Mega Playoff: Game 2 Round 3 (Hawaiian trip music plays)

Rich: Tonight's eliminated semi-finalist will receive a cruise of the Hawaiian Islands.

 

Rich: Islands of sugar canes, exotic flowers, coconuts and breath-taking sunsets await this evening's runner-up. The eliminated semi-finalist and a guest will fly round trip coach to Honolulu -- where they will board the S.S. Independence for an unforgettable seven-day cruise from one beautiful island of Hawaii to another. Compliments of American Hawaii Cruises.

And now, back to Doug Morris and the Net Poker Mega Playoff.

(audience cheers)

Doug: Thank you, Rich. Well, this game has, for the most part been a Xerox of the first game. One player dominates the first round and the other manages to narrow the gap.

 

 

 

ANDY	JOSH

Doug: Score here -- Josh leads CY$4500 to CY$3500. Final round of the game in this tournament, as always,...

 

GENERAL KNOWLEDGE MULTIPLE CHOICE

Doug: ...has General Knowledge Multiple Choice as our theme. You know how the questions work in this round. All the values in this round are now doubled. Toss-up questions are worth CY$1000, the blind card question is worth CY$1500 and the high hand is worth CY$2500.

As we play, in the event the leader has an insurmountable lead, we'll end the game right there and then -- even if we haven't completed the hands -- and declare the leader the winner.

Remember, the winner's score will be augmented to CY$20,000. The winner then plays Deuces Wild Poker for CY$100,000.

(audience cheers)

Doug: Andy cut the cards for this final round. Best of luck to each of you. Deej, what are the first two cards of this final round?

D.J.: The 9 of Clubs and the King of Hearts.

Doug: Hey, maybe a shot at the royal flush bonus. Just sayin'. First CY$1000 question of the round...

Actor Vincent Price was a cast member of the...
\ 1953 movie "The House of Wax"
\ first color feature filmed in 3-D
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Andy buzzes in)

Doug: Andy.

Andy: 1953 movie "The House of Wax"

Doug: Correct. (audience applause) Just like that, a tie game at 4500. Which card, Andy?

Andy: King me.

Doug: Figured as much.

 

ANDY JOSH

Doug: Josh gets the 9 and we get two more cards.

D.J.: The 10 of Spades and the King of Diamonds.

Doug: And let's break the tie with this...

"Tonto" is the...
\ name of the Lone Ranger's companion
\ Spanish word for "wise"
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Josh buzzes in)

Doug: Josh

Josh: Tonto was the Lone Ranger's companion.

Doug: That's right.

 

 

 

ANDY	JOSH

(audience applause)

Doug: "Tonto" in English means "idiot". Fill in your own jokes from there. Which card, Josh?

Josh: Take the King.

Doug: Takes the cowboy on a cowboy question.

 

ANDY JOSH

Doug: Andy gets the 10. Two more cards, please.

D.J.: The 9 of Diamonds and the Ace of Clubs.

Doug: Yin and yang -- with this next query.

Ricky Martin was...
\ a member of Menudo
\ 1999's entertainer of the year, named by "Entertainment Weekly"
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Andy buzzes in)

Doug: Andy.

Andy: all of the above

Doug: Just beating Josh to the buzzer -- and that's right. (audience applause) Tie ballgame -- 5500. Which card?

Andy: 9 -- can't let Josh have a pair yet.

Doug: Very well...

 

ANDY JOSH

Doug: ...no one building on a pair so far in this crucial hand. Josh, of course, out of contention for a straight. Two more cards.

D.J.: The 10 of Diamonds and the Ace of Diamonds.

Doug: OK, let's break *this* tie -- with this...

Actress Lee Meriwether...
\ was once crowned Miss America
\ played the title character's daughter on "Barnaby Jones"
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Andy buzzes in)

Doug: Andy.

Andy: was once crowned Miss America.

Doug: That's right.

 

 

 

ANDY	JOSH

(audience applause)

Doug: Andy, before I ask for a card, let me explain something. First, as for the question, Lee Ann Meriwether played Barnaby's daughter-in-law -- so that's why the second answer's wrong.

Now, with the score as it is, it is possible that this game will end in a tie at CY$8000. For the benefit of those who didn't see the last show, we break a tie by letting each player discard a card, then we play a new blind card question for CY$1500 with another CY$2500 going to the player with the better hand.

For now, Andy, which card would you like?

Andy: Ace

Doug: Well, that does set up an interesting board.

 

ANDY JOSH

Doug: Each player has an Ace, a King, a 10 and a 9. Now, let's bring in the blind cards.

Doug: Question here is worth CY$1500. Again, this may be the first or only blind card question we play in this round -- for reasons I noted earlier. In addition, it is possible that the *hands* will be tied when we finish playing this question. If that happens, no one wins the CY$2500 -- and the player with the better score goes to the finals.

So, I wish you both good luck. Play carefully as we play this crucial question.

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan...
\ is married to an ABC News correspondent
\ played tenor sax in Woody Herman's band
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Josh buzzes in)

Doug: Josh.

Josh: The answer is none of the above

Doug: No, that's wrong. Andy, chance to steal CY$1500.

Andy: played tenor sax in Woody Herman's band

Doug: Right!

 

 

 

ANDY	JOSH

(audience applause)

Doug: Well, Andy, the important card choice goes with you. Left or right?

Andy: Right

 

ANDY JOSH

Doug: That leaves the left card for Josh. Since Josh is trailing, we'll check his last card first.

 

ANDY JOSH

Doug: It's a King! (scattered cheers) Wow. Andy, if your last card is a King, we'll have tie hands, no one gets 2500 -- but you'll win. If it's an Ace, you'll get 2500 for high hand and win. Anything short of a King -- and we play *another* tie breaker.

D.J.,
