Deuces Wild Poker

(audience groans)

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.

 





(FF reveal sfx)

Doug: Now we're going to shuffle the cards.

(outlaws and Deuces are shuffled on the video screen; after shuffling stops, the cards are covered immediately with the 24 numbers)

 





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?

 





(outlaw says "YEEEEE-hawwww!") (audience groans)

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?

(audience laughs)

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.

 





(dings; audience cheers)

Doug: Hey! Ya got one!

 







Doug: Mercy. I don't think anyone's run into four outlaws -- but I'm glad that didn't happen today. Let's reveal where the other pesky outlaws were.

 





(FF reveal sfx)

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.
