Rich: The championship's on the line. Todd and Matt play Joker Poker where one of them could win CY$20,000 and a trip to South Padre Island, Texas. Back to Doug Morris and Net Poker.
Doug: Thank ya, Rich. Well, folks, this is the round our two finalists have been waiting for. As Rich alluded to, 20-grand can be won in three easy picks. That coupled with an CY$82,500 jackpot win in Deuces Wild means entry into the Mega Playoff for CY$1,000,000.

Doug: Todd, Matt, the theme for Joker Poker is, as always, General Knowledge Multiple Choice. I'll give you a question and four possible answers. Chime in with the right answer and you earn 10 points and a choice of an up card.
We keep that up 'til each player has four cards -- then a 15-point blind card question. We award 25 points to the player with the better hand. Higher point total wins the game and the right to play for CY$82,500.

Doug: Todd won the first round -- and earned the right to cut the cards for this important round. First two cards for this round are a-comin' down the chute.
  |
D.J.: And we start this round with the Ace of Spades and the 10 of Hearts.
Doug: And here's the first question of the round. Good luck.
The word "muggle"...
\ relates to mortals in books by J.K. Rowling
\ was a slang term for a marijuana cigarette
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Matt.
Matt: Relates to mortals in books by J.K. Rowling
Doug: Sorry, not right. Todd, chance to steal.
Todd: All of the above
Doug: That's right.

Doug: All I'm saying is you know there's something not quite right about a book signing with J.K. when it's scheduled to start at 4:20.
(audience laughs) (Doug tosses away question card)
Doug: Champ, please pick a card.
Todd: Ace
Doug: Rocket for Todd...
 TODD   MATT |
Doug: ...and the 10 goes to Matt. Two more cards, please.
  |
D.J.: The Queen of Diamonds and the Jack of Spades.
Doug: Another 10-point question coming. The question's a little long -- so play carefully.
Robert Foxworth and Elizabeth Montgomery were...
\ once married to each other
\ Allen Ludden's first two guest stars in the debut week of "Password Plus"
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
(time passes) (buzz buzz)
Doug: Answer's all the above. They lived together for about 20 years before tying the knot in 1993. The marriage ended in her death in '95. Robert and Elizabeth were the celebrity players on the maiden voyage of "Password Plus" in its 1979 debut.
We'll move to another 10-pointer.
When making a list of every woman who has raced in the Indianapolis 500, you must include...
\ Shanna Robinson
\ Sarah Fisher
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Matt.
Matt: Sarah Fisher
Doug: That's it and we're tied at 10. (audience applause) Other women who've raced in the 500 include Janet Guthrie, Lyn St. James and Danica Patrick. And wouldn't ya know, they gave me *another* Fred Scott joke.
(audience laughs) (Doug tosses away question card)
Doug: Why me? (more laughs) Which card, Matt?
Matt: QD
Doug: QD?
D.J.: He means the Queen of Diamonds.
|
TODD MATT |
Doug: Gotcha. Todd with Ace-Queen, Matt has Jack-10 -- and we have two more cards.
  |
D.J.: 10S and AH -- also known as the 10 of Spades and the Ace ofHearts.
Doug: And no Jokers as yet this round. They're somewhere in the deck. Next question...
The controversial song "I Want Your Sex"...
\ was a hit for George Michael
\ comes from the "Beverly Hills Cop" soundtrack
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Matt.
Matt: A George Michael Hit
Doug: Right.

Doug: Song comes from "Beverly Hills Cop II" soundtrack as well as George's album "Faith". The song won a Razzie award in 1987. Matt, you're in the lead -- which card?
Matt: Ace
Doug: Breaking up the chance at a pair...
|
TODD MATT |
Doug: ... for -- you as well as Todd. Next up cards are comin' down.
  |
D.J.: The 10 of Diamonds and the King of Diamonds.
Doug: OK. One player will have a pair of 10s, the other will be 4/5 of the way toward a straight. And did I mention the Jokers in the deck? Next question...
Jake Gyllenhaal was in the movie...
\ "Vanilla Sky"
\ "Jarhead"
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Todd.
Todd: jarhead
Doug: That's it. (audience applause) Jake was also in "*October* Sky". Todd, we're tied at 20. Which card?
Todd: 10
Doug: The 10 goes to the champ.
|
TODD MATT |
Doug: Matt gets a cowboy. Now we set up for the blind card question.
 |
Doug: Question's worth 15 points -- but control is important. The player who ends up with the high hand will win the game. So, good luck, play carefully and here we go.
Before Jesse Ventura became Minnesota governor, he was a...
\ professional wrestler
\ bodyguard for the Rolling Stones
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Todd.
Todd: all
Doug: We'll take that. All of the above is right.
|
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: If I'm not mistaken, during Ventura's time as governor, he declared a Rolling Stones day in Minnesota. OK, Todd, you have the lead for now. Trick is to hang on to it. Will the left or right card pad that lead and win the game for you? Pick a card.
Todd: left
