Doug: Okie doke. King, Ace and 9 make room -- for what?
|
|
|
|
(FF reveal sfx) (scattered cheers)
Doug: A third Queen, a Jack and a 9 -- that's what.

Doug: David, what this means is three of anything will tie Andy ahead of the Poker Run. Any hand ranking better than three of a kind will give you the lead and the advantage ahead of the Poker Run. Anything less -- and Andy will have the advantage. Let's shuffle the cards.

Doug: And before you draw five cards, let's get the David Hammond story.
David: Hey Doug, the name's David Hammond. Self proclaimed TV Historian, netgames and game show freak, recently married.
Doug: We normally save shout-outs for anyone on the verge of an undefeated championship. But, newlywed that you are, you may send a shout out to the Mrs.
David: Hi Shannon :-) In my spare time I write about fan fiction about Harry Potter and Star Wars, and explore the virtual world Second Life.
Doug: Sounds like a lot of varied interests. We wish you and Shannon decades of wedded bliss. Now, select five numbers, please.
David: Give me 7, 11, 14, 18, and 21, Doug.
Doug: All righty.

Doug: Well -- a pair of 9s, an Ace, a Queen and a Jack. Stop here and I have to take away 5 points. So -- might as well take that second chance.
David: Lose the Ace, Queen, and Jack, and give me 9, 19, and 23.
Doug: Very well -- trying to find at least a third 9 -- or three of a different kind for the full boat. Let's see what happens.
|
|
|
|
Doug: And you got a third 9 out of that exchange. Fifteen points to you.

Doug: Melanie, there's good news in this for you -- but you wanted to send a shout out to your hubby.
Melanie: I'm not a newlywed but I want to send a shout-out to my husband Jerry.
Doug: Very well. Now with mentions of spouses out of the way, let's get the motors running for the Poker Run.
|
|
|
|
Doug: And Melanie, here's where the good news comes in for you.
|
|
|
|
 
|
|
|
Doug: Andy and David, you tied for the most points -- so we give each of you two free letters in the word "Poker". Melanie, we'll be kind and say you had the second highest total for one free letter.
Now in the Poker Run, you're racing to complete analogies and collect the remaining letters you need to spell out "Poker" on your podium.
Each time you chime in with the right answer, you score another letter. But if you buzz in and give me a wrong answer, you're locked out of the next question. The first player to score all five letters in "Poker", including the freebies we spotted you, wins the round and up to CY$7500.
Doug:Hands back on the buzzers, please, because the Poker Run starts -- NOW!
ADVANCE TO 5-CARD POKER
