Rich: The championship's on the line. Brian and Matt play Joker Poker where one of them could win CY$25,000 -- plus a side pot worth CY$15,000. Back to Doug Morris and The New Net Poker.
Doug: Thanks, Rich. Add all that to the CY$80,000 that could be won in Deuces Wild and you're talking about CY$120,000 that either Brian or Matt could collect. Nothing like giving our accountant, Sam, a neverending series of Maalox moments.

Doug: Scores are reset to zero. Once again, the goal is 100 points.
Joker Poker plays just like 5-Card Poker. Big difference is that there are now two Jokers in the deck. If you have a Joker in your hand, you may use it for anything when your hand is complete.
So, let's begin this question to 100 with...
|
Doug: ...What's Missing. I'll show you a list of items that fit a particular subject. One item in that list is missing. You have to come up with the missing item.
Each list is worth 10 points -- 'til we get to the blind cards. Then the list will be worth 15. High hand is worth 25. Poker Run then determines our champ.
Because Brian won the first round, he cut the cards for this round. Let's have a look at the first two cards of this deciding round, Deej?
  |
D.J.: The King of Hearts and the Queen of Spades.
Doug: Two face cards up for grabs -- and here comes the first list.
I'll show you two of the three words represented by the letters STP -- as in the name of the car care product -- and you tell me what's missing.
|
Doug: Brian.
Brian: Super.
Doug: Sorry, the S in STP stands for Scientifically. That means Matt collects the 10 points by default. (ding) And with the points come the right to pick a card. Which one Matt?
Matt: King me please.
Doug: King you? You've got the wrong show. The New Net Checkers is just down the hall.
Doug: We knew what you were talking about. OK, Matt gets a cowboy, Brian a lady and we need two more cards.
D.J.: The 10 of Hearts and the 9 of Diamonds.
Doug: OK, same song, different verse. Here's the next query.
I'll show you two of the three words represented by the letters STP -- but this time, as in the identity of a rock band -- and you tell me what's missing.
Doug: Matt.
Matt: Pilots.
Doug: Just beating Brian to the buzzer for another 10. (ding; audience applause) Which card would you like?
Matt: 10 please
Doug: Very well...
Doug: More natural Hearts for Matt higher than a 9 and he's a millionaire. Next two cards, please.
(smattering of cheers)
D.J.: The Joker and the King of Clubs.
Doug: First Joker in the round. Let's see who gets the wild card and the 10 points.
Six former Presidents of the United States have James or Jimmy as his first name. I'll list five of these leaders -- and you tell me who's missing.
Doug: Brian.
Brian: A fellow Tennessean -- James Knox Polk.
Doug: That's right.
Doug: Brian's on the scoreboard now. Which card would you like -- as if I had to ask?
Brian: I need to take that Joker.
Doug: Thought ya might.
Doug: Matt, ends up with two natural Kings. Brian could end up with a King high straight. Next pair before the blind cards, please.
D.J.: The Jack of Diamonds and the King of Diamonds.
Doug: Well, this gets really interesting suddenly. Important question coming...
It's a sunny day and you're at the top of the Empire State Building. I'll list four of the five states you'll be able to see from that view -- and you tell me what's missing.
Doug: Matt.
Matt: Connecticut.
Doug: That's the state. (ding; audience applause) You're leading 30-10, Matt. Which card?
Matt: King.
Doug: And going into the blind card question...
Doug: ...Brian's going to need a King to make a straight and possibly win 25 points. Matt's building on three natural Kings. Could end up with quads or a full boat. Let's bring on the next two cards.
Doug: And now let's up the ante to 15 points and get "fired" up for this question.
Before his reality series went all-celebrity, Donald Trump hired six different businesspeople on "The Apprentice". I'll list five of those he hired -- and you tell me who's missing. And since reality show contenders are often identified by first name only, that's how we'll list the apprentices; you may give me the first and/or last name of the missing apprentice.
(time passes) (buzz buzz)
Doug: Ah great, it's gonna be "Celebrity Apprentice" forever. (audience laughs) I knew Donald Trump should've made an effort
to bring the "Trump Card" game show back to TV -- but nnnnnNNNNOOOOOooooo.
Doug: The missing apprentice's name is Kelly Perdew. Kelly won Season 2.
All right, we move on to a new blind card question. They'll stay right where they are. Let's see what ya know about video games.
At certain intervals of the video game Super Mario Bros. 2, you as the player are asked to be one of four characters of the game. I'll list three of the characters of which you may choose from -- and you
tell me who's missing.
Brian: That would be Luigi, the more underrated of the Mario Bros.
