So now we set up for the tie-breaker. Only ONE hand this time. I'll establish the value of the puzzle and the hand. We will pay 4 times the value of the hand this time around...  The puzzle is worth $75 if you ring in first with a correct answer, and the hand will be worth $800! I need a 7 letter word, starting with E, that connects the link:  ROMAN with PENGUIN tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/be-buzzer.wav George you are in first and you have until 5:20am EST on Tuesday, July 11th to post your answer. |

Correct for $75 and control of the cards. Keep in mind too that we're still using the same deck that we started game 2 with. First card:  It's a King. Where do you want that to go George? |

I figured you might. Next card up...  A 10. Where do you want that to go George? |

Very well... And the common card will be:  An 8. So again a very tight split for our champion, and a slightly larger split for you George. Time for our final High Card toss up.  Six boxes left George. Select any two. And if the first one you pick is an Ace or a 4, you'll keep control of the cards. |

Very well. Under nine is...  An Ace! That's an automatic winner there George. You retain control of the deck. Do you wish to keep this next card to try to fit your split, or pass to Kourtney to try to bust him? |

We shall find out in just a moment whether or not your gut was right George. If another 8, a 9 or another 10 turns up, Kourtney will his 4th match and play Pot Limit. Anything else, and George will be crowned the new Split Decision champion and go on to play for over $50,000, with 3 Bonus Draw tokens in tow! The card he passed to Kourtney is...  A Jack, that's a bust! And George Cluster is our new Split Decision champion! (win cue) www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 George congratulations. We'll be back with you in just a moment. Kourtney, it took a while but you were finally defeated. Any final thoughts or words before we tell you your final total? |

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Wished it was later. However, George is a great player andI hope he has a great run as well. Get a joker for me.

Kourtney, you won $1,400 today, and added to what you won previously, a grand total of $26,625 in cash! A very nice round of applause for a very good run, for Kourtney Wilson!  When we return, we will have George taking on the house, Pot Limit after these words! |

(first few notes of theme, fade into applause)  OOOOOOO it is time once again for our exciting end game POT LIMIT, and for the first time in 4 episodes, we have somebody NOT named Kourtney playing it. George, you are our new Split Decision champion, congratulations on that and on winning $2,225 during the match. And that is yours to keep no matter what. Now you will be playing against the house for a chance to win up to $50,000 more.  Witney is now presenting you with a freshly shuffled 54 card deck. It's a standard 52 card deck plus 2 Jokers mixed in there as well, and they can benefit you greatly. Right now, as she breaks the seal on this deck, we'll ask you to give them a cut by selecting a number higher than 0 but lower than 54. Dare I assume you're going with 24 again George? |

I have the same affection toward the exact value of pi. The cards are cut, now let me call attention to our game board in all its splendor.  Now then George with this game board, you will establish what each split will be at the start of each hand you play. The cards 2 through Ace are all hidden up there, and each one is there only once. In addition, one of the cards is an Acey-Deucey card. If you select that one, your split automatically becomes an Ace high and 2 (Deuce) low. After a split is establish, you will then make a wager as to how confident you are that the top card from your deck, the one you just cut, will fit in that split. If it fits, we'll add the wager to your bank total, if not, we'll subtract it. You will play a maximum of 7 hands and we will stake you to $300 to begin with. www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 During the first level of play, a maximum of 3 hands, you will get to select as many as 4 of these 14 numbered cards to establish your split. To further assist you George, we automatically stake you to 3 Bonus Draw tokens however, you picked up 3 more during the match so you have a total of six, which is a record, albeit we've only aired 5 full episodes thus far. Nevertheless, having 6 is sensational, especially since you may use only 1 per hand. You'll also notice that during the first level of play, if your card ties either the high or low card in the split, you'll still win your wager. During the second level of play, a tie means a "push" meaning you'll neither win nor lose any money. When we get to that final hand though, that Major wager, a push will equal a loss, so be careful there! I would also like to call your attention to the four suits on the board. Concealed behind 2 of them, at random, is a "SECOND CHANCE" card. If, and only if you would lose money during a hand will you have a chance to find one of those cards. You will have a total of two opportunities to find the Second Chance cards during this game, but no more than once during any level of play. Lastly, I want to explain that should a Joker turn up from your deck, not only is that an instant winner, but we will pay you your total Pot Limit at that time, regardless of your wager.  And if a Joker turns up during the Major Wager, not only will we double your pot limit, but you will also win a growing Joker's Jackpot which today is worth... (clang)  $30,000! So the potential for $80,000 to be won here! George if you have any questions feel free to ask. Otherwise if not, please select any four of the fourteen numbers on our gameboard and the very best of luck to you! |

 Oh yes! You found the Ace and Deuce, the hard way!  It's an automatic winner, but we must make it official.  And that is the perfect split, totally symmetrical! Here's another $300 for winning that hand! www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 We have reshuffled the cards behind those 14 numbers and the good news is, for these next two hands, you'll get to select FIVE numbers, and then FOUR during the last 4 hands of this game! George, select 5 numbers please and do that again, get that Ace and Deuce or the Acey Deucey card! |

And that gets you:  A 4, a 10, a 7, a 9 and a Queen....  So now George your split is Queen high, 4 low. This means 9 cards plus either Joker will win for you. Only if the center card is an Ace, a 2, a 3 or a King would you lose. Remember too if you DO lose, you may get a second chance. So with all that data in mind George, you have $600 how much do you want to bet that the next card will fit that split? I should point out as I neglected to earlier, minimum bets are $50 and you must bet in $50 increments. |

Oh my! All of it? I hope it fits!  OH NO!!!!!!! (buzzer) But, you've not totally lost yet.  You might get a second chance. Two of these 4 suits has a Second Chance card. Find either one and we'll give you a second chance to win that bet. If you uncover a frown however, you'll lose all $600 and we'll have to advance to the next level automatically. Please select a suit George. |

A very nice sentiment. And we would LOVE to see a Second Chance card behind that Heart!  No (buzzer)..... Drat!  George, the bad news is you wiped out on that level, but we'll go right to level 2 and give you $600 more... www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 3 regular picks plus one bonus draw automatically, so please select four numbers and let's hope for a much better split for you. |

Sticking with that same pattern...  Oh yeah! Right off the bat! There should still be 3 Bonus Draw tokens on the board instead of two, we will remedy that momentarily.  Meantime, you'll of course wager it all as the worst you can do is Push... Let's double that $600 to $1,200!  NO!!!!!!! Gadzooks! George, between you, me and the lamp post, I'm starting to think 24 is NOT such a lucky number! Tough break there.  On we go with hand #5. And again I should point out, the only time a player can try for a Second Chance card is if they LOSE a bet, not tie... Select 4 cards George please. |

No rule against it either, some may find it odd, but I find your pattern to be even. (groans from the gallery)  Hmm, not a very good split that time.  Just 4 cards will win, 2 will push, 7 will lose. You have $600, minimum bet is $50. What do you wager George? |

Post by bighornbattle on Jul 11, 2023 6:05:45 GMT -5
$550.
