Doug: Gentlemen, in this round, questions are worth 15 points each. But that value will increase by 5 for each face card that comes down. These are the next two cards from the top of the deck. Deej, what are our cards for the Poker Run?
D.J.: The Queen of Clubs and the 10 of Clubs.
Doug: One face card for a five-point increase. We're playing for 20 points a question. Deo, that means you need three right answers to become our new champion. Kevin, you'll need four.
Hands back on the buzzers please. The all important Poker Run starts -- NOW!
Goodbye is to au revoir as hello is to...
Doug: Kevin.
Kevin: Bonjour.
Doug: That's right.
The buckeye state is to Ohio as the wolverine state is to...
Doug: Kevin again.
Kevin: Michigan.
Doug: They had to sneak in a Michigan question when it's a down year for my Buckeyes. (a few laughs from the crowd) Kevin now two away from the win. Deo still needs three.
"Au" is to gold as "Ag" is to...
Doug: Kevin.
Kevin: Silver.
Doug: That's right.
"Barney Miller" is to Hal Linden as "Frasier" is to...
Doug: Kevin for the win.
Kevin: Kelsey Grammer.
Doug: That's the Poker Run and you're the new champ.

Doug: Kevin, you started the game the way you ended it -- with a hot hand on the buzzer. Congratulations. You'll be going after a lot of loot in just a few moments.
Deo, we sure hope you had fun. You take home another CY$10 per point in this round or CY$450. Total of CY$1950 to take back to Indonesia. A nice hand for Deo.

Doug: Kevin, you're now the champ. That gives you the right to pick two letters in the word "POKER" up here. If you find the two highest amounts -- which are CY$7500 and CY$5000 -- I'll double both of them for a total of CY$25,000.
Kevin: I'll take the "O" and the "R" in POKER.
Doug: O and R. The O first.

Doug: Behind the numbers, Kevin, are special cards. One of them is the Joker -- worth the bonus of CY$10,000. Which number hides the Joker?
Kevin: I'll pick number 3.
Doug: Number 3. Is the Joker there?

Doug: No, it's our payoff card. That means a maximum of CY$7500. The mystery amount is hiding behind the letters in Joker. So, please reveal Kevin's payoff.

Doug: Well, that means the next Joker game will be worth CY$15,000. Kevin, you're going after CY$75,000 in Deuces Wild Poker -- after this.
