Doug: Well. (smattering of applause) Three Kings to start out. That's 15 points if you stopped here. You do have a second turn if you want to take it.
Rob: Doug, I'll hold my 3 wise men, keep an ace up my sleeve, and lose the Queen.
Doug: Very well. You assure yourself of 15 points at least. What number do you think will help you more?
Rob: Let's see what's under # 13, please!
Doug: OK, if 13's hiding another Ace, it's a full boat for 40 points. Another King and it's quads worth 125. What's behind lucky 13?
|
Doug: It's royalty -- but not high enough.

Doug: Still, it gives you 15 points and the lead. Robert, you know what you gotta do. A pair of Queens, Kings or Aces means you tie with Rob and we break the tie at the dice table. Anything better than one pair and you win the round. Let's shuffle.

Doug: Now, with this being your swan song before the Quarter Million Playoff, we'll give you a chance to say hi to anyone you like.
Robert: I would like to say hi to my parents and any of my ladies that know me in college.
Doug: Very well. Five numbers, please.
Robert: 3, 6, 7, 8, 16
Doug: Okie doke...
|
Doug: In a word, "yuck!" Two 9s and Ace-Queen-10. You'll need the second turn. Remember, something better than one pair wins the round; a pair of Queens, Kings or Aces and you go to a tie-break with Rob at the dice table. Make exchanges, please.
Robert: Keep the Ace and pick 1, 2, 10 and 11.
Doug: Interesting way to play it. If there's another Ace behind 1, 2, 10 or 11, we've got a tie. Of course, you hope for a win. Let's see what's behind 1, 2, 10 and 11.
|
Doug: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10 -- adds up to 20 more points, a straight and a winner.

Doug: I would've held on to the Ace and Queen, try to get a matching pair and then the tie-break. But your strategy worked, Robert, and now,...
|
Doug: ... it's time to collect a reward. As you know, behind one of the letters in the word "POKER", we have CY$5000. There are, of course, lesser amounts behind the other letters.
Robert: P
Doug: P it is. Behind the P, we'll add how much more to Robert's winnings?
|
(winning bells; audience cheers)
Doug: (shakes head; shrugs shoulders) What can I say, folks? The rich just get richer.

Doug: Robert, you now have CY$108,100 and if you win Joker Poker, that's three straight wins, another 100-grand and the car we showed you earlier.
Doug: Brian and Rob, when we come back, we'll test your knowledge of titles of scary movies. We'll express those titles in other words. We'll explain more when our Halloween special on Net Poker continues -- provided the folks in the control room aren't visited by an axe murderer.
ADVANCE TO 5-CARD POKER
