Game 26's Deuces Wild PokerDoug: We're back on Net Poker -- and we now have unfinished business with our main game champion, Robert.
Doug: You've been here before -- and know we've randomly hidden ten Outlaw cards. One outlaw on the top row, two on the second, three on the third and four on the last row. The more Deuces you win, the better the shot at making a CY$20,000 royal flush.
But of course, win all four Deuces and you collect all the loot in the progressive Outlaw's Jackpot -- presently located at the top of the board -- CY$82,500.
Doug: Hit that jackpot and your winnings will total almost CY$90,000. You'd be more than CY$10,000 shy of qualifying for the next Quarter Million Playoff here on Net Poker. Good luck, let's start at the top row and play for the Deuce of Spades.
Robert: 1
Doug: Number 1. Let's get this man off to a great beginning.
(outlaw says "YEEEEE-hawwww!") (loud groans from the crowd)
Doug: Oh, man! The one number you didn't want to choose at the start and you picked it. Well, the good part is we've gone ahead and added CY$2500 for running into the Outlaw. But the pot's out of play.
Let's concentrate on winning CY$20,000 and rack up some Deuces. Next row's for the Deuce of Hearts.
Robert: 7
Doug: Come on -- let's see if it's a lucky seven.
(outlaw says "YEEEEE-hawwww!") (louder groans from the crowd)
Doug: Huh boy. Robert, earlier in this miniseries, we made history with a tie for high hand in a tournament 5-Card round -- and no bonus was awarded as a result. I don't want you to make more history here by failing to win a Deuce.
Let's go for the Deuce of Clubs on the third row.
Robert: 15
Doug: OK... come on... no Outlaw at 15.
Doug: There we are.
Doug: Island Girl Deej puts that Deuce for you on the board. Last row's the toughest to win a Deuce. Good luck.
Robert: 21
Doug: Stands to reason Mr. Net Gambit goes for 21.
(outlaw says "YEEEEE-hawwww!") (groans from the crowd)
Doug: And unfortunately, you bust with 21. Well, this is not the first time we've had a winner of one Deuce. Let's reveal where the other seven Outlaw cards were.
Doug: Huh-kay. When we get back to Studio 63, you or someone else will play for CY$90,000. But now, let's concentrate on winning CY$20,000.
Doug: These are the first two cards from the top of the deck of cards you cut during the break. You'll choose one and the other will be discarded immediately. We'll repeat this process three more times.
Doug: Hopefully you'll have cards higher than a 9 all of the same suit and you'll win the CY$20,000. (audience cheers) So where do we start. Left or right?
Robert: Left
Doug: The left. Deej, let's start this man off on the right foot.
D.J.: They don't come much better. (audience cheers) Ace of Diamonds.
Doug: Well, your mission for 20-grand's been defined.
Doug: Royalty and/or 10 of Diamonds. Let's get two more cards.
Doug: There they are. Let's hope one of them keeps you alive for a royal flush. Left or right?
Robert: Left again.
Doug: Left again. Diamond again?
D.J.: Sorry, Robert. Not again. King of Spades.
Doug: OK. Best you can hope for is CY$2000 for quads.
Doug: Two more Kings or Aces are what you need for the two-grand.
Doug: And these are your next two cards. Which one do you think will help?
Robert: Left.
Doug: Third time going left. Let's see it.
D.J.: Jack of Hearts.
Doug: Oh, dear. Robert...
Doug: ...best you can do now is CY$750. If you draw a 10 or Queen, that's a straight. An Ace, King or Jack means three of a kind for CY$500. A 9 means -- well -- let's just say you don't want to draw a 9.
Doug: There's the last pair. Left or right?
Robert: Left, for pete's sake!
Doug: Left, for your sake, I hope is not a 9. D.J., please show us anything other than a 9.
(MG98 Super Match mismatch buzzer; NYSI89 losing horn; audience groans)
D.J.: Sorry. :(
Doug: Oh, Robert. I feared this day would come. A contestant would finish Deuces Wild with a payoff of...
Doug: ...bupkis. (more groans) I'm going to talk to Mr. Mann about getting you a dinner on the house. In the meantime, you did win...
Doug: ...CY$6850. (audience applause) And because you ran into an three outlaws, you built the jackpot up to CY$90,000. When we get back to Studio 63, win two rounds, uncover some good payoffs in each round and then collect the jackpot, you should be in the *next* Quarter Million Playoff.
Doug: When we come back, Andy Geller tries to punctuate *this* Quarter Million Playoff with a big exclamation point. And, oh yeah, we owe him a big fat check for CY$250,000. Our final moments in Tunica after this.
