Place it with the 4, 6 and 3s, please.

All right, another card on the top hand...
[_20_]|[4♣][6♥][3♦][3♥][4♠]
[_10_]|[K♠]
[_21_]|[A♠][K♥]
At this point, two Aces will give you $25,000. You still have that $1,000 from your first victory. What do you want to do?

I still have breathing room. Let's play and see another card, please.

All right, then. We hope that next card is an Ace. Charlene, deal it, please.
[J♣]
Charlene: *winces* It's a Jack.
Oh, and there's only one place for it...
[_20_]|[4♣][6♥][3♦][3♥][4♠]
[_20_]|[K♠][J♣]
[_21_]|[A♠][K♥]
If you want any hope of winning $25,000, the next two cards Charlene draws must be Aces. Any other card at this point means a bust and you lose your $1,000. This may be the final time I ask this. Do you want to quit?

Well, if that Jack were a 5 or less, I might go for it.
But I don't even think the next card's an Ace -- much less both of the next two.
I'll freeze here and take my grand.

*applause*
Sounds like the audience agrees with that move, Doug. When we add the grand you took here to your other winnings, you leave us with $4,900 in cash and prizes. Not bad for a day's work. However, let's see what would have happened had you chosen to go on. Charlene, did Doug make the right move? Deal the next card and we'll find out together...
[7♦]
Charlene: He sure did, it's a seven!
Me: Too bad the luck wasn't with you in the bonus round, Doug. Enjoy the cash and prizes you won.
That's all the time we have for Catch 21, we'll see you next time!
