Doug: Now it's up to the champ to reclaim the lead before the Poker Run. Let's shuffle those cards on the board one more time.

Doug: And before we turn you loose, Andy, we give you a chance to please send shout outs to friends and loved ones.
Andy: Hello to my mom and dad Arlene and Ron, my brother Harvey, and my two cats, Calvin and Candy.
Doug: All right, hello to the Silikovitz family. Five cards, please.
Andy: 1, 6, 12, 19, 24.
Doug: All right, let's have a look.

Doug: Well -- two 10s and three different face cards. Worth minus five if you stop here. Might as well make exchanges.
Andy: Let's "86" the face cards and replace them with 10, 15, and 20.
Doug: Very well. Will the two 10s he's keeping be the foundation for a full house?

Doug: No -- you made an even trade. Lose a King, Queen and Jack; gain another King, Queen and Jack.

Doug: Gotta take 5 points away, champ. We've also got to move to the third and final phase of this round -- the Poker Run.

Doug: Now even though we're playing with two players here, Andy and David still will race to collect *letters* in the word "Poker".
ANDY DAVID ![]()
![]()
Doug: And we still give the top point scorer a head start of two letters and the second place finisher one free letter.
As you know, players, you're racing also to complete analogies. Chime in with the right answer and you earn another letter. Buzz inwith a wrong answer -- and your opponent plays the next question unopposed.
Back on the buzzers, please -- because this Poker Run starts -- NOW!

When talking about famous singing twins, the older sister is to Megan as the younger sister is to...

According to a famous nursery rhyme, Jack Sprat is to eating no fat as Jack's wife is to eating no...
Doug: Andy for the round.
Andy: Lean.
Doug: That's right and that's the Poker Run.
Doug: This was an exciting nip and tuck round -- coming down to that last question. Now, normally, Andy, you get to play for up to CY$7500. But since this is our last show...

Doug: ...we're just gonna *give* ya CY$7500. (audience cheers) And David, for being the runner-up of this round, we'll give you a straight up CY$1000.
Why are we doing this? It's the last show! Every last cyber-dollar has gotta go!
(audience laughs and applauds)
