Joker Poker
ANDY
JOSH
Doug: ...Josh, looks like you'll need a Queen or King to have a chance to pull within 10 of the lead. Deej, let's see Josh's last card first.
ANDY
JOSH
Doug: Another 9. With the Joker, you have, at best, three 9s. Andy, at worst, with three Queens, collects 25 more points.

Doug: Now for the answer to the question Mr. & Mrs. America and all the ships at sea want to know.
Did
Josh
break
up
a
bid
for
a
payoff
of
one
million
cyber-
dollars?
He
did
if
Andy's
last
card
is
another
Queen.
D.J.,
let's
have
a
look.
ANDY
JOSH
Doug: Nope. An Ace. Andy, I hope that makes you feel better.
Andy's definitely feeling great about the score. It's 70-10 in his favor -- as we find a winner in the Poker Run.

Doug: Remember, the first player to reach 100 points wins this special episode -- as well as an automatic CY$25,000. Runner-up will collect no less than CY$7500.
Questions in the Poker Run are worth 15 points each. We'll tack on 5 points to the value if one of the next two cards is a face card. If both cards are royalty, then we augment the value by 10. Deej, next two cards please.
D.J.: The King of Diamonds and the Ace of Diamonds.
Doug: OK, so the King ups the ante to 20 points a question. Remember, if you buzz in and pick a wrong answer, we deduct 20 points.
Andy needs two to win. Josh is five away. But we've got a bunch of questions as we start the Poker Run -- now!
When making a list of people who, as of today's typing, cannot run for U.S. President, you must include...
\ Arnold Schwarzenegger, governor of California
\ Tom Green, comedic actor and host of the game show "Go For The Green"
\ all of the above
\ none of the aboveDoug: Andy.
Andy: All of the above
Doug: They were both born outside the U.S. That's why you're right.

\ none of the aboveDoug: Andy for the game.
Andy: Tipper Gore

Doug: Congratulations, Andy. Before you play for anything else, you've just won CY$25,000 for winning this special episode of The New Net Poker. (audience cheers) And more loot could be on the way. We'll walk you through this shortly.
Josh, as the runner-up, you just won CY$7500 -- plus another CY$10 per point. That ices your cake with CY$300 more. This bring you up to -- *if* I'm not mistaken -- the third highest amount of cyber-money ever awarded to one player in the history of Net Poker. CY$416,050.
Doug: You have a lot of reasons to leave here with your head held high. Another big hand for a big winner. Josh Warren.
Doug: Again, if I'm not mistaken, Andy has the second highest all-time total in winnings of nearly CY$500,000. (more cheers) And a chance for more starts now.

Doug: Andy, for winning the game you may pick two letters in "POKER". Find CY$7500 with one pick and CY$5000 with the other, we'll double all of it up for *another* CY$25,000.
Andy: P and R.
Doug: P and R. We'll start with P.

Doug: Well, there's one card you need for a CY$25,000 total. Does the letter R hide CY$7500?

Doug: CY$1000. Well, a total of CY$6000 here. Now let's go after more in our new winner's game -- Joker.

Doug: Behind the numbered spaces are special cards. One is the Joker, which in this special will pay CY$50,000. (audience cheers) When we resume normal play, the Joker's Side Pot will start at CY$10,000 and we'll add CY$5000 for every show it goes unclaimed.
Another card is the mystery card -- which represents either a great or a not-so-great prize or surprise awaiting you in Deuces Wild Poker.
Two of the remaining cards are the trip cards. Find one of those and you win the "trip for every season around the world" package we tried to give away in the tournament of champions. Attached to each trip card is an amount of cyber-money -- either CY$10,000 or CY$25,000.
And the remaining card is worth less than CY$1000.
So you know for sure there are at least three great cards up there -- and at least one not so great payoff. Pick a number and we'll see what we add to your winnings.
Andy: #3
Doug: Number 3. Is the Joker there?

25 OF SOMETHING
Doug: Well, it's the mystery card. And the clue to the mystery is "25 of something". Rich, please unravel the rest of this mystery.
Rich: Andy, we could give you 25 cars or 25 umbrellas. But no -- you're getting 25 checks for CY$1000 each. (audience cheers) Giving you CY$25,000.
Doug: Well, now. That brings your total -- between your tournament score, tournament winnings and this episode -- to CY$205,250.
When we come back, Andy plays for the Outlaw's Jackpot of CY$65,000 -- *plus* a bonus of CY$1,000,000. Stay right there!
