QMP I: Finals Round 2Rich: Any player who makes a natural royal flush in this championship show of the Net Poker Quarter Million Playoff wins a trip for every season around the world.
Rich: We start with the hot summer nights and sun and fun in Acapulco, Mexico. Then in the fall, a fabulous vacation to beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. In the winter, it's off to spectacular Zurich, Switzerland. And in the spring, an unforgettable visit to the city of romance -- Paris, France. This trip of a lifetime includes a six-night stay at a luxury hotel in each city -- compliments of Club Universe. And as an extra bonus -- another CY$100,000 to spend on souvenirs.
Rich: And now, back to Doug Morris and the Net Poker Quarter Million Playoff.
Doug: Thanks, Rich. BTW, that bonus prize package will also apply if Dustin Riley or Robert McBride accomplish a natural royal flush *or* five of a kind. You'll see them play Joker Poker as we wrap up the main game we've been playing over the course of this mini-series. But that game's in the future. Let's concentrate on the present...
A.SILIKOVITZ A.GELLER 
Doug: We have a close game after one round of play. Andy Silikovitz leads by CY$500 over Andy Geller.
We'll resume our finals in a moment. But as is customary in our regular games, when a champion is on the verge of an undefeated championship, we give him or her a chance to say "hi" to friends and loved ones. We'll do that here and we'll start with our current leader, Andy Silikovitz.
Andy Silikovitz: I'd like to say hi to my mom Arlene and my dad Ron. Hello also to David Hammond and Michael Clifford (wish you were here)
Doug: Note to David, this is a great place to hold a Net Top Card tourney. They'll comp your room and everything. As for Michael, we'll see him on the Quarter Million Playoff of our sister show, The Big Risk. Andy Geller, chance for you to send a shout out or two.
Andy Geller: I'd like to say hello to all our Game Show friends out there, and a special hello to all Mets fans. Maybe this year is our year.
(some Mets fans in the crowd applaud and cheer)
Andy Geller: I wanted to say that I am excited about Chain Reaction coming back to GSN soon, and yes it will be taped in NYC. It is nice to see Game Show production in NYC making a little comeback. I knew it would someday.
Doug: Even though it's on another network, I'm looking forward to Chain Reaction, too. It was a real fun show back in the '80s and the best of luck to everyone involved in that production.
OK, back to business. The players are building on the scores from the previous round. The questions are still worth CY$500 each -- until we get to the CY$750 blind-card question.

D.J.: The King of Clubs and the 9 of Hearts.
Doug: For the next query, we're going to the movies. That "meathead" Rob Reiner... (light laughter from the crowd) Remember, that's Archie Bunker's-slash-Carroll O'Connor's opinion, not mine.

ANDY SILIKOVITZ
ANDY GELLER
Doug: ...D.J. has the cards in place. Let's see who wins CY$1250. Let's see Andy Silikovitz's last card first.
ANDY SILIKOVITZ
ANDY GELLER

A.SILIKOVITZ A.GELLER Doug: Let's reveal the rest of Andy Geller's hand.
ANDY SILIKOVITZ
ANDY GELLER
Doug: Oh, would you look at that? (few groans and gasps from the crowd) If Andy G. picked the right blind card, Andy S. would be leading. (smooth jazz theme plays) After two rounds, Andy Geller has CY$4750 and Andy Silikovitz has CY$3250.
One round decides our grand champion -- and winner of CY$250,000. You don't want to go away.
(audience cheers) (various shots of nightlife around Tunica)
