Nels Snesrud is our defending champion. In just one day, he has an all cash total of $3,200.
Right now, I'm looking for a challenger to play against Nels. If you want to join in, please let us know.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And now, please welcome our original card diva herself... Jennifer Love Hewitt. [LOUD CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Jennifer: Hi, everyone... I'm sure that one of them will be challenging me for the big dough later today. First things first, let's meet our two contenders. [CONTESTANTS' INTRO]Our first contestant is a fan of game shows.

Good luck to you as well, Nels.
Before we begin the game, we'll take a snack break. When our show continues, we'll begin round 1 and see how much have the amount have grown. We'll start the first round of Gambit right after this. Don't touch that remote...

*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: Welcome back to Gambit. Now that we had gotten to know our players, please allow me to explain the rules-- The object of the game is to get closer to 21 from your opponent... without going over. I'll be asking a series of multiple choice questions. Each time you give me a correct answer, we'll give you $100 and control of the card. Be careful... because if you give me an incorrect response (or miss the deadline), your opponent scores 100 bucks. Take a look at the big money board on my podium. [CLANG]If you get a combination of at least three cards that add up to 21, you'll win the Any 21 Wins pot of $4,500. [CHEERS, APPLAUSE]If you get an Ace and either a 10 or face card, you will win the Blackjack Bonus of $17,500! [LOUDER CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Before the start of the show, the lab rats at RANDOM.ORG have given our card dealer Jennifer a deck of 54 super sized playing cards that were shuffled, cut, and sealed for her. Right now, Jenn is gonna break the seal and start round 1. What card are these two players are gonna play on? Jennifer: Our first card in round 1 is a Jack. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: Nels and David... you have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100. Here comes the first question. A monk invented these as a treat to offer children to memorized prayers. Are they CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES, FRENCH FRIES, or PRETZELS? |

Pretzels is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]$100 for you and you have a decision. Do you want to keep the Jack or pass it to Nels? |

Dave gets the Jack. If he answers correctly and the next card is an Ace, he'll win the $12,500 Blackjack Bonus. Jennifer will now reveal the next card unless one of you come up with the correct answer. Next question... A BASEBALL PLAYER CIRCLING THE BASES, or A FOOTBALL PLAYER RUNNING A GOAL-TO-GOAL TOUCHDOWN: Which one has run a greater distance? |

The correct answer-- A FOOTBALL PLAYER RUNNING A GOAL-TO-GOAL TOUCHDOWN.So that means Nels will get the 100 bucks. [DING]Nels... do you want to keep the card or pass it to Dave? |

Nels is keeping the card. Jennifer, what is Nels' first card? Jennifer: It's an 8. [AUDIENCE GROANS]Tony: The good news is that Nels needs a 3 for an 11. Next question... CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, or MONTANA-- The highest and lowest points in the lower 48 states are both located in what county? |

California is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]You now have $200 and control of the card. You need an Ace to win the $12,500 Blackjack Bonus. Do you want to keep the card or pass it to Nels? |

Let's hope that your next card is an Ace. Jennifer, please reveal Dave's next card. Jennifer: David, your next card is... *slowly reveals card* ...a 5. [AUDIENCE GROANS, APPLAUSE]Tony: Sorry, Dave. The Blackjack Bonus will return in our next round. Since you have a total of 15, do you want to continue or freeze, David? |
