Very well the 9 belongs to Kourtney. And the common card will be...  A King! A very nice split for you George, a somewhat tighter one for Kourtney. Time for our final High Card toss-up for game 1.  George, please select any two of the remaining boxes and in the order in which you'd like them to be revealed. If your first pick is either the Queen or the 3, you'll retain control of the cards automatically. |

Very well under 7 we see...  A Bonus Draw token! You are now credited with that George and if you win the match today and play Pot Limit, you'll take that with you. Now the card...  A 9. Tricky situation here George. Three cards will beat it, three cards will lose to it. Do you want to keep the 9 and let Kourtney make a pick, or pass the 9 to Kourtney and hope your other choice will be higher than the 9? |

Go big or go home. I am pass the 9.

Let's see if you did go big here George...  OH NO! A three! Yipes stripes, but it's not over yet.  Kourtney, you are in control of the deck now. You can keep the next card, and if it's a 9, 10, Jack, Queen or King, you'll win game 1. If not, you'll get a second chance and even a third chance if necessary by virtue of the TWO insurance markers you now have. You could pass the card to George, he has no insurance, but only three cards would bust him, ten would win for him. Kourtney do you want to play it yourself, or pass to George? |

I am going to play and hope I won’t have to use both insurance cards.

Let's see Kourtney. Will you lose an insurance marker with this first card?  NO! And you WIN game 1! (win cue) www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 George, that first game came right down to the wire. And who knows, had you kept that 9 during the High Card Toss-Up, Kourtney very well may have beaten it. But you're far from through, as it takes two games to win the match. Kourtney, you won that game 3 hands to 2, which means you'll be playing our Half & Half bonus game for a chance at $500.  We have split a dollar sign in half. Concealed behind 2 of these 3 numbered boxes are the 2 halves of that dollar sign. Your job is to uncover both halves and in the correct order. In other words, you must uncover the left side of the dollar sign with your first pick. If you do so, you'll then have a decision to make. If not, the game ends right here and now. One of the 3 boxes has a frown so if you pick that, the game is over too. Which of these three boxes do you believe is concealing the LEFT side of the dollar sign today Kourtney? |

Let’s try number 2.

Post by billmcdee on Jul 2, 2023 19:39:59 GMT -5
Is the left side of that dollar sign under 2?  (buzzer) No...that was the right side I'm afraid. Well, no bonus money here but you do have the lead in the match and TWO count them TWO insurance markers in hand! Back with game #2 of this match after these words of interest! |

(fade into applause)  Welcome back to Split Decision. We had one whale of a first game in today's match, and we're hoping for another one here in game 2!  Kourtney took game 1, coming from behind, as he so often does, and has $1,125 so far today and TWO insurance markers! George so far you're $400 to the good and have 1 Bonus Draw card for Pot Limit, but you'll need to win 2 games in a row to get there! Witney has just broken the seal on a fresh deck of 54 cards, before we begin this game George, I'll ask you to please cut the deck by selecting a number higher than 0 but lower than 54. |

I had a feeling you might do 24 again! Okay, so as previously stated, the 3 hand blitz will now be worth, and forevermore shall be worth...  Five C notes, or is that for Bid A Note? Let's see the value of our first puzzle and first hand here in game 2...  $25 for this toss up and $225 for this first hand. I need a 5 letter word this time starting with J that connects the link...  CIRCUIT with JUDY tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/be-buzzer.wav And Kourtney is in first. As this is Independence Day as of this posting, I will relax the 48 hour deadline once again, but if you can answer sooner that would be most appreciated Kourtney. |

Well done Kourtney. $25 more for you and control of the deck. First card is...  A King. Where's that going champ? |

To me.  |

Post by billmcdee on Jul 4, 2023 18:14:00 GMT -5
A good card to keep, perhaps... Next card is...  A three. Is that going in the middle or are you passing it to George? |
|

Post by pathfinder20 on Jul 4, 2023 19:00:19 GMT -5
That’s going to the middle.

No surprise whatsoever. And the card going to George is...  Oh my! A 2! Very wide spread for you Kourtney, very tight squeeze there for you George. Let's see how it plays out. Time for a high card toss up. The board has been reshuffled with all 13 cards again...  And our art department has been hard at work with the new High Card Toss Up logo, very nice. Kourtney, please select any two boxes. |

Let’s try 2 and 8.
|

|
|
Post by billmcdee on Jul 5, 2023 5:44:43 GMT -5
Behind two we have...  A 5. As you can see Kourtney, nine cards will beat it, three will lose to it. Do you want to keep the 5 and let George make a selection, or refuse it and give it to George and see what is under box eight? |
|
|
|
Post by pathfinder20 on Jul 5, 2023 6:52:29 GMT -5
Pass the 5 to George.

Post by billmcdee on Jul 5, 2023 7:04:16 GMT -5
Let us see what you kept Kourtney...  Only a 3! This means George YOU now are in control of the deck:  George, you're in kind of a pickle here. Only another 2 or another 3 will fit your split while in Kourtney's case, only an Ace or a 2 would lose for him, plus he has 2 insurance markers so he'd get at least 3 chances. Unenviable decision on you George, but do you want to keep the card and HOPE it's another 2 or 3, or pass and hope that Kourtney will bust several times? |
|

Post by bighornbattle on Jul 5, 2023 7:59:52 GMT -5
I will try it myself.

A very difficult choice. Let's see if it might work out though. He needs this card to be a 2 or a 3 to win this hand...  tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/hr-double.wavWell look at that, somebody other than Kourtney got an insurance marker!  Now George you have 2 chances to draw another 2 or another 3 to win this hand. Did he do it?  tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/hr-double.wavMy goodness! Back to Back insurance markers?!?!?! Well that's the last of them in this deck!  Now George you have THREE chances to fit the split. Next card please...  An Ace! No good. We take back one insurance marker.  Two more chances still. Next card please Witney...  An 8. No good. The last insurance marker gets taken back.  George, this is your last chance to win this first hand. Witney, if you have any strength left in those little arms of yours, deal up the next card please...  Oh no! It's a Jack, and after 2 hours and a half, Kourtney, you won that hand! www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 And to quote Kevin Henry, the host of Gold Rush on youtube courtesy of MVG Productions "Jiminy Christmas!" |

Onward to another puzzle. The puzzle is worth...  Fifty bucks if you ring in first with the correct answer, and this hand will pay $150 to the winner. Looking this time for a 7 letter word starting with "L" connecting the split...  Abraham with Nebraska tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/be-buzzer.wav George you are in first, and now that we're through the Independence Day holiday, the standard 48 hour deadline will take hold once again. Your answer is needed no later than 11:45am EST on Friday, July 7th George. |

And for that you just earned 5,000 more pennies, all bearing the likeness of old Honest Abe, and control of the cards earned as well. First card for your consideration George is...  an eight. Are you keeping it, giving it to Kourtney or placing it in the center? |

Pass it.

The 8 belongs to Kourtney. Next card up...  A 7. Where's that being placed George? |
