13 is... Nice! $200 more! (ding) $300 more will win you this game. Two cards will give you an instant win, three will end the game as there are still 3 strikes lurking up there, and 3 others will increase your $700 total. Which number now?

$300! You got it! (dinging) \ Now you'll get to multiply that $1,000 Raymond. Hidden behind each of the 4 letters in GOLD is a multiplier card, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Which letter do you want?

What multiplier lurks behind the "L" today? A 2, therefore you win $2,000 more Raymond! (applause) (commercial theme) Raymond has $2,550, all his no matter what. Matt has $125 thus far. When we return, we will play game 2 of this match. More blocking to come, right after these words of interest. Won't you please watch? Thank you!

(applause) We had one doozy of a first game with two very fine and knowledgeable contestants. Raymond's speed and blocking at just the right time gave him just a bit of an edge and has $2,550 to his credit thus far. Matt, if you win game number 2, you will get to play Gold Rush for up to $5,000 and maybe even more. In Game number one Raymond had to connect top to bottom while Matt had to connect side to side. We've changed the board for game 2 to make it Even-Steven, Raymond, this time you have to connect side to side while Matt, you have to connect top to bottom. Since the Bonus jackpot was not won in the last game, we've deposited another $250 into it, so it's worth $750 for this game. To win it you must capture the block with the bonus attached to it and then win the game. Matt captured the bonus last game but fell short by one block of winning it. Matt you get to select the first letter for this game, trying to connect top to bottom.

O is where we shall start, Matt trying to establish an anchor at the bottom, Raymond trying to capture this one for himself of course. What "O" was the name of a checkers type game made by Gabriel, and is also the name of a Shakespearan play? (buzz in) Raymond, your answer please.

(game will resume this afternoon, also please see note below)
Since we will be helping my son move this Saturday, August 26th, we'll be busy pretty much all of Saturday and I probably will not be on here much if at all. Friday I'll probably be on very limited as we'll want to spend time with our son, plus we have a new dryer being delivered to us on Friday as well.

(Applause) Hello again! Just a quick recap so far, Raymond Weaver won game 1 of this match and already has $2,550 and 3 red blocks on the board, trying to connect side to side. Raymond also captured the bonus block so if he wins this game, he will win a $750 bonus before playing the Bonus Bonanza game. Matt Ringgenberg has $125 so far and one block showing here in game two, trying to win this game and tie up the match, but his top to bottom pattern has been thwarted thus far by Raymond. And Raymond, since you gave the last correct answer, you get to select which letter we'll play next, red trying to connect side to side this game.
