Game 1 Round 1The following took place in an AOLIM chat room October 5, 2004. Some of the text of the chat's transcript, including at least one question on which no one scored, was edited. But actual gameplay is not affected and did not change.)
The ghost of Jay Stewart: From the spectacular Bonus Island Resort and Casino in Gulfport, Mississippi -- where you never know when lightning will strike -- welcome to the card game where high hands can bring high rewards. This is Net Poker LIVE!!!!
TGoJS: And now, here's our host, Doug Morris!
Doug: Thank you, ghost of Jay Stewart. Helloooooo everybody and welcome to our first ever episode of Net Poker Live! We've got lots of cyber-cash to give away and two players who want to win some. Let's welcome Chris Wolvie and David Hammond.
CHRIS DAVID 
Doug: Chris, you've played our regular Net Poker game. For those who are seeing you for the first time, tell us a little about yourself, please.
(David lights a cigar)
Chris: I'm 33, and I live in Port St. Lucie, FL...home of the 2004 Major Hurricane Convention.
Doug: Oh, mercy. Well, I hope Florida's still recovering from all those storms. It's absolutely unreal.
Chris: I host "Trivia On Tap"...which will have its Season 1 Grand Championship by year's end.
Doug: Ah, we can't wait for that. Fun game indeed. David, welcome to our show, tell us about yourself -- and are you smoking that cigar for good luck? :-)
David: No i'm smoking it cause I want to be Chris Moneymaker :-P
Doug: Ah, I see. Last year's big World Series of Poker winner.
David: I'm David Hammond, 24, work for The Welch News, host several netgames both live and e-mail -- including Dragon! The All New Net Tic Tac Dough and Yahoo! Price is Right
Doug: YPiR. Sounds like fun. Need an announcer? (audience laughs)
David: No, but i'll let you know if I ever need a replacement
(Chris puts on Greg "Fossilman" Raymer glasses)
Doug: (chuckles) Thanks. Players, welcome aboard. We can't play Net Poker Live! without a dealer. So, please, let's have a warm welcome for the Bonus Island's senior dealer. He's always happy when other players lose. Here's Dirty Harry!
(DH walks out to a chorus of boos)
Chris: What?! No D.J.?!?!?
David: WE WANT d.j!
Doug: I know, you want to see Deej. She's away in Louisiana. You might remember Dirty Harry from that short-lived train wreck -- $hopper's Casino. Anyway, gents, here's how we play. We'll play two rounds of 5 Card Poker followed by a 3 Card Poker tie-breaker round if necessary. The first player to win two rounds wins the game and a chance to play Dirty Harry's Video Challenge worth up to CY$100,000! (audience cheers) So, if ya'll are ready, Dirty Harry will show us the first two cards.
(cards come down the chute as Dirty Harry looks on)
Doug: OK, we're starting with the 10 of Diamonds and the 9 of Diamonds. Remember, just like in 5 Card Poker of normal Net Poker, questions are worth 10 points each. Then after you each get 4 cards we play a 15-point "blind card" question. High hand wins 25 points. Here's the first question...
In 1994, the World Series of...
\ Poker was held in Las Vegas
\ Major League Baseball was cancelled
\ all of the above
\ none of the aboveDoug: And, Chris is in first.
Chris: Sadly, all of the above
Doug: Right -- and you have the first 10 points of Net Poker Live!
CHRIS DAVID Doug: Which diamond would you like, Chris? The 10 or 9?
Chris: I'll take the 10, please.
CHRIS
DAVID
Doug: OK, Chris has 10 -- in more ways that one. Next cards are...
Doug: ... the Jack of Hearts and Ace of Diamonds. Next query for 10 points...

David: I'll take the Ace
CHRIS
DAVID
Doug: OK, David's working on a flush. Let's see our next two cards.
Doug: A 10 of Hearts and a Queen of Clubs. Next question for 10 more...

Chris: "Robin Hood" Givens is a real person.
Doug: He's all over it and right.
CHRIS DAVID Doug: Chris, which card?
Chris: I'll get some "tension", Doug...10, please.
Doug: Some TENSion, you say...

The cable network CNBC currently airs...
\ The News On CNBC
\ Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street
\ all of the above
\ none of the aboveDoug: Chris?
Chris: All of the above?
Doug: Sorry, not right. David. Chance to steal.
David: Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street.
Doug: Yes indeed. (audience applause) The News was cancelled shortly after the NBC/Universal merger earlier this year. We're tied at 20. Which King would you like, David? Diamonds or Spades?
David: Eh it doesn't matter which one I take The King of Diamonds My chances for a flush were ruined.
CHRIS
DAVID
Doug: Even though there's no hope for a flush, David has Ace high, Chris has a pair of 10s. With the tie score at 20, it's now time for the 15-point blind card question.
Doug: Now, if you chime in with the right answer, you get the points and the right to select the left or right card. Better hand gets 25. So, as Jim Perry would say, control is most important. The question...
Independence Day / "Independence Day" is the title of a...
\ movie starring Will Smith
\ country song by Shelby Lynne
\ all of the above
\ none of the aboveDoug: Chris.
Chris: THAT's 'All of the Above'
Doug: Nope. Sorry. David, chance to steal.
Chris: HEKE?!?!
David: Indenpendance day was sang by martina McBride ... movie starring Will Smith
(Doug looks to judge) (judge activates bell)
Doug: OK, that's right. (audience applause) David, you lead 35 to 20. Which card would you like to complete your hand?
David: I'll take the left card
CHRIS
DAVID
Doug: OK. We have our cards in place. Now, Chris, we'll start with you. Dirty Harry will reveal your fifth card in the round.
CHRIS
DAVID
Chris: Nuts!
Doug: Nuts, indeed. Just a pair of 10s. David, your need an Ace, King or Queen to win this first round. Let's see that card, Harry.
CHRIS
DAVID
Doug: King of Hearts! You have a pair of Kings and that beats Chris' 10s. You've won the first round.
CHRIS DAVID (winning bells; audience cheers)
Doug: Congrats, David. Now, Dirty Harry is going to spin the roulette wheel. We're using a European Roulette wheel -- so there's no "double zero" space -- just the numbers 1 through 36 and a green 0 space. If the ball lands on any space but the 0, we multiply the number spun by CY$100. But, if Dirty Harry spins a 0, you win CY$5000 -- much to the chagrin of our dealer. Dirty Harry, give it a spin.
(DH spins the wheel)
26 l Doug: 26 Black -- you've just won CY$2600.
CHRIS DAVID Doug: We'll take a quick break and play the second round of Net Poker Live! after this.
(smooth jazz theme plays) (more cheers)
ADVANCE TO ROUND 2
