Joker Poker
TODD
MATT
Doug: Todd gets the left card and Matt the right. Let's go to Matt first. Matt, a Joker or Queen's going to give you a straight and seal the win. Anything else higher than a 9 gives you a pair. A 9 will spell defeat. Deej, let's see Matt's last card.

Doug: Ack! The one thing you didn't want to see, Matt. I'm sorry. Todd, you've won another game.

Doug: Let's see what card completed Todd's hand.
TODD
MATT
Doug: Oh, Todd, you got a lucky break on the pick. Had you picked the right card, that Ace would've gone to Matt and the 9 to you -- meaning Matt would've won it.
Todd, stand by. I know you want to get to that Deuces Wild round -- because that jackpot represents a golden ticket to the tourney. But we still have some unfinished business before we go there.
Matt, I always hate to see someone be the victim of a snake bite -- and that's what happened here. You don't leave us empty handed. You do collect another CY$200 for the 20 points you scored this round. Total of CY$950 -- and our great thanks for playing. Matt Taylor, everyone.

Doug: All right, Todd, you have more than CY$24,000. Let's see if you can bump that tournament score up to CY$44,000+ before Deuces Wild. We start by letting you choose two letters in the word "POKER". If you find CY$5000 behind one letter and CY$2000 behind another, I'll kick in CY$3000 more. Choose away.
Todd: O R
Doug: O and the R. Let's see the O first.

FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
SIDE POT: CY$10,000Doug: Now for the benefit of those of you who weren't with us, we added a new wrinkle on the last show. As part of our fifth anniversary celebration, we call it the fifth anniversary side pot. We start it at CY$5000 and add CY$5000 for every show it goes unclaimed.
In this case, it went unclaimed the first time the pot was available. Todd, you have to pick a number hiding a card higher than your base card of the 10 of Clubs. Find a card higher than a 10 and you win the CY$10,000 plus this.

Rich: A trip to South Padre Island. (audience cheers) You and a guest will enjoy a six-night stay at a luxury hotel in South Padre Island, Texas. Exciting nightlife, horseback riding, golf, deep-sea fishing and beautiful beaches await you in South Padre Island -- where the party never ends. Compliments of Club Universe.
(more cheers) (music fades)
Doug: Oh, I used to live in San Antonio -- but never made it to South Padre Island. Hope you do. Pick a number.
Todd: 1
Doug: Going right next to that base card. If #1's hiding a Jack or higher, you win. Let's see what's behind #1.

Doug: So that means on the next show, the prize game will feature a new trip and a CY$5000 side pot. (smooth jazz theme plays) But when we come back, Todd plays for CY$82,500 -- more than enough to put him in the Mega Playoff. Come on back and see if he makes it -- after this.
