Doug: No, that King's lady was at 5.

 

 

 

JAY
KOURTNEY
ALAN

Doug: Well, it's better than losing 5. You're going to have to hope your opponents each lose a nickel. Now, before Jay scored, we had a tied for the lead between Kourtney and Alan. Kourtney, since you did better in Indian leg wrestling... (light laughter from the crowd) ...actually, since you did better in the qualifying round than Alan, you'll play next. Let's go ahead and shuffle the cards.

(cards are shuffled on the video screen; after shuffling stops, the cards are covered immediately with the 24 numbers)

 




Doug: OK, Kourtney, they're ready for you. Five numbers, please.

Kourtney: Let's try 2, 9, 13, 14, and 20.

Doug: OK. Let's give them a try and see what hand you make.

 




(FF reveal sfx)

Doug: Well, a pair of Aces. Only 5 more points. Want to stop here or make exchanges? Either way, Alan gets a turn.

Kourtney: Let's exchange the jack and queen for 19 and 21.

Doug: Not feeling risky and wanting to go for the royal flush in Clubs. Kourtney's assured of 5 points -- but are more on the way?

 




(FF reveal sfx)

Doug: Yes!

(audience applause)

Doug: Trip Aces for 15 points. Alan, as we give you command of the video screen...

(cards are shuffled on the video screen; after shuffling stops, the cards are covered immediately with the 24 numbers)

 




Doug: ...you'll need three of any kind to tie. A straight or better gives you victory in this round. Five numbers please.

Alan: Let's go for our old routine of 1,2,3,4,5. The same combination for our luggage.

Doug: I *knew* you'd do that. Let's see the first five cards, please.

 




(FF reveal sfx)

Doug: Ugh! Not even a pair. What are you exchanging?

Alan: Let's go for the straight, trade the 9 of diamonds for what's behind number 6.

Doug: OK, we'll just reveal that one more card. This determines if Alan or Kourtney goes to Joker Poker. Let's complete that row and see what's behind number 6.

 




(FF reveal sfx)

Doug: Another Queen. Only gives you 5 more. Kourtney wins.

(winning bells; audience applause)

Doug: Well, Kourtney, we're about to add some cyber-money to your till. Now normally we'd put the five letters in "POKER" on the board and let you choose one for up to CY$5000. But -- not in this episode. Right, Rich?

(harps play)

Rich: That's right, Doug. Kourtney, you have a chance to win up to CY$10,000!

(audience cheers)

Doug: Oh how sweet this can be. Follow me over here to the Punchboard.
