Instead, you'll have to *deal* with Dirty Harry on Net Poker Live! ======================================================================(smooth jazz theme plays over a montage of exteriors of Bonus Island Casino in Gulfport)
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!
(more cheers) (Doug walks out wearing the tuxedo from last month's wedding)
Doug: And I'm still amazed this tux fits! (audience laughs) Helloooooo everybody and welcome to Net Poker Live! Glad to be back here at the Bonus Island for fun and games and a chance to give away CY$100,000. (audience cheers) Joining us today are a champion from our regular Net Poker game and a previous winner of Net Poker Live! Brisk round of applause for John Montagnino and David Hammond.
JOHN DAVID 
Doug: John, for those who haven't seen you in action on Net Poker, tell the nice folks about yourself.
John: Hey, I'm John Montagnino, A video production owner and student from the state of PA. I enjoy music, GSN, sports, computers and even doing video editing.
Doug: Ah, well, nice to have you hear from Pennsylvania. John was crowned the champion defeating Joe Van Ginkel in a nailbiter of a finish in our regular NP game And David, great to have you back. Tell us what you've been up to since winning here at NPL!
David: Been hosting on VBS for the most. And HammondMedia Productions is planning a new release, hopefully you'll hear more
Doug: Ah, can't wait for that. Well, welcome aboard. Quick review of the rules. We'll play two rounds of 5-Card Poker followed by one round of 3-Card Poker if necessary. The first player to win two rounds wins the game and plays for CY$100,000. Just like 5-Card Poker of normal Net Poker, each question is worth 10 points until we get to the 5th pair of cards which become available face down --and then it's a 15 point blind card question. High hand is worth 25 points. And now, ladies and gentlemen, a nice warm welcome to the senior dealer here at the Bonus Island -- who also helps us out on our sister show The All-New Big Risk. Here's DIRTY HARRY!
(loads of boos from the crowd)
David: Doug, if your boy over there stacks the deck, I hope he has his life insurance paid up
(Dirty Harry gives David an evil eye)
David: I beat ya once, I can do it again Harry. Bring it on.
Doug: Ah, gotta love the trash talk. Anyhoo, John won the right to cut the cards. The first two cards from the deck are coming down the chute ... right... about...
Doug: ...now. The 10 of Diamonds and the 9 of Clubs up for grabs with this question. Score 10 points and you get to choose between the 10 and the 9. Remember, the card you decline goes to your opponent. Let's get it on.
