Doug: And we're back with Net Poker. Marc versus Jay for the championship. As always, in this round, we play...
|
Doug: ...General Knowledge Multiple Choice as our theme. With each question, there are four possible answers -- with the third being "all of the above" and last being "none of the above".
And as the name of the round implies, we have Jokers in the deck -- two as a matter of fact. If you draw a Joker, you may use it for anything when your hand is complete.
Otherwise, this round plays just like the last round. Higher score at the end of the round wins the game and then goes on to the Deuces Wild round for CY$57,500. Marc cut the cards during the break. Let's see those first two cards from the deck.
  |
D.J.: The Ace of Spades and the King of Diamonds.
Doug: Two high cards and this question to start this important round.
Birmingham is a city or town in...
\ Alabama
\ Michigan
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Jay.
Jay: All of the above
Doug: That's right.

Doug: One Birmingham's the biggest city in Alabama, the other is near Detroit. Which card, Jay?
Jay: Ace of spades
Doug: Not a surprise.
 MARC  JAY |
Doug: By the way, I should note the winner of this game plays for CY$10,000 by picking two letters in the word "POKER". Then, we play the prize game. Normally it's for a trip. Instead, it's for double the cyber-money you win from the two letters you choose. So possibly, one of you could win CY$20,000 before going on to the Deuces Wild round. And 20-grand's going to help anyone's tournament score. Let's see two more cards, Deej.
  |
D.J.: The 9 of Spades and the 9 of Hearts.
Doug: Two low cards up for grabs with this. Next questions' kind of long -- so play carefully...
Actor James Denton...
\ defeated four "Desperate Housewives" co-stars in Bravo's "Celebrity Poker Showdown"
\ hosted a Miss America Pageant
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Jay.
Jay: All of the above.
Doug: Sorry, not right. Marc, chance to steal.
Marc: Hosted a Miss America pageant
Doug: That's right. (audience applause) Steven Culp won that particular game of "Celebrity Poker". And Jamie also graduated from the University of Tennessee. Go, Big Orange. Marc, tie score and you control the cards. Which would you like?
Marc: The spade 9.
|
MARC JAY |
Doug: Breaking up Jay's attempt at a flush. Two more cards.
  |
D.J.: The King of Hearts and the Jack of Clubs.
Doug: Two face cards with this next 10-pointer...
When listing TV personalities who've moved from NBC to CBS, you must include...
\ Katie Couric
\ David Letterman
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Jay.
Jay: All of the above
Doug: That's it.

Doug: One was a successful move, the other -- eh, a work in progress. Which card, Jay?
Jay: Gotta take the King of Hearts.
Doug: Cowboy's yours.
|
MARC JAY |
Doug: Marc's 3/5 of the way toward a straight and has just been denied of a pair. Two more cards.
  |
D.J.: The Jack of Hearts and the 10 of Diamonds.
Doug: Well, either way, Marc's hand's going to be better going into the blind card question. This 10-pointer, however, could make the difference.
During America's bicentennial year,...
\ John "Superbrat" McEnroe won the 1976 U.S. Open
\ "All The President's Men" was playing at a theater near you
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Jay.
Jay: "All the President's Men" was playing at a theater near you.
Doug: Right.

|
Doug: Jimmy Connors was the winner that year. Jay, the control and the conundrum are yours. Which card?
Jay: Tough call... but I can't let him have a pair yet and the straight isn't guarenteed, so give me the Jack of Hearts!
Doug: Jay's betting against the straight.
|
MARC JAY |
Doug: All right. No one has a pair coming into the blind card question. Best Marc can hope for is a straight; best Jay can do is a pair. But, the score is 30 to 10 in the challenger's favor. And as we bring in the last two cards for the round...
 |
Doug: ...this question's worth 15 points. If Jay scores, he becomes the new champion. If Marc scores, it comes down to who makes the better hand. Important question coming...
The USA Network game/variety show "Happy Hour" was hosted by...
\ Moon Unit Zappa
\ Diva Zappa
\ all of the above

Doug: Now, normally we don't play this out -- but we have a possible abnormality. We have not seen any Jokers in this round. If both Jokers appeared on a 10-point question, the player who scored would win CY$5000. But if both of these blind cards are Jokers, you'll each win CY$5000. So, Jay, if you had to go on, which card would you take.
Jay: I'll take the left card please.
Doug: The left card.
|
MARC JAY |
Doug: D.J. puts everything in place. What was the last card for Jay?
|
MARC JAY  |
Doug: Queen. Would've been great for Marc -- but obviously the matter of a double CY$5000 payoff's out of the question. Was the other card a Joker?
|
MARC  JAY |
Doug: Nope, an Ace. Jay would've ended up with the better "Ace high" situation. Well, Marc, sorry to see you go. Jay had a real hot hand in this round. But, you're not leaving us empty-handed. We just gave you another CY$100 for the 10 points you scored in this round. Grand total of CY$5100 and our great thanks for playing.
|
Doug: Jay, congratulations. Let's add to your winnings by choosing two letters in the word "POKER". If the amounts behind your chosen letters add up to CY$7000, I'll kick in CY$3000 more.
Jay: I'll take the K and P please Doug.
Doug: K and P. Let's see K first.
|
Doug: There's CY$1000. Behind B -- I hope 5000.
|
Doug: No -- 500. Total of CY$1500. That could become CY$3000 in a bit -- as we set up the prize game.
|
Doug: Again, we'd normally play for a trip here. But the prize is double the cyber-money you collected from P and K. Your base card is the Jack of Diamonds. Behind at least one of the numbered spaces is another Diamond. Find another Diamond and you'll win CY$1500 more. Which number doubles your cyber-money for the round?
Jay: I'll take number 2.
Doug: Behind 2 we find...
|
(winning bells; audience applause)
Doug: ...10 of Diamonds. (smooth jazz theme plays) You have now CY$3750. Come back to see if he can break the 60-grand barrier. Deuces Wild Poker -- after this.
(audience applause)
ADVANCE TO DEUCES WILD POKER
