5-Card Poker

(scattered groans)

Doug: It's a 9. You end up with a pair of Jacks. James, at least, you have a pair of Kings. You win another 25 points.

Doug: In the interest of finality on the hands, what was James' last card?

Doug: Queen of Clubs. Tony, if you picked the right card instead of the left, the lead would be yours.

Let's race to 100 points now in our next Poker Run.

 

(motorcycle sfx)

Doug: Now for this Poker Run, the players build on their current point totals. Each analogy in this Poker Run is worth 15 points -- but we'll increase the value by 5 points for each face card that comes down the chute. These are the next cards from the top of the deck. Let's have our cards for the Poker Run, please, face up.

D.J.: The King of Diamonds and the King of Clubs.

Doug: Woah! Two cowboys. So full points -- 25 per analogy. That means you're each three right answers away from winning this round.

Best of luck to you both -- because the Poker Run starts -- NOW!

(Tony buzzes in)

Doug: Tony.

Tony: Dan.

(slight pause) (ding)

Doug: Judge accepts -- and I think it's only fair. I had "Dan Fielding" on the card. But since we noted a partial identity on Richard Moll's character, it stands to reason you respond with a partial identity on John Larroquette's character. With that, we move onward.

Stewie Griffin is to Gilligan as Donald Duck is to...

(James buzzes in)

Doug: James.

James: Faunteleroy.

(ding)

Doug: That's right. Comparing a cartoon character to his middle name.

S.E. Hinton is to Susan Eloise as P.T. Barnum is to...

(Tony buzzes in)

Doug: Tony.

Tony: Phineas Taylor. (ding) Hey, where's Perry? :D (a few laughs from the crowd)

Doug: I have no idea -- but I know you're one right answer away from Joker Poker. James needs two.

Canada Day is to the first day of July as All Saints' Day is to the first day of...

(Tony buzzes in)

Doug: Tony for the round.

Tony: November!

(ding)

Doug: That's right and that's the Poker Run.

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Good close round all round. Tony, you pulled through at the end -- and you'll have a shot at up to CY$7500 shortly.

James, we hope you had fun on our show. We give you CY$10 per point or CY$700 -- plus the parting gifts we talked about earlier. A nice hand for James Greek.

(audience applause)

 

 
 



 
 

Doug: Tony, you'll defend your crown in Joker Poker later. Right now, a shot at CY$7500. It's hiding behind a letter in Poker. Which letter would you like?

Tony: How about my middle initial? E.

Doug: Going with the E. How much is it worth?

 

 
 



 
 

(rimshot; ca-ching) (dings; audience applause)

Doug: Big one -- CY$7500.

(smooth jazz theme plays)

Doug: So far -- 25-thousand, one and a quarter for Tony. Andy rejoins us. He won CY$7500 earlier. One of them could win a lot more -- if he can get in the right *frame* of mind. That's coming up on Net Poker. Stay with us.

(audience cheers)
