 Well the 8 is already yours from the HIGH CARD Toss Up. You already won that toss up and now have control of the Split Decision deck. Now the question is do you want to keep the top card from the Split Decision deck to try to win your own hand, or do you want to pass the Split Decision top card to Immanuel to try to bust his hand?  If you pass it, only an Ace or a 2 would lose for Immanuel. If you keep the top card, it would need to be an 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen or King in order for you to win the hand and the game. |

No problem whatsoever Kevin. I get paid by the word  Kevin, if this card that Witney is about to deal to you fits your split, you will win the hand, $250, the game, PLUS the $400 Blitz Bonus as well. For another $650 and a tie match, does this card fit Kevin's split? Witney...please... deal it up... NOW!  YOU GOT IT!!!!!!!! vocaroo.com/fq6pbLAwfUeIt's another King, and a tie equals a WIN!!!!!!!  Our very first BLITZ Bonus win! Way to go Kevin, and it's a darn good thing you elected to keep that card, otherwise Immanuel would have won that hand! Yes to clarify, in the front game, if the split card is equal to either the common card or the player's card, that counts as a win. During the Pot Limit bonus game, the rules vary at times there. And boy oh boy we have a tie match which means we must play a one hand, sudden death tie-breaker. $250 more will go to the winner of this hand. Let's reset the board. We'll be using the same deck of Split Decision cards for this final hand players, so if you can remember what cards have already been played, that may help factor into your decision making...  First, the $25 puzzle toss up for control of the cards... Looking for a word starting with "N" this time, to link the split words...  OLIVER and POLE...  Immanuel is in first. Immanuel, you have until 8:30pm EST on Tuesday, February 21st to post your answer. |

$25 plus all important control of the deck. First card...  A 2. Are you keeping that, putting it in the center, or giving it to Kevin? |

O I know that was painful to pass a potentially good card to your opponent, but a 2 to 4 split would be bad for you... 2 for Immanuel, 4 for Kevin, common card for this, the determining factor...  A 10. 9 cards will win for you Immanuel, 7 cards will win for you Kevin. Time for the last HIGH CARD Toss Up...still using the same board from game #2  And Immanuel you get to select first, and you again have right of first refusal should you need it. If your selection is an Ace or a 2, you'll retain control of the Split Decision deck automatically. Select a row and a suit please, or you can take the Phyllis Diller lookalike in the center of the board |

You can call me Bob, or you can call me Bill, just don't call me late for supper.  Kevin, your selection now. Six boxes remain but only one has a card that will give you control of the deck. Which box do you take Kevin? |

Did Kevin find that Ace to steal control away?  WHOA! no but ALMOST! That Queen would have done well most other times.  Immanuel, the ball stays in your court, as it were. Decision time. This will mean the game AND the match. Do you keep the next card to try to fit your split, or do you pass it and try to bust Kevin? |

If the card you're about to receive Immanuel is lower than a Jack, you will retain the Split Decision crown. If it is a Jack, Queen, King, or Ace, Kevin will become the new champ. Witney, let's see what card Immanuel has kept... NOW!  vocaroo.com/6PrmkkZf8oCAnother ACE! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! And Kevin Kolsen takes the match! vocaroo.com/9PUonnx6Jg0 I think we've had 4 or 5 Aces bust our players today haven't we? We checked, this is the FOURTH Ace that busted one of you today! Have mercy. Kevin, we'll be with you in just a moment. Immanuel Tims, you had a really tough break at the Pot Limit end game yesterday, and another tough break here today for your reign to have ended. You have been a sensational player to be sure. You won $1,125 today, added to your previous winnings, you're leaving Split Decision $2,125 richer! (applause) Any parting words for us Immanuel? |

That's part of the intrigue of this game...if only you had said "Pass"... And if ifs and buts were candy and nuts... Now I'm making myself hungry!  I know Kevin Kolsen is hungry, hungry to win a LOT of money...a possible $76,000 could be won. When we return, Kevin's first crack at our POT LIMIT end game! Please, stay tuned! |

