Doug: OK, two Jacks, two 9s and a King. Deo, if you stopped now, you'd only earn 10 more points.
As you take your second turn, remember a full boat will tie Kevin -- with Kevin yet to bat. Four of a kind, straight flush or royal flush will earn you considerably more points.
How do you play it?
Deo: Kill the king and pick 12.
Doug: A checkmate and going to 12 after all. Does 12 hide a Jack or 9?

(FF reveal sfx) (audience groans)
Doug: No, it's a 10.

Doug: Good for another 10 points. Well, first, second and third are decided.
Kevin, you still get a possession of the screen. Keep in mind if you get a total score of at least 100 points, we give you a total of three head start letters in the Poker Run. A score of 1000 or more means four free letters. Otherwise, it's two free letters.
Let's shuffle up and cover up again.

Doug: Now, before we turn you loose, introduce yourself to the folks looking in, please.
Kevin: I'm a 22-year old recent graduate of St. John's University and I'm currently looking for a job. I hope to begin hosting a new net game as soon as I warm up to the basics here first.
Doug: Ah, well best of luck in all you pursue. Five numbers, please.
Kevin: I will take numbers 2, 7, 10, 16, and 22.
Doug: Okie doke, let's see how close you are to a big score.

Doug: Well -- 2/5 of a royal flush in Spades, 2/5 of a royal in Hearts. If you're not feeling *that* adventurous, there's four of a kind you could go for. Remember, the worst that could happen is you lose five points -- and still maintain first place ahead of this round's final phase, the Poker Run.
Kevin: I'll discard the Queen and pick 18, please.
Doug: Ummmm, OK. If you do find another Jack or 10, you'll be up to 90 points. Not enough for a third letter. But let's see if you have a full boat.

Doug: Cowboy. Well you still get 10 points more.

Doug: Second phase of this round's complete. Now let's find our winner in the Poker Run.
|

|
|
Doug: Third and final phase of this first round. We give two of our players a head start based on their standings.

Doug: Kevin, because you had the most points, we give you two free letters in the word "POKER". Deo, you ended the last part of the round in second place; we give you one free letter. Melanie, no free letters unfortunately -- but that five point debt's now forgiven.
In the Poker Run, your objective is to complete analogies. If you chime in and correctly complete the analogy, you earn another letter. If you buzz in and miss, your locked out of the next analogy which the others will tackle.
The first player to score all five letters in "POKER" wins the round and up to CY$7500. Hands back on the buzzers please -- because the Poker Run starts -- NOW!
The heads side of a coin is to the obverse as the tails side of a coin is to the...
Doug: Melanie.
Melanie: Reverse?
Doug: Good guess; that's right.
The beaver state is to Oregon as the badger state is to...
Doug: Kevin.
Kevin: Wisconson.
Doug: That's right.
[NOTE FROM DOUG: Spelling doesn't count as long as it's "close enough". Wisconsin is the right spelling.]
