5-Card Poker

(motorcycle sfx)

Doug: As with the earlier Poker Run, we play questions from General Knowledge Multiple Choice -- but we don't make changes to the score. Each question in the Poker Run is worth 15 points -- plus five additional points per face card in the next pair of cards coming down the chute. Let's see what they are now.

D.J.: The Jack of Hearts and the King of Clubs.

Doug: Well, that boosts the value of each question to 25. Remember, if you buzz in and choose a wrong answer, we take 25 points away and go on to the next question. Good luck, play carefully, here we go...

(dings; audience applause)

Doug: Josh, by winning this round, you're assured of at least CY$7500 -- because that's the minimum payoff for second place in this special.

Todd, as for you, you *nearly* pulled off the comeback. That's what makes the Poker Run exciting. For finishing in third place in this special, you win CY$5000 *plus* CY$10 per point -- another CY$750. We add that to your winnings from your previous regular and tournament game appearances -- and you leave us with a really tidy sum of CY$139,100.

(audience cheers)

Doug: Best of luck in your marriage as you create that new family. Another big hand for Todd Davis.

(more cheers)
