 MATT        ROBERT      |
(D.J.'s eyes and mouth open wide in shock) (audience cheers)
Doug: Would you look at *THAT*?!?! We had a double Joker situation in the blind cards. Now, folks, let me explain this -- since this has never happened in six years here on Net Poker.
Had both Jokers come down the chute *before* the 15-point blind card question, the player who chimed in and answered the *10*-point question correctly would have also won CY$10,000. Had both Jokers come down the chute *after* the 15-point blind card question, we'd call them face cards and make each question worth 25 points in the Poker Run -- with the winner of the game also winning CY$10,000.
The fact of the matter is -- both Jokers were up for grabs *during* the 15-point blind card question. And Matt, Robert, the rule is...

Doug: ...you *EACH* win CY$10,000. (more cheers) But what this also means is that we'll call both Jokers Jacks -- meaning Matt's King-high straight beats Robert's trip Jacks. Matt was just awarded 25 points for the high hand.
One more thing. The double Joker bonus was originally CY$5000 -- but in the midst of upping the ante on just about everything else on this show, we doubled the bonus to CY$10,000 in the process.
(Doug catches breath)
Doug: Now, we all have to settle down from all this excitement -- and find a winner in the Poker Run.
|
Doug: Remember, no adjustments are made to the scores. Questions are worth 15 points each -- however, we increase the value to 20 points if one of the next two cards is a face card. If both cards are royalty, we play for 25 points a question. Let's go to our Poker Run cards.
D.J.: And I thought I was going to have grandchildren before two Jokers were up for grabs at the same time.
(audience laughs and applauds)

D.J.: The Queen of Spades and the 10 of Hearts.
Doug: OK, the Queen ups the ante to 20 points a question. Matt's three away from the win. Robert's four away from the win. Best of luck, fellas. Here we go.

Doug: Carlton was Alfonso Ribeiro's character on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air". Matt, we'll play for the big cyber-money in a bit.
Robert, *so* close to victory. But you're certainly not leaving us empty handed. You got CY$7500 from the last round, CY$10,000 from the double Joker blind card situation -- and CY$950 for your 95 points. This has to be the most cyber-money we've paid out to a runner-up -- CY$18,450.
Doug: Congratulations and thanks for playing The New Net Poker.
