 ROBERT        JAMES       |
|
Doug: A 10 -- gives you one pair of Aces with a Queen-10-9. Deej, please flip Robert's last card.
|
|
ROBERT  JAMES |
|
Doug: A Queen. We'll make the Joker another Queen for trips. Robert's hand's better for 25 more points.
|
|
|
          
|
 
|
Doug: All right, 45-35 in Robert's favor. Let's race to 100 points in the Poker Run.
|
|
|
Doug: Each question is worth 15 points *plus* five points for each face card that comes down the chute. We'll count the remaining Joker in the deck as a face card if it comes down.
May we have the cards for this crucial Poker Run.
 |
D.J.: There's the other Joker with the King of Clubs.
Doug: So full points per question -- 25. That means each player is just three correct answers from winning the game.
Good luck, play carefully because the Poker Run starts -- NOW!
"Meet The Press" is to NBC News as "Face The Nation" is to...
Doug: James.
James: CBS News.
Doug: That's right.
"Goose" is to "geese" as "mongoose" is to...
Doug: James again.
James: Mammals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: I'm afraid I can't take. We were looking for the plural form of the word "mongoose" to correctly complete the analogy. And the plural of "mongoose" is "mongooses". One of the many unusual parts of our English language.
Robert, you get the next question unopposed.
Canada's Juno Awards are to America's Grammy Awards as Canada's Gemini Awards are to America's...
Robert: Emmys. Academy Awards.
(Doug looks to judge)
Judge Von Erik: Doug, there is a difference between the Emmys and Academy Awards. So we have to take Robert's first answer of Emmys -- which is the correct answer.
(ding) (smattering of applause)
Doug: Fair enough. Robert at 70. James at 60. You're virtually tied since you're each two away from the win.
On the TV series "2 Broke Girls", Max is to Kat Dennings as Caroline is to...
Doug: Robert.
Robert: Beth Behrs!
Doug: That's right. Robert one away from winning. James needs two.
Genuphobia is to knees as ephebiphobia is to...
Doug: Robert for the game.
Robert: Young people?
Doug: That's right and that's the Poker Run.
|
|
|
|
  
|
Doug: Of course, we were comparing the phobia to the fear of something. In this case, ephebiphobia is the fear of youth. We'd be cruel not to take "young people" as an answer. We did. That's the game. Robert, stand by, you're playing for a lot of loot in a bit.
James, this was a close game not only in points -- but also for a good while on the cards. You played well. We give you CY$10 per point this round for another CY$600. Grand total of CY$3100 and our great thanks for making it a great game of Net Poker.

Doug: Well, Robert, a new Outlaw's Jackpot of CY$50,000 is waiting to be won. A few hurdles first. Pick two letters in POKER, please. If you uncover CY$7500 and CY$5000 and those amounts will double for a total of CY$25,000.
Robert: P and K.
Doug: All right, the P first.
|
|
|
|
(rimshot; ca-ching) (a few groans)
Doug: Lowest amount -- CY$1500. What else do you win?
|
|
|
|
(rimshot; ca-ching) (scattered cheers)
Doug: That's better. Total of CY$6500 here. Now let's have the Joker game, please.
|
|
|
|
Doug: Robert, five numbers on the board -- each hiding special cards. One of them is really special -- the Joker. Today, the Joker's bonus is worth CY$20,000. Which number hides that Joker?
Robert: #1.
Doug: Number 1 -- is it hiding the Joker?
|
|
|
|
Doug: No -- but it hides Spin2Win. Let's go over to the lovely Scarlett Gray -- whose announcer's area doubles as the roulette table.
Scarlett: Indeed it does. Robert, you'll remember this from the last show. I'll give this wheel one spin. Wherever the ball lands, we multiply that number by CY$250. Let's give it a spin.
(Scarlett spins European Roulette wheel; audience cheers)
|
|
 |
D.J.: And the number is 18 Black. You just won another CY$4500.
     
|
Doug: That means this round has just paid off CY$11,000. Where was the Joker, BTW?
|
|
|
|
Doug: Right in the middle -- 3.
Doug: Well, that means the Joker's Bonus next time will be worth CY$25,000. Robert's up to CY$116,000. Could another 50-grand be on the way? Find out right here on Net Poker.
