Doug: Kevin off to an impressive start with 50 points, Deo still at 10. Melanie, chance to catch up comes now as we turn it over to Deej and the next phase of the round.

D.J.: All right, Kevin, Deo and Melanie, behind these numbers are the Ace through 9 of each of the four suits. Each of you may take up to two consecutive turns at the video screen. On your first turn, you may select up to five numbers and we'll reveal the cards hidden behind the numbers.
If you like the hand you've made, take its value in points and pass control to another player. If you want to try to improve your hand, you may exchange some or all cards for new ones.
|
|
|
|
D.J.: Just one pair of Jacks or anything less takes five points away. Just one pair of Queens, Kings or Aces is worth an additional five points.
Two pair will give you 10 points, three of a kind for 15, a straight for 20, a flush for 25, a full boat for 40, quads get you 125 and a straight flush for 250.
Also if you're lucky to get a royal flush in this round, you score 1000 points. And in any round, if you make a natural royal flush, you win a bonus of CY$1,000,000.
Doug: All right, thanks, Deej. As we play our second phase, we'd like to get to know our players -- starting with Melanie.
Melanie: Hi, I'm Melanie and I'm a stay-at-home mom with two great kids and a great husband ... and I *love* me some Bunco.
Doug: Ladies love that three-dice game. Let's see how you are at our *card* game. Five numbers, please.
Melanie: Let's start with 1, 6, 9, 16 and 20.
Doug: All right, let's have a look.

(FF reveal sfx) (scattered woahs, gasps and cheers from the crowd)
Doug: Man alive! Kevin had great luck with the questions. You, Melanie, might have great luck with the cards. You have the Ace, King and 10 of Clubs -- as well as the Queen of Spades and the 9 of Hearts.
Stopping now means a loss of 5 points. I have a sneaking suspicion you'll take that second turn -- and I have a further suspicion on what you're ditching.
Melanie: Uhhhh, yeah, let's hang on to the clubs. Let's try 5 and 10 and hope for the best.
(drum roll) (scattered cheers)
Doug: All right, Melanie...
if
the
5
and
10
hold
the
remaining
clubs
higher
than
a
9,
you
win
one

points
*and*

Let's

(FF reveal sfx) (Trivia Trap sfx) (loud groans from the crowd)
Doug: Oh -- my. *So* close to a blowout lead and a big payoff. You drew the Queen of Clubs -- and then you got the 10 of Diamonds. Where on earth was that Jack of Clubs?

Doug: Down in the corner -- 24.

Doug: Well, Melanie, I think you did the right thing. If I were playing normal video poker and got three out of the five cards needed for a royal flush, I'd hang on to them, too.
You're still in the round -- even though you're five points in the hole. That debt will eventually be forgiven when we start our Poker Run. Deo, ball's about to be in your court -- after we shuffle the cards.

Doug: Now before your choose numbers, let's get the story on Deo.
Deo: Hi. My name's Deo. I'm 13. Came from Jakarta, Indonesia. I'm a student.
Doug: All right, great to have you here from Indonseia. Time to draw some cards from the board. Five numbers, please.
Deo: 6 13 17 21 8 12
Doug: Well, that's six numbers. I'm -- afraid we're going to have to ignore the 12 and reveal the first five you called for. So let's see what's behind 6, 13, 17, 21 and 8.
