Greetings all. Summer's just around the corner. Time to heat things up (finally) with another episode of The New Net Poker. Since we've been away for a while, some notes are in order...
\ Chris Massie returns with one win and CY$43,400.
\ This is Game 44. Even though there was a long delay from now 'til our most recent episode, still, if you played in Game 41, 42 or 43 in the main portion, please sit on your hands and let someone else in on the fun. Can't remember when you played? Go to www.dougmorris.net/poker and check out the archives.
\ Our two progressive cyber-cash prizes -- the Joker's Bonus in Joker Poker and the Outlaw's Jackpot in Deuces Wild Poker -- are worth a combined CY$135,000.
Now it's on to the qualifying query. The two players closest to the right answer, high or low, get to play against Chris. The question...
On February 27, 2010, at 9:00am Central, we watched a GSN rerun of "Chain Reaction". This episode originally aired during its second season on the network. Including the bonus round, the winning women's team collected how much money in this episode? Please respond in hundreds of dollars.
(time passes)
Ah, me thinks you're in for a surprise.

Recall the second season's bonus round offered a chance to win $5000. You can probably figure out the ladies won said bonus. Who's the closest?
Dean Scungio $3700
It's Dean with 3700. And who's the next closest?
Mathias Lamers $3500
It's Mathias. You'll be Player 3. Thanks to everyone else for playing. Hope to sneak in a chance to take on the 24K Video Slot Challenge on Net Poker -- next.
======================================================================
L&O voice guy: On The New Net Poker, contestants deal with two
separate yet equally important personalities: the host, who quizzes
them, and the lovely dealer who distributes the playing cards. This
is their game.

D.J.: (backstage) Gonna miss that show -- but we've got the memories and spinoffs. I'm D.J. Hamilton and tonight, on The New Net Poker, CY$135,000 could be awarded to our continuing winner or one of his challengers. Stick around and see if we deal out some big payoffs!

Scarlett: Challenging him are Dean Scungio and Mathias Lamers. Chris, Dean and Mathias, if any of you make a natural royal flush, you'll win CY$1,000,000 -- in the game of high hands and high rewards. From CDM Enterprises, a division of Trax Productions, this is The New Net Poker.

(audience cheers)Scarlett: And now, here's the star of our show, Doug Morris!
(Doug walks out from behind the video poker screen)
Doug: Hey now! Thanks, Scarlett. Hellooooooooooo, everybody. It's great to be back dealing some Net Poker. We're so ready and raring to go that we're going to dive right into the game. Chris, Dean, Mathias, welcome to this day's game. Let's spot each of you 10 points.

Doug: Now we're going to start our game with Video Poker and our theme of...

|
|

Doug: ...Famous Pairs. I'll ask a series of questions about famous duos -- real or fictional. Each time you chime in and correctly identify a famous pair from the clues I give you, you'll earn 10 points. But be careful -- because if you buzz in and any part of your answer is wrong, we'll have to deduct 10 points from your score.
After five questions, we'll go see Deej for more points. Right now, hands on the buzzers and away we go.
