 ROBERT        JOHN      |

Doug: All right, we'll go through this quickly. Deej, did John end up with a pair?

ROBERT JOHN  |
|
Doug: Yes -- both ladies in red. Robert's winning hand is complete with...
|
|
ROBERT  JOHN |
|
Doug: ... a 9. So the score's now 45 to 35 in Robert's favor.
|
|
|

|
Doug: But it is time to get serious with a high stakes Poker Run.
|
|
|
Doug: Robert builds on 45 points, John builds on 35. Value of each question is 15 points plus 5 points for each face card that comes down the chute. If one of the cards is the other Joker, we treat that as if it were a face card. The Poker Run cards, please.

D.J.: The Jack of Diamonds and the Queen of Spades.
Doug: So full points -- 25 a question. That means Robert needs three right answers to automatically win awards that total CY$90,000. John needs three right answers to have a *chance* at the awards that total CY$90,000.
So -- good luck -- play carefully -- because a lot is riding on this. Either Robert will win 90-grand and play for a million -- or we'll have a new champion.
This important Poker Run starts -- NOW!

Doug: Robert again.
Robert: Tampa Bay.
Doug: Sorry, you were too specific. The answer we needed was "Florida".
Major League Baseball teams who have their spring training games in the state of Arizona make up what's known as the Cactus League. Those who train throughout Florida make up the Grapefruit League.
John, that means you play the next question unopposed.

Doug: Robert, we owe you a ton of cyber-money. We'll pay up shortly.
John, to say the least, you pushed our champ. Even though you ran into some bad luck with the cards earlier, you kept the score close. We couldn't have asked for a better ending one way or the other.
We give you CY$10 per point or another CY$850. Added to the earlier winnings from the last round -- that's CY$8350. Nice piece of change -- and I understand you've got a visit to Disney World down the road. Please do us a favor and raise a glass to Cindy while you're in Central Florida.
Doug: Big hand for John Menjes.
Doug: Robert -- to the victor go a lot of spoils. First, you'd normally have a chance to win CY$25,000 by picking two letters in "POKER". You'd then have a chance at our Joker's Bonus -- worth CY$10,000. You'd *then* play for CY$55,000 in the Deuces Wild round.
But for winning this, your fourth straight game...

Doug: ...all that cyber-money is yours *automatically*.
(audience cheers) (smooth jazz theme plays)
Doug: And when we come back, Robert plays Deuces Wild Poker for CY$1,000,000. Stay right there!
ADVANCE TO DEUCES WILD POKER
