5-Card Poker

(new car music plays)

Rich: Any contestant who wins four consecutive games of Net Poker will play for CY$1,000,000 in Deuces Wild Poker. In addition, that player will automatically win -- A NEW CAR!!!!

(audience cheers)



Rich: The Audi R8 Coupe Quattro. This fantastic sportscar comes with a 4.2 liter V8 engine, R-tronic gearbox, double-clutch gearbox, 10-disc CD changer, 1000-watt sound system -- and much more. A prize worth CY$109,400.

Rich: And now, Matt and Matt try to stay in the game in 5-Card Poker. Back to Doug Morris and The New Net Poker.

(more cheers)

Doug: Thanks, Rich. We're back and we have Matt Taylor and Matt Tanga going head to head in 5-Card Poker.

Doug: We've reset the scores to zero -- and now let's get set for our theme in this round.

 
 



THE LAST WORD
 

Doug: The Last Word. I'll give you a false statement such as this...

Marlin Perkins originally hosted "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Parties".

...and what you have to do is buzz in and tell me the actual last word that belongs in that statement. So in this case, you'd buzz in and say "Kingdom".

Each time you chime in and give me the correct last word, you'll earn 10 points and the right to choose one of two up cards for your poker hand. Rememeber, the card you decline goes to your opponent.

Be careful -- because if you give me a wrong word or give me more than one word, the points and control of the cards automatically go to your opponent.

After you each collect four cards, we'll go to the blind card question and play for 15 points. High hand is worth 25 points -- and then we'll have another Poker Run and race to the goal of 100 points.

Matt Taylor cut the deck for this round -- and let's see the first two cards from the top of that deck.

D.J.: The Ace of Hearts and the Queen of Diamonds.

Doug: All righty. Hands on the buzzers and tell me the actual last word that belongs in this statement.

Before turning to politics, Peter Garrett was a member of Midnight Cowboy.

(Matt Tanga buzzes in)

Doug: Matt Tanga

Matt Tanga: Oil.

Doug: That's right.

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: First 10 points of the round are yours -- now you get first choice of the cards.

Matt Tanga: Ace Of Hearts

Doug: Rocket for Matt Tanga...

 


MATT TAYLOR


MATT TANGA



Doug: ...Matt Taylor gets the lady in red. Two more cards are on the way.

D.J.: The 9 of Hearts and the Ace of Clubs.

Doug: Yin and the yang up for grabs with this next statement.

Mark L. Walberg once hosted "The Big Risk".

(Matt Tanga buzzes in)

Doug: Matt Tanga, again.

Matt Tanga: Date.

Doug: Right again.

 

 

 

M. TAYLOR
M. TANGA

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: I've liked his recent work -- but I'm glad he's not hosting TBR. Matt, which card?

Matt Tanga: I'll take the Ace, please.

Doug: Somehow, I'm not surprised.

 


MATT TAYLOR


MATT TANGA



Doug: Matt Tanga now with two Aces. Matt Taylor with Queen-9. Let's see two more cards, please.

D.J.: The King of Clubs and the Queen of Hearts.

Doug: Cowboy and another lady in red with this next statment.

The original mascot for The WB television network was Michigan J. Wolverine.

(Doug shakes head) (light laughter from the crew) (Matt Tanga buzzes in)

Doug: Why me? Matt Tanga.

Matt Tanga: Frog?

Doug: Good guess. That's right. (ding; audience applause) Buckeyes have had the Wolverines' number all but one time ever since Tressel took over and I still get Michigan questions. Anyway, which card?

Matt Tanga: I'll take the Queen, please.

Doug: Well -- since you said please we'll let you have it.

 


MATT TAYLOR


MATT TANGA



Doug: With that, Matt Taylor's still in line for a King high straight. Matt Tanga still has a pair of Aces. Two more cards, please.

D.J.: The 10 of Clubs and the King of Diamonds.

Doug: All right. Matt Taylor, you really could use some points. I see ya try and buzz in. The other Matt's been hotter on the trigger. Next statement.

"America's Next Top Model" is hosted by Tyra Yelloribbin.

(Matt Taylor buzzes in)

Doug: Matt *Taylor*.

Matt Taylor: Banks.

Doug: Correct.

 

 

 

M. TAYLOR
M. TANGA

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: (sings) Tyra Yelloribbin 'round the old oak tree.

(light laughter from the crowd)

Doug: Which card?

Matt: I'll take the king.

Doug: And as we head into the blind card statement...

 


MATT TAYLOR


MATT TANGA



Doug: ...Matt Tanga has two Aces, Matt Taylor with two Kings. Final two cards for the round are coming.

Doug: Now we up the stakes to 15 points. High hand collects 25. Remember, again, you're jockeying for position ahead of the Poker Run. Here's the 15-pointer.

In the game of Roulette, the number 35 is colored beige.

Matt Tanga: Umm, Black?

(Matt Taylor buzzes in)

Doug: Had to buzz in. Matt Taylor, your response, please.

Matt Taylor: Black.

Doug: That's right.

 

 

 

M. TAYLOR
M. TANGA

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Well, we have a virtual tie. Player with the high hand's going to have the advantage going into the Poker Run. Left or right?

Matt Taylor: Left.

Doug: Left card it is.

 


MATT TAYLOR


MATT TANGA



Doug: Now with the cards in place, let's see who's going to be 25 points richer. Matt Taylor, a King would be great; a Queen or 9 would help. Anything else and we know Matt Tanga will collect 25 points. Deej, what's Matt Taylor's last card?

 


MATT TAYLOR


MATT TANGA



(smattering of cheers)

Doug: The 9 of Diamonds. Two pair. Matt Tanga, still a reasonably good shot to win the 25 points. Ace would do it for sure -- a Queen or 10 would give you a better two pair situation. Deej, let's see which Matt is going to win 25 points.
