Making a nice split from a Queen all the way down to a 4 for yourself Kevin. Witner, err...sorry, Witney, Immanuel is rooting for a low card, Kevin is rooting for a high card. What is Immanuel's card for this hand?  It's a seven, a fair compromise! Immanuel, you will win this hand and the first game of this match if you are given or if you take the next card and that card is a 7 through a Queen, Kevin, a Queen down to a 4 will win you this hand and tie up our game at 2 hands apiece. Time for the HIGH CARD toss up:  And now Kevin YOU get to pick from this board, and YOU will now have the right of first refusal. Obviously if your selection is either an Ace or a 5, you will win this toss up automatically. Please select either top, middle, or bottom as well as a suit, or you can take the Joker box if you wish. |

He's hoping for either an Ace or a 5...  It is a ten. Kevin, as you can see by the chart, if you keep that 10, 4 cards will beat it, 3 will lose to it. Kind of a middle of the road here, another Split Decision for you. Are you keeping the 10 or giving that to Immanuel? |

 The ten is now in blue, which is Kevin's color for this match. Immanuel, you have a slightly better than 50/50 chance to top that ten. 7 Boxes remain, which one are you taking Immanuel? |

Did Immanuel better Kevin's 10 to wrestle control away from him?  OH YES! A QUEEN! Immanuel you now are in control of the next card...  A pivotal decision. Do you keep the card for yourself and hope it is a fit between your 7 and Queen, or do you pass it to Kevin and hope to perhaps bust him? |

If the card is anywhere from a 7 up to a Queen, Immanuel will win the hand and take the first game of the match. Witney...  OH! It's a POT LIMIT BONUS DRAW card! This means whoever wins the match today will take that to the Pot Limit end game and that will give them an extra draw from the bonus board, and that could prove very valuable! So now there will be 4 extra draws for our Pot Limit end game. We're still needing to determine the winner of this hand, so here comes the next card...to you Immanuel it is a...  WINNER!!!!! (first few notes of the theme play) (BONG BONG)  $250 more for winning that third hand Immanuel, you have $575 so far, Kevin the $125 you picked up in game one is yours to keep. Immanuel, this now qualifies you to play our brand new mini bonus game called HALF & HALF...  And the HALF & HALF Jackpot always starts out at $1,000 and grows by $500 per show until it is won. You might win all of it, or you might win half of it or $500, or you might only win half of THAT or $250, or you may win nothing at all. The four card suits make up the game board. Hidden behind two of those suits are two halves of a dollar sign. The other two suits have half of a sad face. If your first 2 picks are the 2 halves of the dollar sign, you will win the entire $1,000. If in your first 2 picks you uncover one half of the dollar sign and one half of the frown, then you will be playing for half, or $500. Should this happen, if your 3rd and final pick be the other half of that dollar sign, you'll get $500, otherwise, you'll just get $250. Should your first 2 picks be both halves of the frown though, the game is over and you will win zero bonus money in this mini bonus game Immanuel. So please at this time select the 2 suits that you think will be the luckiest for you, as we try to put together the split dollar sign in just 2 tries for $1,000! |

First behind the Spade today is...  (groans) half a frown...so now we're trying to win $500... Let's see if half of the dollar sign is under the CLUB?  Indeed it is! You're guaranteed at least $250 now. But let's win $500 Immanuel. Which other suit the Heart or the Diamond, has the other half of that dollar sign? |

Before we reveal what's behind the Heart, I would like to point out that the left and right sides of the face and the dollar sign might not necessarily correspond in the proper order. For $500 though let's see...  This time it worked out that way! So another $500 to you!  Tomorrow's show the HALF & HALF Jackpot will grow to $1,500. Right now we need to split for a moment... Back with game 2 of this match, right after this! |

(intro music)  We are pleased to be back. The 3 hand Blitz bonus is now worth $400 for this game. If it is not won during this game, it will grow to $450 at the start of tomorrow's program.  The deck that was not chosen for game one is now here for game 2. Witney, please break the seal and with our ever growing digest of rules, the rules state that the player who lost game #1 gets to cut the cards. Kevin, please select a number higher than 0 but lower than 54 to cut this deck, and we shall see if this cut will prove luckier for you during this second game of our match. |

Alrighty, let's see what the fate of the cards has in store for our players this time out. A $25 toss-up, looking for a word starting with F this time, that links the split...  AMERICAN with FOOTBALL...  Kevin you rang in first. You have until 8:05pm EST on Saturday, February 18th to post your answer. |

Right for $25! First card this time is...  A little deuce! Kevin do you want that on your side, or in the center, or are you going to give that to Immanuel? |

Post by koopakid17 on Feb 16, 2023 21:23:01 GMT -5
I'll keep it.

That should come as a surprise to no one. Next card...  A six. Kevin is that going to Immanuel or are you going to place that in the middle? |
|

Post by koopakid17 on Feb 16, 2023 21:46:40 GMT -5
Give it to Immanuel.

Immanuel has a 6, Kevin has a 2, and the common card that they will share this time is...  OH A BIG KING! 6 to a King spread, not too bad, 8 cards will win there, but look at Kevin! ONLY an Ace would lose for him there.  Time once again for our High Card Toss Up to determine who will get control of that pivotal, final card from the deck. The cards 2 through Ace have been reshuffled and we have a fresh board here for this game. Kevin please select top, middle or bottom, and a suit, or if you prefer, you can take the Joker in the center. Remember you get right of first refusal, and should you draw either an Ace or a 2, you'll automatically win this High Card toss-up. |

Post by billmcdee on Feb 17, 2023 5:26:23 GMT -5
Hoping for something really high or really low...  Hmmm, a 7, a near middle card Kevin. If you keep it, Immanuel's odds of bettering you would be 7 to 5. Are you keeping that for yourself, or refusing it, thus passing it to Immanuel and selecting again Kevin? |

Post by koopakid17 on Feb 17, 2023 8:17:06 GMT -5
I'm gonna pass it.

The 7 goes to Immanuel. Kevin select another box please.

To maintain control of the deck...  Oh no! Only a five there! Immanuel now has control of the next card...  An Ace, and ONLY an Ace would lose for Kevin at this point. You will need the card to be anywhere from a 6 up to a King to win this hand Immanuel. Are you keeping the card or passing it to Kevin, hoping that it might be an Ace? |

Post by babytims on Feb 17, 2023 21:57:54 GMT -5
I will keep this one, and hope that it fits!

We shall see... Remember we did have not one but TWO Aces pop up in the "fit" space during game one of this match, but pretty much you're forced to keep it I'd say. Witney, if you would please...  No (buzzer)... And Kevin takes the first hand of game 2! Immanuel, unfortunately that 3 would have lost, even if Kevin had received it. But a valiant try!  That's another $100 for you Kevin and the early lead, but remember it takes THREE hands to win a game. Kevin, you're the only one in the running for the $400 Blitz Bonus now. Onto our next toss up puzzle players. We are looking for a word starting with W that will connect this split...  TUMBLE and KILLER  And now Kevin is on a hot streak with the buzz codes! Kevin, you will have until 4:15am EST on Monday, February 20th, to post your answer. |
