Doug: Well, only 10 points separate the players. Let's finish up the game with the Poker Run.

 

(motorcycle sfx)

Doug: Again, we're completing analogies in the Poker Run. Each one is worth 15 points. But if one of the next two cards from the top of the deck is a face card, we play for 20 a question. If both are royalty, it's 25 a question. We still haven't seen Jokers -- and the Joker will count as a face card in the Poker Run.

Let's see our Poker Run cards, please.

D.J.: The Ace of Spades and the Jack of Diamonds.

Doug: So it's 20 a question. Tony, you're three right answers away from becoming our new champion. Michael, you need four right answers.

Best of luck. Play carefully. We start the game-deciding Poker Run -- NOW!

Doug: This *Ohio State* fan says -- you're right again, Michael. (a few laughs from the crowd) You're each two right answers away from victory.

Japan is to yen as South Africa is to...

Doug: Michael.

Michael: Rand.

Doug: That's their currency. Michael one away from the win.

Doug: That's right. We're comparing a Michael Jackson hit song to its parody by "Weird" Al Yankovic. Next right answer wins its.

A philatelist is to stamps as a numismatist is to...

Doug: Tony for the game.

(dings; audience cheers)

(Tony does a downward fist pump and shout "Yes!" Marv Albert-style)

Doug: The good news is you've won the game. The bad news is Ferdie Pacheco and Mike Fratello aren't here to help you celebrate. (audience laughs) Stand by, Tony, you'll have a chance to win a lot of loot before playing for CY$50,000.

Michael, awfully sorry we have to say goodbye -- especially after it all came down to that question on collecting coins and stamps.

We give you another CY$10 per point or CY$950. That means you're going home with CY$2450, some fine gifts and our great thanks for making this a great game of Net Poker. Michael Clifford, everyone.

(audience cheers)
