(audience applause)

Doug: Will, as you take 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 need two pair to tie. Anything better than two pair to win the round. Board's ready for your five picks.

Will: Tables are turned, now I gotta pick numbers. Let's start with 6, 12, and 19. For the others -- I'll take yo (11), and the centerfield forty-five (9).

Doug: (looking perplexed) Huh? (light laughter from the crowd) Anyway, let's reveal 6, 9, 11, 12 and 19.

 




(FF reveal sfx)

Doug: Pair of ladies. Only worth 5 points. You'll need to make exchanges to win the round. Remember, if you tie Andy, we go to Dice Poker.

Will: Now understanding the tiebreak situation, I feel alright trying for two pair. I will keep the queens, along with....... the king.......... oh heck, let's make the odds a little better, I'll keep the ace. 8/19 with one guess is a little better than 5/19 + 5/18, IMO.

Alright, I'd like the horn high ace-deuce. Craps 3, please.

Doug: OK, let me make sure I understand your move. You want to lose the 9 of Clubs and trade it in for the card that's behind #3 -- right?

Will: Yes sir.

Doug: Very well. Let's lose the 9 and see card #3.

 




(FF reveal sfx)

Doug: Pair of cowboys and a pair of ladies.
