Doug: Two Aces and two Kings. Now -- Tony -- interesting situation.
You *could* stop here, take 10 points for the two pairs and clinch a tie with Erik for second place. If you do clinch that second place tie, you're each assured of one free letter in the Poker Run -- but Michael gets at least two free letters.
Then again, you could make exchanges and try to make first place yourself.
So -- what would you like to do?
Tony: I'm gonna try to make a full house by discarding the 9 of Diamonds.
(scattered cheers)
Tony: And I'm going all Will Riker on the board, i.e., in Captain Picard's voice, "Number One". (audience laughs) If that fails, at least I won't do any worse. ;)
Doug: Wow, from "$ale" to "Trek: Next Gen". Let's see if the trade pays off. Is there' an Ace or King behind 1?

|
|
(FF reveal sfx) (audience groans)
Doug: Nope -- 10 of Spades.
|
|
|
|
        
|
|
|
Doug: Well -- the good news for Erik and Tony is they each get a one-letter head start. Michael, worst thing you can do is lose five points and you'd still have at least two letters. *So*...
|
|
|
|
Doug: ...might as well try for at least four of a kind. Because if you have at least 100 points, you'll get three free letters. A royal flush means 1000 points, four free letters and -- oh yeah -- CY$1,000,000.
Doug: Before you go to the board, tell us the Michael Clifford story.
Michael: My name is Michael Clifford. I am from Marlton, New Jersey. I am currently unemployed. I like watching game shows and playing netgames. Doug, I have a new celebrity crush.
Doug: Oh, do tell?
Michael: Now, I still have crushes on Jill Manas and Heather Morris, but my newest celebrity crush is Rebecca Grant. You might remember her as the host of GSN's "Throut & Neck". BTW, if Rebecca or Jill or Heather wants to e-mail me, my address is donodjm12fan@yahoo.com.
(Michael gives a thumbs up) (audience laughs)
Doug: Huh-kay with that shout-out out of the way, please pick five numbers.
Michael: I will go with 21, 15, 11, 16 and 10.
Doug: All right, let's have a look.
|
|
|
|
Doug: Well -- you've got two Jacks -- but you also have three ingredients for a spaded royal flush. No sense in stopping here. Please make exchanges.
Michael: I'm going for the royal flush! (audience cheers) I will get rid of the non-spades and I will go with 18 and 17.
Doug: All right, if the numbers 17 and 18 hide the King and Queen of Spades -- albeit not necessarily respectively -- you win 1000 points, you win CY$1,000,000 and you'll have a tremendous advantage ahead of -- (pauses) -- the, uh, Poker Run.
I just realized I forgot to take my nerve medicine. And at a time like this, I need to take it now.
So, let's take a break -- (audience groans) -- we'll find out if Michael's won big after this.
(more groans) (smooth jazz theme plays) (Doug heads for his dressing room to take his medicine)

Note from Doug: Due to the tornado that hit my neighborhoods
on February 10, 2013, much of the rest of the round is
presented in an HTML lite format.
======================================================================
Doug: Huh kay, I'm ready. Before the break, Michael drew three cards for a spaded royal flush and two other cards. He ditched those other two cards to try and complete that royal flush. If he makes it, it's 1000 points, a million cyber-bucks and a big advantage in the Poker Run.
Let's not delay any further and see his new picks of 17 and 18.

Doug: Nary a spade. Oh well. (ding) You got two Aces for 5 more points. Michael's up to 45, the others tied at 30. Now that the second phase is over, let's find the winner of this round -- with our Poker Run.
(motorcycle sfx)
Doug: In this round, our contestants will be racing to collect letters in the word "POKER" while completing analogies. Our top two players get head starts.
(ding)
Doug: Michael had the most points -- meaning he gets two free letters in "POKER". Erik and Tony, you tied at second place -- so we'll give you one free letter each.
Each time you chime in and finish an analogy correctly, you earn another letter. But if you buzz in with a wrong answer, you're locked out of the next analogy.
Hands back on the buzzers, please, because the Poker Run starts -- NOW!
On "WKRP in Cincinnati", Dr. Johnny Fever is to Howard Hesseman as Les Nessman is to...
(Tony buzzes in)
Doug: Tony.
Tony: Richard Sanders
(ding)
Doug: That's right.
"O Canada" is to Canada as "La Marseillaise" is to...
(Tony buzzes in)
Doug: Tony again.
Tony: France
(ding)
Doug: Right again.
In the movie "Shrek", Princess Fiona is to Cameron Diaz as Donkey is to...
(Michael buzzes in)
Doug: Michael.
Michael: Eddie Murphy
(ding)
Doug: That's right. Tony and Michael now tied at three letters. Erik still has one.
"H" is to hydrogen as "Zr" is to...
(Tony buzzes in)
Doug: Tony.
Tony: Zirconium.
(ding)
Doug: That's right. One more and you win.
On the TV series "I Spy", Kelly Robinson is to Robert Culp as Alexander Scott is to...
(Tony buzzes in)
Doug: Tony for the round.
Tony: Bill Cosby.
(ding)
Doug: That's right and that's the Poker Run.
(dings; audience applause)
Doug: Congrats for winning, Tony. Now you get to pick a letter.

Doug: Behind the five letters in the word "POKER", we have different amounts of cyber-money. One letter hides the top payoff of CY$7500.
Since you won the first round of our 10th anniversary celebration, I want you to find that 7500. Where is it?
Tony: I'm hoping it's under P.
Doug: Letter P. What's hiding there?
(rimshot; ca-ching)
Doug: A third of that -- CY$2500.

Doug: Yours to keep no matter how you finish in the game. Tony, we'll see you later for Joker Poker. Erik and Michael go heads up in 5-Card Poker -- as we see some I.D. -- as in Initial Descriptions. That's ahead on Net Poker.
(audience cheers)
ADVANCE TO 5-CARD POKER
