luck, all.
When making a list of types of screwdrivers, you must include...
\ round nose
\ flat nose
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Robert.
Robert: None of them
Doug: Sorry, not right. Michael, chance to steal.
Michael: all of the above
Doug: That's it.

Doug: Which card -- as if I didn't know?
Michael: Norman Chad says it's the prettiest card in the deck. I'll take the Ace of Spades.
Doug: Thought you might...
 MICHAEL  ROBERT |
Doug: ...Robert gets the knave and we get two more cards.
  |
D.J.: The King of Diamonds and the 9 of Clubs.
Doug: And the next 10-pointer tests your movie knowledge...
Ewan McGregor was in the cast of...
\ Black Hawk Down
\ Down With Love
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Robert.
Robert: All of the above
Doug: Right for a tie. (audience applause) Makes for a fun Wheel of Fortune puzzle -- "Black Hawk Down With Love". (light laughter from the crowd) Which card, Robert?
Robert: I want the King.
Doug: King you want, King you get...
|
MICHAEL ROBERT |
Doug: ...Michael experience the yin and the yang with one of the highest cards in the deck and one of the lowest. Two more cards, Deej.
  |
D.J.: The Joker and the Jack of Hearts.
Doug: Well, Robert's assured of a pair of something after this question. And... (looks at card) ...it's more than a question, it's a book. So play carefully...
On November 23, 1964, BBC Radio banned the Rolling Stones from its airwaves because of ...
\ news two concerts earlier that month ended in rioting
\ profanity-laced comments from Mick Jagger that were published weeks earlier in Rolling Stone magazine
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Michael.
Michael: none of the above
Doug: That's right.

Doug: Get a load of the real reason. In '64, the BBC banned the Stones from its airwaves after the band arrived late for two radio shows. Moral of the story -- the Beeb waits for no one. Michael, which card?
Michael: Joker
Doug: Easy choice for sure.
|
MICHAEL ROBERT |
Doug: ...Michael has at best a pair of Aces right now. Robert, at worst, a pair of Jacks. Two more cards, please.
  |
D.J.: The Queen of Hearts and the Ace of Diamonds.
Doug: OK, important question for 10...
The late host of the game show Two For The Money was the father of...
\ the host of the game show Small Talk
\ a soap opera actor
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Robert.
Robert: All of the above?
Doug: Good guess, you're right. (audience applause) Herb Shriner was the father of twins Wil and Kin Shriner, host of Small Talk and cast member of As The World Turns, respectively. Kin's been on a few other daytime dramas over the years. Robert, which card?
Robert: I want that Ace.
Doug: Not only did you need the points...
|
MICHAEL ROBERT |
Doug: ...you also needed that Ace. If Michael scored, I'm sure he would've taken that Ace and he would've sewn up the game right there and then. As it is, the score's tied and we're at the blind card question. So, last two cards of the round come...
 |
Doug: ...face down. Michael still building on a potential pair of Aces, Robert's still with a pair of Jacks. Chime in with the right answer and you win 15 points and the right to choose one of the cards. But it's going to boil down to who has the better hand. That player receives 25 points and the win. In Michael's case, it's also CY$100,000 and a new car. Lot riding on this question...
Mike Tyson became the youngest heavyweight titleholder...
\ in 1986
\ at the age of 18
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Robert.
Robert: In 1986
Doug: You're right.

Doug: He got the crown in '86 at 20. OK, Robert, you control the cards. Which one completes your hand?
Robert: The left one
Doug: Left it is...
|
MICHAEL ROBERT |
Doug: ...now let's take a moment to analyze this. Robert, a Jack or Joker gives you three of a kind. An Ace or King gives you two pair. Anything short of those -- and we'll know for sure Michael will complete the field for the Quarter Million Playoff. Important turn of the card, D.J. Let's see Robert's fifth card first.
|
MICHAEL ROBERT  |
Doug: Ten -- it doesn't help. Michael Clifford, welcome to the Quarter Million Playoff.

Doug: Woah, boy. Robert, before we start the celebrating for Michael, let us not forget you'll be back on our next regular edition of Net Poker due to the cancellation of Round 2. I say "next regular edition" because now that Michael's completed the tournament field, we're not sure if we'll be able to start the tourney on the next show.
Rest assured Robert, we'll hold a place for you in the next normal main game. We'll see you then as you try and add to the CY$350 we just gave you for the points you scored this round. Big hand for Robert McBride.
Doug: Oh, almost forgot, what was Michael's last card?
 MICHAEL ROBERT |
Doug: The other Joker. Wow.
Michael, as promised, CY$100,000 and a new car. Also, your weight in silver; we'll take you backstage to get your weight on our scale. You've won three trips already -- including one from an audience game. Let's go for four trips plus some more cyber-cash as well.
