(BONG)
Matt's gonna try to ride those aces to victory, but a mere three-of-a-kind would win it for you, Antonio. You'll have to avoid the Whammies, though. You must take Matt's passed spins to start with -- have at it.

Stop on the Jack of Spades. Okay, a couple more of those and you're in business.
(ding)
Two passed spins to go, Antonio.

Two flashes and... (ding)
Stop on the three of diamonds.
(ding)
Nothing much to your hand so far, but lots of spins to go if you need them -- one more passed spin to take as well, Antonio.

Well, still nothing doing in terms of a winning poker hand. 11 spins and one slot to fill. Press or pass, Antonio?

Three board flashes and... (ding)
...oooh, you just missed that Wild Card that would have come in handy, you stopped on a deuce.
(ding)
With your hand filled in Antonio, you must now discard somehow in order to have any chance to win the bonus since you are technically in third place in terms of a poker hand behind Matt's pair of aces and Bryan's pair of kings. You have plenty of spins left and if you could land on a discard (or that Wild Card which is one way it can be used -- as a discard), you'd get one for free. The Swap card is also in play in this round, although it hasn't appeared as yet I don't believe. You also have plenty of cash and can purchase discards for $1,000 each.
Another school of thought would be to keep spinning and land on enough big bucks to surpass Matt's total despite not having the best poker hand. As is stands currently, Matt would end up with $8,750 total with the best hand bonus.
You could also pass your spins to Matt, but if he was to Whammy on his last spin for example, Bryan would win the game as his kings would give him the $5,000 bonus and that would beat your current score.
There's lots of possibilities, Antonio. How to do want to play it, sir?

$1,000 deduction for that discard. Still 10 earned spins to go. Still enough cash for more discards if you like. What next, Antonio?

Stop on... (ding)
...the King of Hearts -- not much there, I'm afraid -- you swapped one unhelpful face card for another.
(ding)
The King actually could help you if you somehow found the last one -- the King of Spades -- or the other Joker, a Wild Card or a Swap card. A pair of Kings and Queen as a high card would beat Bryan's pair of Kings and Jack, giving you the second-best hand and some leverage in passing spins to Matt if you wanted to. Matt's pair of aces, thanks to that Joker he has, still leads. You have three diamonds there, so going for a Flush, which would give you best hand, is a possibility as well.
Of course, doing any of those things would first require additional discards. The good news is that you still have 9 spins and some cash to play with, so there's no panic quite yet.
What next, Antonio?

Well, your position remains the same. Second place in terms of cash at the moment, $50 ahead of Bryan and third in terms of a poker hand. Press or pass, Antonio?

I hate having to enforce slow play rules, but there is a Net Game rule that states if you are participating in a show, you are to check the thread at least once a day. I did PM Antonio after 24 hours telling him it was his turn. It has now been more than 48 hours and I see no mention on the vacation thread of an absence for him, so effective immediately, the following slow play penalties are in effect for this show (applied only if you haven't said you'll be away in the Vacation thread): - After 48 hours (2 days) without a reply, you lose an earned spin
- After 72 hours (3 days) without a reply, you lose another earned spin
- After 96 hours (4 days) without a reply, you lose another earned spin and you are given a Whammy
- After 120 hours (5 days) without a reply, you lose another earned spin and you are given another Whammy
- After 144 hours (6 days) without a reply, you are eliminated from the show
Since I had not stated these rules at the beginning of the show, it would not be fair to penalize Antonio at this point. But the clock starts now -- if he does not respond within 48 hours from this post, he'll lose a spin.

...the three of clubs! Well, that gives you a paying hand at least, but still leaves you third among the poker hands.

Still 5 spins to play with and lots of cash up on that board, plus some free discards if you can land on one. What shall it be Antonio, press or pass?
