And just like that, we have our match. All deadlines are 48 hours and here we go.
(cue 1987 HR intro)
Rich: And now, a game of high stakes! Where every decision is a gamble and every move could be your last. High Rollers! (Main theme) And here's the man with all the action, Mark Liotta! (I come out to a tremendous applause from the audience)
Me: Thank you! Thank you, Rich Fields. Thanks everybody. Welcome again to our game of skill, strategy and those unpredictable dice. It's Christmastime around here and we have livened up the set with some beautiful Christmas decorations that we hope you enjoy. We also hope you enjoy today's match, which involves the two players that Rich will introduce us to right now.
Rich: Our returning champion is Ian Sherman, who has a three day total of $122,573 in cash and prizes. Opposing Ian today is a courtesy clerk from Council Bluffs, Iowa. Matt Riggenberg.
Me: Well Matt, seeing as we're in the Christmas season now, what do you like best about the holidays?

Ah yes, I like those too. My personal favorites would have to include Rudolph, Frosty and Garfield Christmas. Good luck to you, Matt. Rich, what do we have in our prize columns for Game 1?
Rich: In column number one, a lovely Christmas tree. Make the season bright with this spectacular 15' x 106" Cashmere Pine Dura-Lit Christmas tree with 3,850 clear white lights. You'll love how compactly this 15 inch tree folds down without taking up a lot of storage space and you're saving a tree year after year. Comes complete with sturdy stand. Retail value: $4,600. In column two, a set of decorations. Make Christmas extra special at home with your own set of Christmas decorations. Includes wreath and stockings. Retail value: $2,000. And in column three, in honor of completing our first calendar year on CBS, we're offering $10,000 in cash.
Me: Nice prizes up there. All right, total value of $16,600 for our Game 1 board, and let's load the numbers.
3 5 7
4 2 8
1 9 6
Column one is the hot column this time, and here's our first question. What Bing Crosby holiday song was made into a movie in 1954?

That will clear off column one and put the Christmas tree into your prize column, Matt
X 5 7
X X 8
X 9 X
And we now have four numbers remaining on the board, so strategy becomes critical. In 1897, an editorial appeared in the now defunct New York Sun and had a holiday special made based from it. What is the name of the special?

You're right, and there are now only three numbers left that can be rolled. Those numbers happen to be the three that are left on the board, which are the 7, the 8 and the 9. Roll or pass, Ian?
