Doug: Fourth 9 at 19. Oh, is this great news for you.

Doug: You zoom into a big lead with 155 points. No matter your placing when we start the Poker Run, you're entitled to a bonus letter since you have at least 100 points. (more cheers)
Doug: James -- if Andy can get quads, so can you. Now four of a kind, a straight flush or a royal flush will clinch first place before the Poker Run. Let's shuffle 'em up.
|
|

Doug: Now before we turn you loose at the board, remind the folks about yourself, please.
James: Well, I am James Greek, if i am familiar to you, well I was on Game 53 of Net Poker but did not win. I enjoy game shows, music, classic TV and girls and I am ready to kick some butt!
Doug: All right. Well, you're going to need lady luck on your side. Only quads or a straight or royal flush will give you the lead before the poker run. Just takes five cards to get 'er dun. Which five do you think will help?
James: 2, 3, 4, 8, and 9
Doug: All right, let's have a look.
|
|
|
|
Doug: Well -- two pairs. But they'd only add 10 to your score. You're half way to a quartet of ladies or a quartet of 10s. You're also 2/5 of the way to a straight or royal flush.
What would you like to do?
James: Ditch the King of diamonds.
Doug: Ditching the King for what number?
James: #1!
Doug: OK -- well -- whether or not you complete the full boat, you're solidifying second place. But -- let's see if he can double his points?
|
|
|
|
Doug: Well, trade in a cowboy for another cowboy.
Doug: And with that, Andy with 155 points, James with 50 and Tony with 25. Let's find our winner of the round with the Poker Run.
|
|
|
|
Doug: Normally the player who makes first place gets two free letters to start, second place one free letter and third place starts from scratch. James and Tony, that much is true for you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
  
|
|
Doug: However, Andy, since you scored at least 100 points in the earlier phase of the round, you're entitled to another free letter in addition to the two letters we normally give the first place finisher.
With that, we're now set for the Poker Run -- where our players will race to complete analogies and collect the letters that spell out the word "POKER". Each time you chime in with the right answer, you earn a letter. But if you buzz in with a wrong answer, you're locked out of the next question.
First to get all five letters in "POKER" wins the round.
Hands back on the buzzers, please -- because the Poker Run starts -- NOW!

Doug: Andy.
Andy: Coins.
Doug: That's right. One more and you win.

Doug: Andy for the round.
Andy: Squirrel.
(slight pause) (judge activates bell)
Doug: We'll take it -- and that's the Poker Run.

Doug: Flying squirrel is what we were looking for -- but Rocky's also known as Rocket J. Squirrel. So we'd be really cruel not to take that as an answer. Andy, a lickety split win in the Poker Run...

Doug: ...now entitles you to up to CY$7500. We have different amounts of cyber-money behind the letters in Poker on the big screen. Pick a letter and the hidden amount is yours. Which letter hides the seven and a half grand?
Andy: Well, I had 4 nines in Video Poker; 2 nines is 18. R for 18.
Doug: Math Class in Net Poker -- who knew? (a few laughs from the crowd) Behind the R we find...

(rimshot; ca-ching) (dings; audience applause)
Doug: ...the biggun. CY$7500.
Doug: Andy may have gotten the last word in this round. Tony and James, you'll play The Last Word in 5-Card Poker when we return to Net Poker.
ADVANCE TO 5-CARD POKER
