Deuces Wild Poker
D.J.: Oh, so close. Right rank, right color, wrong suit. King of *Hearts*.
Doug: Rats. Well you knew you'd have at least CY$2000 coming to you for the three Deuces.

Doug: And CY$2000 you have earned. Add that to your prior winnings.
DEAN MICHAEL ![]()

Doug: And you have CY$11,500. (audience cheers) Not enough to overtake Dean's podium position. Dean, your bonus is about to start. First, let's reveal where the other nine outlaws were.

Doug: And they're set. Now, there's a new deck of cards to build a new poker hand if necessary. Dean cut that new deck. But let's see if that deck's not necessarily. Dean, let's start at the top and pick a number, please.
Dean: Let's hope for a Deuce under 2.
Doug: All right. Logical beginning. Is it a good beginning?

(outlaw says "YEEEEE-hawwww!") (audience groans)
Doug: OUCH! Right off the bat -- agony. Well, let's just keep on keeping on. Next row. Next number please.
Dean: 11.
Doug: OK, can we give a Deuce here?

Doug: Ugh! Another outlaw. Dean, 'fraid it gets tougher from here. Three outlaws in the third row. Make it a good pick here.
Dean: 18.
Doug: OK, please no outlaw.

(outlaw says "YEEEEE-hawwww!") (louder groans from the crowd)
Doug: I don't believe this! Hold on a sec. Nelson?
Nelson: (over loud speaker) Yes, Doug?
Doug: Is Dirty Harry in that control room?
Nelson: (over loud speaker) Somehow I'd knew you'd ask. No dirty dealer here.
Doug: Gotcha. Well, Dean, one last chance for a Deuce and you have four outlaws to avoid.
Dean: 23.
Doug: Number 23. Oh I hope this is a good number. *One* Deuce to play with in Deuces Wild. That's all we ask. Let's have a look.

Doug: All right. They there are. Dean, you're going to have a tough road to the royal flush and CY$20,000. I hope you gave the cards a really good cut. Let's bring on the first two.
Doug: There they are. Left or right, Dean?
Dean: Left card first.
Doug: The left card. First good move?
(scattered cheers)
D.J.: Jack of Diamonds. I'd say so.
Doug: Well Jack of Diamonds joins your Deuce of Diamonds.
![]()

Doug: We've got to hope everything else you draw is a Diamond higher than a 9. Next cards come down the chute.
Doug: And it's decision time again. Left or right?
Dean: Let's try the right side next.
Doug: The right side -- also a great Sandra Bullock movie.
(light laughter from the crowd)
D.J.: Honey, "The *Blind* Side"!
Doug: Sorry. Show us a high Diamond.
(audience groans)
D.J.: Rats -- Queen of Spades.
Doug: Eeek. We're going down the food chain in a hurry.

Doug: Best you can hope for is quads. Let's bring on the next two cards.
Doug: Now, you're hoping to draw another Queen or Jack here -- because you'll be assured of at least CY$500 and be in contention for the two grand. So, left or right?
Dean: Right side again.
Doug: The right again. Good move? Let's see.