 After yet another exciting topsy-turvy match, we're here now to play for the really big prize money with our new champion, Kevin Kolsen! Kevin, the $1,325 you won during the match is yours, free and clear. You will be playing this bonus game with house money, and I'll go into further detail in a moment. The first order of business is for Witney to break the seal on a brand new deck of POT LIMIT cards...  Kevin, this deck contains not 52, but 56 (my age) cards, a standard 52 card deck plus 2 Jokers and 2 other new special cards mixed in, and I will explain to you in a moment how those work. Right now Kevin, I need you to please cut the cards by selecting any number higher than 0 but lower than 56. |

Very good. Witney is now wheeling that deck of cards over to her SPLIT board. During the main game of play, you made splits from the deck of cards, but here at POT LIMIT, you will establish your splits by selecting from this board:  14 numbered boxes on this board. Behind each of them is a card from 2 up through Ace. Each one is there only once. You will be allowed a certain number of picks from this board to establish the split upon which you will eventually make a wager. Ace is high, 2 is low. One card in the mix also is the "Acey-Deucey" card. If you uncover that, you can make that into either an Ace or a 2, which ever you wish. We will start you off with $300 in betting money, and the first three hands will allow you to make 4 picks from our board. After the third hand is finished, or if you should run out of money before we play that third hand, you'll move up to the next tier of hands. There you will be given another $600 of betting money, three more hands to play, but this time you'll only get to make THREE picks instead of 4 from this board. Minimum bets are $50 and bets must be in $50 increments during the first 2 tiers of hands. The 7th and final hand, the MAJOR WAGER hand, we'll add another $1,000 of betting money to your bankroll. For this final hand, you must bet at least HALF of your bank total. You will also notice that during the first 3 hands of play, a tie will win you your bet. So if you have a Queen high and a 5 low and the card Witney deals up from your deck is either a Queen or a 5, that tie card will win your wager. During the second tier of hands, hands 4 through 6, a tie is a push which means you will neither win nor lose your bet if your card happens to tie either the high or low card of the split. The Major Wager however, a tie there will in fact LOSE your bet. We do that to add some suspense and drama to the final hand. But we have several things to help you as well Kevin. First of all, we always stake our players to 3 extra picks from the 14 card board, but you may only use one extra pick per hand, and if possible, the longer you can hold off using them, the better it may be for you later on during the game. During match play, one other Bonus Pick card came up and since you won the match, that carried over so you will have a total of FOUR extra bonus card picks from this board Kevin... As I mentioned earlier, this is a 56 card deck. The standard 52 cards are in this deck, plus 2 Jokers and 2 cards marked SECOND CHANCE. If Witney turns up a Joker during any given hand Kevin, not only will you automatically win said hand, but regardless of what your wager is, your bankroll will instantly DOUBLE! Furthermore, if during the final hand, the MAJOR WAGER, a Joker is dealt up between the split, not only will we double your bank total, but you will also win a Super Jackpot which today is worth... $26,000! It starts at 25 grand and grows 1,000 each day until won. Lastly there are 2 cards marked "SECOND CHANCE". If they turn up, we will light up the "SECOND CHANCE" box on the board for you. Should you get a card dealt up that is NOT a fit for your split and you have a Second Chance banked, we will then deal you the next card from the top of the deck to try to help you win. Two SECOND CHANCE cards in the pack, but only one can be played during any given hand. I know that's a lot of rules, but I'll re-explain things as we go along, and should you have any questions in the meantime, you'll be sure to let me know please. Here's $300 (BONG)  Okay Kevin, please select any four of these 14 cards you wish. |

And that gets for you...  Oh a very nice opening split! Ace high, 3 low.  Do you want to stick with that split I'm assuming Kevin? That's about as wide a split as you could hope for, and I am doubtful you want to use up one of your extra bonus picks to try to find a deuce or the Acey Deucey card, am I right? And if you want to stick with this split, please place a wager on whether the top card from your deck will fit the split. Remember a tie card right now will also win the wager for you Kevin. |

Post by billmcdee on Feb 24, 2023 12:37:10 GMT -5
For $250, is this card higher than a 3 and lower than an Ace?  Yes! (applause)  Up to $550 now...  Second hand time Kevin, select 4 numbers please. |
