Doug: Robert, since you had the most points, you'll get a two-letter head start. Michael, you had the second highest point total; you get a one-letter head start. Kevin, no free letters -- but you can always make a comeback.
In the Poker Run, no rebuses -- but we have analogies to complete. Chime in with the right answer and you score a letter. When you have all five letters, you win the round and a potential CY$7500.
