Giving Bryan an incredibly tight SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!!!!!!!!! And the card for you George is...  Yipes Stripes! A Queen. You have very little wiggle room this time as well.  HI LO Toss up time once again. George select a pair of numbers please, and in the order in which you'd like them to be revealed. If the first choice is either an Ace or a 2, you'll keep control automatically. No $500 if it's an Ace though, that's only awarded if it is the very first one selected during the first hand. |

Hand #2 for Pot Limit will have...  5 picks. And now the card please...  An 8, the worst card of the bunch. George as you can see by the board it's an even 50/50 split as to whether box 8 has a card that is higher or lower than an 8. You can play it yourself if you wish to or force Bryan to do so. What's your decision George? |

 Very well. Bryan we get to hear from you for the first time today sir. Do you believe box 8 has a card that is higher or lower than an 8? |

Eenie Meenie Miney Low you mean (chuckling) Are you right?  OH YES!  Bryan, you now have control over the next card. Only another 10 will win for your hand but if that happens, you'll win triple the value of this hand. If you pass, only another 10, a Jack or another Queen will win for George. Bryan, are you keeping this next card or passing it to George? |

Post by Bryan on Sept 10, 2023 17:14:26 GMT -5
I got one question: What if I keep the card and get anything else besides a 10?

Then you would bust. Usually a card has to fit in between, but in a case where either 2 cards are the same, or just one apart, then the "fit" card has to match.

Yes I think you pretty much had to Bryan. We have yet to have 3 of the same card come up in a row during any given hand. That said, should the card you passed to George happen to BE another 10, a Jack or another Queen, George will win the hand, anything else, and the hand is yours Bryan. And the card is...  A FIT! Oh my goodness another QUEEN?!?!?! www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 And George, you could still win that clean sweep $500 bonus if you win this next hand. Bryan, you'll need 3 in a row to pull off the win in this first game of the match.  George, as you won the last hand, you again get to determine the value of this next hand. The dollar value for you will be doubled if you win this next hand. Select a letter and a suit please. |

 $125 for this hand, $250 for you George if you win it, plus that $500 Clean Sweep Jackpot. And the first card for this hand is...  An 8. So a $25 puzzle coming up. I need a 5 letter word starting with G this time that links the split...  MOTHER with BUMPS tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/be-buzzer.wav And Bryan is in first this time. Bryan, your answer is due no later than 8:25pm EST on Tuesday, September 12th. |

That 8 now belongs to George. Next card up...  A 5. Where would you like that to go Bryan, to you, or in the center spot? |

Giving George a 5 to an 8 split. And Bryan, your card is...  (Screams from the audience)...That's what we call a mirror image split folks. Let's see who's going to win control over that pivotal card.  Bryan, please select a pair of the remaining boxes in the order in which you'd like them to be revealed. If your first choice is either the Ace or the 2, you'll keep control of the hand automatically. |

First we shall determine how many picks for hand #3 in the Pot Limit game  4 Picks. Now let us see card #2...  It's an Ace! Bryan you automatically retain control of the hand. Only another 5, a 6, a 7 or yet another 8 will win this hand for both you and George. The question is Bryan, do you want to keep the next card and hope it is a fit, or pass it to George and hope that it will bust him? |

George, if this passed card is anything from a 5 to an 8, you'll win $250 for the hand plus the $500 Clean Sweep jackpot. Anything else, and we will play another hand. Witney, what card did Bryan pass?  A THIRD EIGHT?!  (Screams of disbelief from the audience) www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 Did you EVER?!?! (Shaking my head) Just wow! Bryan, I dare say you played that hand correctly, just amazing how many pairs and now a 3 of a kind came up. And that's as close as we have come to date for one of our players to score a natural triple... Crazy Eights! We're needing to take a time out to recover from this! And this is only game 1! Back with Game 2 where Bryan's going to try to exact revenge. George is just 3 hands away from a $25,000 bonus! Much more fun and excitement after these words! Don't go ANYWHERE! |

(first few notes of the theme)  Well as per usual, we had a really wild and crazy first game of our match.  And the scoreboard tells the story thus far, it's pretty much been all George, who is going for his 5th consecutive match and a $25,000 bonus. And thank goodness Bissell is now footing the bill for a clean sweep, otherwise it would have been deducted from my paycheck. Bryan, now it's your turn to get back into this match. As you are trailing sir, we'll ask you to once again give this new blue deck a cut by selecting any number higher than 0 but lower than 52. |

Correct! I should point out that these puzzles are loaded well in advance, it just so happens that Bryan hails from the south. Bryan, $25 more for you...  And I've been told I missed one step earlier, so before I ask you about that 9, let's first find out how much this hand will be worth.  The amounts are reshuffled and concealed, Bryan, please select a letter and a suit. |
