Doug: Welcome back on what may be the verge of Net Poker history. Robert, currently in second place, drew the cards you see on his first turn as well as the Ace of Diamonds that was at #1 -- which he promptly discarded for #7.
Doug: If it's the 10 of Hearts, Robert McBride wins 1000 points and CY$1,000,000. If it's the 10 of anything else, we'll have a tie for the lead ahead of the Poker Run. Anything else and he clinches second place all to himself.
Let's
find
out
what
is
hiding
behind
number
seven.

Doug: Oooooh! Right rank -- wrong suit. All right, before we go any further, where was that 10 of *Hearts*?

Doug: Robert, you get credit for the straight. That's 20 points. Really, there's good news in this for everyone -- as everyone gets at least one head start letter in the Poker Run.
|

|
|
Doug: Quick reminder, you're racing to collect the five letters in the word "POKER".

Doug: Points have suddenly become letters. Michael and Robert, since you were tied for the lead at 60, you each receive two letters to start. Dean, you clinched second place by yourself -- entitling you to one free letter.
Remember, if you buzz in and pick a wrong answer, only your opponents tackle the next question. Hands back on the buzzers, please -- because the Poker Run starts -- NOW!
