David, Stephen, Graham
Doug: Eddie.
Eddie: Crosby, Stills and Nash.
Doug: That's fine -- first names of the trio's members. Right for 15.
Doug: Well, we have a virtual tie, Eddie. Player with the better hand is going to have the lead before the Poker Run. Which card?
Eddie: I'll try the right.
Doug: Trying the right card.

Doug: All right, we'll check Chris's last card first. Chris, a Jack or a King is what you need to complete the straight. Anything else -- and we know for sure Eddie has the better hand. D.J., let's see Chris's last card first.

(a few groans from the crowd)
Doug: Ten of Spades won't help. With the other natural 10 and the Joker, you have, at best, three 10s. With two natural Kings and a Joker, Eddie wins the 25 points.

Doug: Just for fun, what was Eddie's last card?
|
|
CHRIS EDDIE  |
|
Doug: Lady in red -- Queen of Diamonds. OK, Eddie leads 50 to 30. But we need to race to 100 points. Let's get there with the Poker Run.
|
|
|
Doug: To refresh your memory, each question is worth 15 points. However, if one of these next two cards from the deck is a face card, we'll play the Poker Run at 20 points question. If both are royalty, it's 25 points a question.
May we have the cards for the Poker Run, please.
  |
D.J.: And we have the Ace of Hearts and the Queen of Hearts.
Doug: So we'll go for 20 points a question. That means Eddie is three right answers away from becoming our champion. Chris needs four.
Let's crown our new champion with this Poker Run -- now!
