Doug: One pair of Aces add another 5 points to your total. It's still possible to share the lead going into the Poker Run. Matt, it's about to be your turn after we shuffle.

Doug: Now before you draw your cards, please tell us the Matt Taylor story in about eight simseconds.
Matt: Well I'm Matt Taylor from Maine where the foliage has turned and we're just waiting for the snow.
Doug: Heck, around here, we're waiting for the foliage and to get out of the 90-degree temperatures. (audience laughs) Five numbers, please.
Matt: 3, 4, 17, 20, 22
Doug: All right. Let's have a look.

Doug: Two Kings at 3 and 4 alone will give you five more points. If you stop right now, you'll have the lead and a total of two free letters in the Poker Run.
But, before you make any decision, here's a little something to think about. A score of at least 100 points gives you an additional free letter in the Poker Run. A score of at least 1000 gives you a total of four free letters.
Basically, in order to score more than two free letters, you'd need to make four of a kind, a straight flush or that CY$1,000,000 royal flush. What's your pleasure?
Matt: I'll keep the Kings and go with 7, 13 and 24.
Doug: OK. Even if he dropped one or both Kings, he'd at least clinch a share of first place. Let's see 7, 13 and 24.

Doug: Now, in a three-player Poker Run, the contestants race to collect letters in the word "Poker". Top two players get advantages.
DEAN MATT ANDY ![]()

Doug: Matt, since you had the most points, you collect two free letters as a head start. Dean, you were in second place before the Poker Run's start -- entitling you to one free letter. Andy, unfortunately, no free letters -- but you can make a comeback.
In the Poker Run, we always use multiple choice questions. Chime in with the right answer and you collect a letter. Buzz in and pick a wrong answer -- and your opponents automatically play the next question.
The first player to collect all five letters in "Poker" wins the round and up to CY$7500. Dean, Matt, Andy, good luck. Hands back on the buzzers, please -- because the Poker Run starts -- NOW!
