Correct for another $25 and control of the deck. First card for this hand is...  A 6. Do you want it, do you want to pass it to Shederick, or do you want to place it in the center spot George? |

Pass it.

And the next card...  A Queen. Are you keeping that or placing it in the center George? |

|
Post by bighornbattle on Jul 19, 2023 17:25:54 GMT -5
Keep it.

And the common card is...  Not yet known. George as you're in control, this means you will get an insurance marker which will be used if you receive a card that would bust you. The common card is...  Oh a 10. Tight squeeze there George, a slightly larger split for you Shederick.  High Card toss-up time. George, please select any two of the remaining boxes and in the order in which you'd like them to be revealed. |

Factors of your favorite number...  Your first draw got you an 8, another factor of 24. Do you wish to keep that or pass that to Shederick and take what is under box twelve? As you can see by the split, 4 cards will beat that 8, 6 will lose to it. |

Keep the 8.

Very well.  Shederick, turnabout is fair play. Let's see if you can top his 8 the way George topped your 9 the last time. Select a box please. |

Behind box four is...  Only a 5 there. George you keep control of the hand.  Only 5 cards will win the hand for Shederick and only 3 cards will win the hand for you George. Are you going to keep the next card or pass it? |

I am taking my chances to pass it.

But more than likely an even bigger chance if you elected to keep the card. Did you bust Shederick?  It's an 8 and a fit! And we're tied at 1 hand apiece! www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 George, if it's any consolation, had you kept that card, you would have lost also, so it was a no win situation that time for you I'm afraid.  No $500 for a 3 hand blitz this game, but still a lot of money to be made here. Let me stop the randomizer...  $200 to the winner of this next hand and $50 if you're the first to buzz in and give a correct answer to this next puzzle... I need a SEVEN letter word this time, starting with "S" that links the split:  POINT with CREAM tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/be-buzzer.wav Shederick, you are in first and have until 6:10pm EST on Saturday, July 22nd to post your answer. |

Shaving

Post by billmcdee on Jul 21, 2023 1:57:37 GMT -5
Correct! That was a toughie I thought. For those who may be curious, point shaving is a term used with sports betting, basically involves cheating...and of course shaving cream is self-explanatory. $50 more and control is yours for the moment Shederick...first card up...  A Knave of Diamonds. Do you want to keep the Jack, place it in the middle, or give that to George? |

The Jack is yours... Next up...  An Ace. Where's that going to Shederick? |

Pass

Post by billmcdee on Jul 21, 2023 7:40:51 GMT -5
With great reluctance I realize... Let's see the common card...  A bit more breathing room for both our contestants this time. Only 2 cards will lose for George, and only 5 would lose for you Shederick.  High Card toss-up time once again and Shederick, you get to make the two picks this time. If your first choice is a King or a 2, you'll immediately retain control of the cards. Remember too both Bonus Draw tokens are still up there someplace. Which two boxes do you want this time Shederick? |

Post by billmcdee on Jul 21, 2023 12:09:48 GMT -5
Number one is...  Oh my, a three. 7 cards will better that, only one won't. Do you wish to keep the 3 and see if George uncovers the 2, or do you want to pass that to George and see what lurks behind box Twelve? |

Pass look under 12

Post by billmcdee on Jul 21, 2023 14:20:46 GMT -5
Under Twelve we have...  Oh a Bonus Draw Token! That is yours to take with you to the Pot Limit end game if you get there Shederick. And the card you kept is...  OH NO!!!!! Can you believe that?!?! O if only you had selected that one first Shederick! Tough break there, but you still have that Bonus Draw card, but the main cards are back in George's control.  Do you wish to keep the next card to try to fit your split George, or pass to Shederick to try to bust him? Remember too, you do have an insurance marker so even if you bust on your first draw, you'd get another chance. |

As the old song says, your chances are your chances are, awfully good. Let's see if I am right!  I am! www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 And you still have that insurance marker George, up 2 hands to 1, in fairly good shape, but watch out. Many's the time in the young history of this show that a player down 2 hands to 1 has come back to win.  Magic Button time again for me...  I seem to be stuck on $225 for the hand value. $25 toss up. George, as you're going for the win, if you do win this next hand, it pays double, so this is worth $450 to you. George is going for a win, Shederick's trying to tie this first game up. And once again I am looking for a SEVEN letter word, this time starting with the letter "H". And this word will link the split:  BANK with SEASON tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/be-buzzer.wav And George you are in first this time and have until 4:00pm EST on Sunday, July 23rd to post your answer. |

(buzzer) That was a good try George but I'm afraid that's not the answer we needed. We needed HOLIDAY. Bank Holiday is a day when banks are closed, and Holiday Season refers primarily to the middle of November through early January of the following year. No money changes hands that time but Shederick by default gets control of the deck.  A big ol' Ace Shederick. Where is that card going? |
