Doug: We're back on The Big Risk. If you're just tuning in, you missed a massacre at the dice table. But we'll start our players' rebound right now as we spot them each CY$100 in this round.

Doug: Questions in this round are worth CY$100 each. Then, we'll go play Five-Card Risk where you can double your score up to five times. May you all have much better luck than the last round and here we go...
True or false: Putting "English" on a cue ball makes it spin backwards.
Doug: Jason.
Jason: I don't remember seeing anybody do that on "Ballbreakers". I'll say true.
Doug: It is true.

Doug: Harry must've put some English on those dice in the last roll.
(DH gives Doug a dirty look) (light laughter from the crowd)
Doug: Just sayin'. Next query.
What Cleveland radio disc jockey coined the term "rock and roll"?

Jason: Alan Freed
Doug: Right again.

Doug: And that's time. Jason leads with 400, the others tied at 300. Now let's see if we can turn the hundreds into thousands with Five-Card Risk. Deej?
D.J.: Thanks, Doug. During the break, Dirty Harry shuffled a deck of 54 playing cards, including two Jokers, and place the top five cards of the deck accordingly behind the numbered spaces. He also randomly determined the theme of the Five-Card Risk and tonight it is...
D.J.: ...Any Face Loses. In a moment, you'll place a bet on the first card in the hope it's not a King, Queen or Jack. If it isn't a face card, the payoff is 1-to-1 and then you'll decide whether to freeze and keep your winnings -- or risk and try and double what you just doubled.
Remember the Jokers are wild cards -- but they also represent face cards. So, any face card or Joker ends the round and all of your cyber-money at risk goes into Dirty Harry's Swiss bank account.
(light laughter from the crowd)
Doug: Don't deny it, pal. Minimum bet is CY$100 -- and you still must bet in increments of CY$50. Good luck and place your bets.

(BB87 Gold Run loss sfx; audience groans)
Doug: Oh, no, you di-int!
(DH grins puckishly)
Doug: Doug: A 1 in 27 chance we'd get shot down like this and look what happened. OY! ("A Little Less Conversation" plays) Well, at least each of you still have some cyber-money going into the next round. We're all tied at 200. We're going to take a break, I'm going to find the button that activates the trapdoor Harry's standing on and when we come back, we'll play Round 3 with the Final Risk. Stay there.
ADVANCE TO ROUND 3
