Doug: Eddie's freezing -- the others keep going. If the next card's a 7, 8, 9 or Joker, Eddie will have a big lead going into that important third round. Anything else -- and we'll have a tight game. Fellers, reveal that third card, please.

 


(winning bells; audience applause)

Doug: Winner, winner, chicken dinner; 4 of Spades.

Doug: OK, challengers. If you both froze right now, there would be a CY$500 difference between first and third place. Brian would have 2400, we know for sure Eddie would have 2100 going into Round 3 and Matt would have 1900. But, if you risk it on the next card, you'll either win a lot more or lose a lot. Freeze or risk?

Doug: Just for the record, Aces are high in this particular card game. Now, Brian, plain and simple. There's one more turn of the card this round.

If you risk it, it's just you versus Harry. If there's a 7, 8, 9 or Joker behind the fifth and final space, you end this round the way you ended the last round -- flat broke. Anything else and you'll have a total of CY$9600 to build on in the final round.

(audience says "Go! Go!")

Doug: You hear their suggestion -- but what's your call? Freeze -- or risk?

Brian: I'm going with the gusto! I'll risk again!

Doug: Brian, you went five-for-five and -- uh -- we have an unhappy dealer in Harry. If I'm not mistaken, that's the first time we've had someone sweep the board in Five-Card Risk. Well, I said this is the round where hundreds could become thousands -- and Brian turned CY$300 into CY$9600. As the players rake in their net gains...
