George, if the next card we turn up just so happens to be another 4, you will win this hand and we will pay you TRIPLE the value of the hand. Anything else, and Matt takes the hand. The card is...  A 6, Matt wins the hand! www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 Matt, that was a win-win for you because had you kept that card, it would have fit. So $250 to you, the game is tied at 1 hand apiece, and you both have already won $1,150 today! I like this! The $500 bonus for a 3 hand blitz is out of play. Our next puzzle and hand will be worth:  $75 for the puzzle, $125 for this next hand. Our next puzzle, I need a SIX letter word this time, starting with "K" that connects the split:  PAIN with BEES.....an unpleasant set of clues! tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/be-buzzer.wav Matt's very fast on the button thus far this game. Matt you have until 10:00am EST on Monday, August 14th to post your answer. |

Correct for $75. Now up to the Christmasy score of 1225. First card this time:  A 7. Where do you want that card to go Matt? |

That might hurt you, then again it might hurt George even more...strategy is the name of the game to be sure. Next card...  An Ace! Is that yours or George's card Matt? |

I had a feeling. The card you left for George's hand is...  A King. And for those of you who were perhaps thinking Matt made a mistake in not passing that 7 to his opponent, it's a darn good thing he didn't, otherwise he would have had a King-Ace split, so very little wiggle room. As it stands however, George's split is from a King down to a 7, Matt's split is a 7 up to a big Ace, so slightly better. To determine control of the next card for this hand, we'll play another High Card toss-up. The Bonus Draw token is still up there some place.  Matt please select a pair of remaining numbers and in the order in which you'd like them to be revealed. |

11 has...  A Deuce! And as you have right of first refusal, we know you'd pass that so this is an automatic win at the High Card Toss Up board.  And an interesting decision Matt. Do you keep the next card or pass it to George? 8 cards out of 13 will win for you, 7 out of 13 will win for George. |

To go up 2 hands to 1 in this game that you need Matt... the card you kept is a...  FIT! And a mini Spade flush at that! www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 Matt, if you win either of the next two hands in this game, you will win this game and tie up the match. George, you're going to need 2 hands in a row here to win this game and your third match here on Split Decision. The value of the next toss-up and hand are...  $25 for the puzzle but a big $250 for the hand. Matt it is worth $500 to you should you win this next hand. Here comes our $25 toss up puzzle. I need a SIX letter word this time, starting with "F" that connects the split:  WORLD with AMOS tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/be-buzzer.wav And once again Matt you're in first! You have until 2:15pm EST on Tuesday, August 15th to post your answer. |

Yes indeed! And Famous Amos cookies are perhaps World Famous too. I know they are by me as I have consumed a few over the years. $25 more for you Matt and again control of the deck. First card:  A 5. Is that yours, is that George's or is that going in the center spot? |

A very narrow split for George... Matt, let's see what your split ends up being...  (Gasps of disbelief from the crowd) Wow. Control of the next card is obviously most pivotal here.  It's High Card toss-up time once again and Matt, you once again get to make the selections first. Please select a pair and in the order in which you'd like them to be revealed. That bonus draw card remains on the board too. |

Under the 13 this time we have:  A 5. Matt, 5 cards will beat that, 2 will not. Do you want to keep that 5 and allow George to make a selection, or do you want to refuse that 5, passing it to him and seeing what lurks under box 8? |

Surprising move there.
Okay George, you get to make a selection to try to beat that 5.
Which box do you choose?

And 12 has...  The big one, an Ace! George you've taken over control of this hand.  George, are you keeping the next card for yourself or are you going to try to bust Matt? |

Bust Matt please.

Let us see... If it is another 5, we pay triple the value of the hand, so $250 would become $750. Also, if it's a hand to win a game we pay double, so this could be worth $1,500 to you Matt and a tied up match. The card is...  Oh no! A 4! SO CLOSE! George you take the hand. www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 Matt, I am wondering if perhaps during that last High Card toss-up when you kept the 5 on that board, if you thought it meant it would go into your hand. That is not the case though, that board is just to determine control of the cards. In any event, we're evened up at 2 hands each, and a very close score money wise too! This hand will decide it. Let's see what the value of the next puzzle and hand will be:  $25 for the puzzle, $250 for the hand, and as it's going to decide the winner of the game, we know it is worth $500 for one of you. This next puzzle I need a FOUR letter word starting with R that links together the split:  DIAPER with DECISION.... tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/be-buzzer.wav George you are in for the first time this game. Your answer is needed no later than 5:30am EST on Friday, August 18th. |
