Doug: Wow. Andy, a dominating performance on the Three of a Kind category. You ended up getting three 10s in the process -- and now you start and finish the Poker Run on one question. You'll play for some big cyber-cash shortly.
By the way, the make on the car is Mercury.
Matt, terribly sorry. You just ran up against a buzzsaw in this round. We do give you CY$50 as a consolation prize. Add that to what you won earlier -- for a total of CY$1550. A nice hand for Matt Taylor.

Doug: Andy, Deuces Wild awaits you -- but first, please pick two letters in "POKER". If you uncover CY$7500 and CY$5000, I'll double the payoffs for CY$25,000 total.
Andy: The P and the R.
Doug: P and the R. Let's start with the P first.

(scattered cheers)

Doug: Ah, a game we've yet to try -- Highest Spade. Andy, the computer has randomly taken three cards from the Spades suit and randomly placed them behind the numbers. As the name of the game implies, the objective is to find the highest ranking spade among the three. Succeed -- and we pay you off at 2-to-1 odds.

Doug: Now, because this is the *Grand* Gamble, you have to wager at least CY$1000. Maximum bet is CY$4500 -- since that's what you just won in this round. You must bet in increments of CY$500.
How much are ya willing to gamble and on what number?
Andy: CY$3000 on #2.
Doug: Three large on 2. Let's lock that in.
CARD #2

Doug: Now let's have a look at #2. If there's an Ace behind 2, we know for sure you win. If there's a 9 behind 2, we know for sure you're out three large. Let's see what's behind 2.
