The tenth anniversary celebration of Net Poker continues. We're actually working on a 10th anniversary episode of Net Poker Live! More on that later. For now, let's look for players for our next main game. But first...
\ Tony Peters returns with one win and CY$17,625. We're looking for two challengers.
\ If you participated in the 54rd, 55th or 56th main game, please sit on your hands and let someone else in on the fun. Can't remember when you played? Check out www.dougmorris.net/poker and click on "archives"
...now it's on to qualifying. The three closest players to the right answer, high or low, get to play. The question.

Before the show, we programmed Net Poker's video slot game Bingo Night to generate a bingo card -- with all five numbers under the B covered. What is the sum of the five numbers under the B? Since the five numbers under the B are different and range between 1 and 15 inclusive, please make sure your answer is higher than 14 and lower than 66.
(time passes)
And we're done. Let's reveal the secret numbers.

Doug: Six, fourteen, eleven, four and fifteen add up to the right answer of 50. Who's the closes
James Greek 55
Andy Silikovitz 45
Doug: These two? All righty. Well, we thank everyone else for playing. Now, player positioning does make a difference in this game. Who locked in his answer sooner?
Andy Silikovitz 45
Doug: All right, Andy, you'll take the Player 2 spot. James, you're Player 3. Net Poker's comin' up.

(various scenes from the horrific end of the Boston Marathon)
Scarlett Gray: Evil has its moment. But evil doesn't win. Our
thoughts and prayers to those impacted by the Boston Marathon bombing.
======================================================================
Scarlett: From CDM Enterprises, a division of Trax Productions, it's the card game where the high hand can bring a reward as high as CY$1,000,000. Celebrating ten years on VBS, this is Net Poker.

Scarlett: And now, here's our host, Doug Morris!
(Doug walks out from behind the video poker screen)
Doug: I thank you, Scarlett. Hellooooooo, everybody and welcome to Net Poker. Our tenth anniversary celebration got off to a great start with the crowning of a new champion. He defends his title against two challengers. Here to introduce them all is D.J. Hamilton.
(audience cheers) (D.J. walks out wearing a sparkling gold strapless dress)
D.J.: Howdy, y'all. So great to see everyone -- including tonight's players, James Greek, Andy Silikovitz and our champion with CY$17,265, Tony Peters.

Doug: Thanks, Deej. We'll see you later with our second phase of this round. Players, welcome to the game. We're going to begin the first phase of Video Poker. It's a little something we call...
|
|
|
|
Doug: ...Double Meanings of Proper Names. We'll give you descriptions of two different people who happen to share the same first and last name. You must give me the shared first and last name. For example, if I gave you "Indianapolis Colts head coach who succeeded Tony Dungy" and "Original host of 'Top Card'", you'd buzz in and say "Jim Caldwell".
Each correct answer is worth 10 points. But if you buzz in with a wrong answer, we have to take 10 points away. After five pairs of meanings, we'll go to the video screen for more points. After *that*, we'll race in a Poker Run to determine this round's winner.
Let's spot each of you 10 points to start the round.
