Doug: This is where we trade in points for letters. Brian, you made first place. Normally, that gives you two free letters. However...

Doug: Since you scored at least 100 points, you collect an additional free letter. So already, you're two letters away from winning the round.
Raymond, you made second place; that's worth one free letter. Robert, unfortunately, no free letters; you're starting from scratch. But I've seen people manage to make comebacks with no free letters.
In the Poker Run, you collect letters by correctly completing analogies. Each time you chime in with a right answer, you earn a letter. If you buzz in and answer incorrectly, you're locked out of the next question.
The first player to score all five letters in "POKER" wins the round and up to CY$7500.
Hands back on the buzzers, please. We start -- NOW!
When talking about "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", the TV title character is to Sarah Michelle Gellar as the movie title character is to...
Doug: Brian.
Brian: Kristy Swanson.
Doug: That's right. Brian's one away from a win.
In the 2011 Women's World Cup, the second place team is to the United States as the championship team is to...
Doug: Brian for the round.
Brian: Japan.
Doug: That's right and that's the Poker Run.

Doug: This time, Brian, you may pick a letter in the word "POKER". One letter hides CY$7500. The other letters hide lesser payoffs. Which one has the 7500?
Brian: Doug, I'm going with letter K.
Doug: Brian goes with K. What's hiding behind K?
