It was good. It stayed faithful to the comic strip.

When it comes to comics, that's what I want to see. Too bad Marvel can't do that. Matt you have the lead hope it holds up!
(I shake Matt's hand and walk to Kevin)

Tameka, was the next card an Ace? Tameka: Nope it was a King! (WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)   I guess a little sigh of relief for Matt there at the moment, but both are now eligible for the BlackJack is still intact worth $13,000.

Freezing on 16, meaning Kevin must get 17. 21 for the BlackJack which could be worth $16,400! Kevin here is your question:  Ralph Waldo Emerson Thomas Jefferson Mark Twain Henry David Thoureau Who drafted the Declaration Of Independence? |

Thomas Jefferson is right! (ding ding ding ding ding, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) Kevin, we all know you won't bust on the first card, but a 7 or better will give you the lead! An Ace will win the BlackJack! Tameka show us the next card!.... It's a King! 20, you win!!!   (Huge applause, 1987 HR ending) Well Kevin just missed hitting a BlackJack, but he did have enough to beat Matt to win $300 and take the lead. Matt you did earn a Joker during the game, but unfortunately you lost. We will however give you $100 for that Joker as a consolation! (applause)  But after Game 2, the real score is Kevin with $300, Matt with $250! Any 21 now at $8,100 while the BlackJack is $16,200! We'll be right back with our $350 game when we return to more of Gambit On FOX! Don't you dare go anywhere! (Huge applause) (HR 1987 plays to commercial) |

(HR 1987 theme) Rich: Now back to Gambit and Bryan Law! Thanks once again Rich, we have a close match going. Each player has won one game, Kevin is in the lead with $300, Matt with $250. Next game is worth $350, which means someone will take a commanding lead. Our Joker Board is still up,when we were hoping Matt would have a shot, but had to win to cash it in. He did however as a consolation earn $100 for that one Joker. There are 17 remaining in the deck.  Stacey has returned to start off this next game. Did you miss us? (Laughter) Stacey: Of course, I love being part of the excitement! Well we're glad you're back to be a part of the excitement! If you will, start us off with the first please! Stacey: Sure thing Bryan, we have a 9! (Applause)  Great card to start off with! Any 21 now starts at $9,000, BlackJack at $18,000! Thank you Stacey and here's your first question. Siberian Bengal Sumatran Caspin Which variety of tiger is the largest? Matt: 2 Kevin: 1 Random.org: 14 Matt! |
