Game 7 Round 2Doug: And we're back on Net Poker Live! here at the fabulous Bonus Island Resort and Casino. Before we start our second round, let's meet our players -- starting with Dean Scungio.
Dean: Hi, Doug. I'm Dean from Johnston, RI. I work in tech support. And I just turned 35 last Saturday. (audience applause)
Doug: Ah, well happy birthday. I turn 39 tomorrow. Thing is -- if either one of us is waiting on a chick to jump out of a cake, we might be waiting awhile. (audience laughs) And if she does pop out, leave it to Twinkle Toes over there to call security.
(DH gives Doug evil look) (more laughs)
Doug: In any event, good luck to you the rest of the game. Good luck also to Jay Cross, tell us about yourself please.
Jay: Well, I'm Jay obviously. I'm from the Chris Christie state, and I'm currently a special education teacher's aide
Doug: Ah, helping nourish young minds. God bless everyone in the education field.
SCRAMBLED
PHRASES
Doug: Time for our second hand of 5-Card Poker -- and a little theme we call Scrambled Phrases. I'll give you a title, phrase, quotation or proverb one word at a time. But it'll be scrambled. The first player to buzz in and give me the actual phrase wins CY$500 and a choice of card. Blind card phrase for CY$750 when you each collect four cards. High hand still pays CY$1250.
Dean cut the cards since he had high hand the last time. Let's see if he gave 'em another good cut.
Doug: Well, a Jack and Ace of Hearts. Obviously no royal flush this time. but let's see what develops. This first scrambled phrase is a title...
