QMP I: Finals Deuces Wild Poker
D.J.: So close! Good rank, right color, wrong suit.
Doug: Man alive. Just for the heck of it, what was on the right?
D.J.: Sure you want to see?
(a few "yeahs" from the crowd)
D.J.: The 9 of Spades -- would've made a flush.
Doug: Well, would've made a CY$2000 flush -- instead, you make a CY$1500 straight.
(winning bells; audience applause)
Doug: We'll add this to your previous winnings -- and -- you're still not finished. Guess what, you have another chance at another CY$100,000. (audience cheers) We want to give you and everyone here a taste of what's to come next season on Net Poker. We'll have new themes and new question types we hope you'll enjoy.
And Andy, you're about to play one of those themes. It's a theme we call "What's In A Name?" We're going to show you a person's name and then ask a series of questions. A correct answer to a question includes letters in the person's first and/or last name.
I'll explain as we go. First, let's see the name for this round.
SUSANNA
HOFFSDoug: Yes, we have it on good authority you're a fan of The Bangles -- so we're playing "What's In A Name?" with the name of the lovely lead singer, Susanna Hoffs.
Andy: Funny you mentioned that because I just bought a ticket to see Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC.
Doug: How ironic's that? Hope you have a fun time at thatconcert.
Now, if asked "What Peter Gabriel album includes the songs 'Sledgehammer' and 'Big Time'?", you would say So. because there's an S and an O in her name.
Each correct answer is worth CY$10,000 -- but if you answer all five questions correctly, it all doubles to CY$100,000.
Doug: So, good luck and let's play "What's In A Name?"
What part of speech refers to a person, place or thing?
Andy: Noun
SUSANNA
HOFFSDoug: That's right. (audience applause) Already doing better than Deuces Wild. Ten-grand already. Next question.

SUSANNA
HOFFSDoug: Right again. Three away from CY$100,000. Here's another fill in the blank query...

HOFFS(slot machine payoff sfx; audience cheers) (more confetti cannons go off)
Doug: Ya know, with this mess we're still making, I doubt we'll be invited back to the Bonus Island Resort. (audience laughs) Here or Gulfport. Andy, congratulations. CY$100,000 here, CY$1500 from Deuces Wild and CY$25,000 from the tournament finals -- all combined with your previous winnings gives you a runner-up total of...
Doug: ...CY$316,500. (audience cheers) And I'm sure we're going to see you around in Studio 63 for that new second season. ((smooth jazz theme plays) Music means we've got to take another break. When we return, Robert McBride plays for CY$82,500. It's Net Poker in Tunica.
(audience cheers) (various boom cam shots of the audience)
