Doug: It's a 10. We'll treat the Joker as if it were a third 10. David, you've just tied the game.

Doug: Well -- in the old days, we'd break this tie with dice rolls. But nowadays, we finish this round -- and the game -- with the Poker Run.

Doug: Fifteen points a question -- unless one of the next two cards is a face card, then we play 20 a question. If both are royalty, 25 a question. The Joker will count as a face card if it comes down the chute. May we have the cards, please.
D.J.: The Ace of Clubs and the Jack of Clubs.
Doug: So -- 20 a question. Simply put, the first to three right answers in this Poker Run wins the game. Andy, David, good luck and play carefully -- because the Poker Run starts -- NOW!
On the short-lived TV series "GCB", the letter G is to "Good" as the letter C is to...
Doug: David.
David: Christian.
Doug: Did you notice we didn't bother asking what the B stood for?
When talking about H&R Block, the H is to Henry as the R is to...
Doug: Andy.
Andy: Richard.
Doug: That's right. We're tied again.
In a box of Lucky Charms cereal, clovers are to the color green as hearts are to the color...

Doug: That's right. Andy's one away from victory.
When talking about cards games, Uno is to Crazy Eights as Skip-Bo is to...
Doug: David.
David: Spite and Malice -- AKA Cat and Mouse.
Doug: That's right. We're comparing games not involving a regulation deck of cards to those that do call for at least one 52-card deck. Score's tied at 80. Next right answer wins.
Mozart's first name is to Wolfgang as Mozart's middle name is to...
Doug: Andy for the game.
Andy: Amadeus.
Doug: That's right and you're still the champ.

Doug: Andy, congratulations. Your second win -- and a shot at CY$70,000 coming up later.
David, 80 points translate to another CY$800. And I have some good new for you. An irregularity cropped up during the game -- and there's a chance it unfairly cost you the game.
So -- the best thing to do is invite you back on our next show -- and give you another shot at winning big here on Net Poker. For now, with CY$2800, we say, "See you on our next show, David Hammond."

Doug: Andy, two letters in "Poker", please.
Andy: The P and the R.
Doug: All right, we're a little short on time -- so we're going to reveal them at the same time. If you find a total of CY$12,500, those payoffs double for CY$25,000. Let's see them, please.

Doug: Mystery card -- and the hint is Ten for Ten. Scarlett, please tell us the rest of the story.
Scarlett: Andy, in celebration of our tenth anniversary, you'll instantly win CY$10,000 for every natural 10 you draw in Deuces Wild Poker.
Doug: Well -- isn't that interesting. You won CY$10,000 for the round -- and pick up another ten large for every natural 10 you end up with in your hand. By the way, where was the Joker?
