TOURNAMENT 5
EPISODE 4

Take one part World Poker Tour, five parts celebrity, toss in a $250,000 Prize Pool graciously given by Caddilac(TM), a mess of charities, a poker pro and an almost effeminate host. Put it in the Palms Casino blender and set for "Obliterate" and...VOILA! You have CELEBRITY POKER SHOWDOWN! Tonight, five more celebs will battle it out to make the Final Table and have a shot at the massive $100,000 part of that pool in a no holds barred edition of No Limit Texas Hold 'Em!

Another quintet of CPS rookies adorn the table tonight...though one is no stranger to celeb gambling shows. They are:

CELEBRITY BIO

Brandi Chastain
playing for the Children's Cancer Research Fund
Brandi is a professional women's soccer player...which means she's pretty much unknown in the U.S. except for the fact that she tore her jersey off after winning the 1999 Women's FIFA World Cup. Will she be the striker of the table or will she be stripped of her chips?

Camryn Manheim
playing for Habitat for Humanity International
This two-time Celebrity Blackjack alum was once Ellenor Frutt on The Practice and was recently on the Showtime series The L Word. Will she be better at poker than at blackjack or will she be a totally DIFFERENT L-word: LOSER?

Colin Quinn
playing for the Salvation Army
He started as a co-host on MTV's first game show Remote Control. The comedian parlayed that into a five-year SNL gig and his own half-hour comedy/politics show: Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. Will he be in control tonight or with THIS tough crowd kick him off like Comedy Central did?

Tom Verica
(also) playing for Habitat for Humanity International
After many failed TV shows, Tom finally has a hit. He plays Jack Pryor, the father of the main family in NBC's hit series American Dreams. Will he make an American Bandstand play or will his dreams of a lot of money for his charity die?

Kevin Weisman
playing for DMD Fund
This actor hasn't had a lot of star experience before his role as Agent Marshall Flinkman on ABC's Alias, but THAT helped him produce and star in the movie "Illusion". Will he give off the illusion of being a good poker player or will he be, like his role in the same movie, "Gone in Sixty Seconds"?

Each celebrity will start with $10,000 worth of chips and the game will continue until one celebrity has all $50K in his/her possession, thus winning the "coveted" silver chip and making him/her eligible for the Final Table later in the year.  At the announcers' position beside the Losers' Lounge are host Dave Foley and poker expert Phil Gordon.  They'll be calling the action emanating from the main room.

All right, less talk and more bets! As Tournament Director Robert Thompson so frequently likes to say, SHUFFLE UP AND DEAL!

Blinds start at $100 (SB) and $200 (BB). The Dealer Button (D) starts on Kevin, meaning Tom posts the Small Blind, Camryn posts the Big Blind and Colin is first to act.

As far as picks go, Dave goes for Tom while Phil picks Kevin...so don't expect EITHER of them to win.

Blinds are now $200 (SB) and $400 (BB).

Before the hand, Kevin asks the question on everybody's mind of Brandi: "If you win, are you going to rip your shirt off?" Brandi does not answer, despite the applause from the crowd.

Why is Kevin a bigger favorite to win the pot outright than Camryn when they have the same hand? Well, Kevin has a better chance at a flush draw, since two other diamond that Camryn needs have been folded. There's an 84% chance of a split pot.

"You" (as Tom) don't have a particularly decent hand...but, just as you don't need a reason to go to war, "you" don't need "the nuts" as long as "you" have the "nuts" to raise and put pressure on the blinds. Knowning that Colin almost always calls no matter what helps.
FLOP: 10♥ Q♠ K♣
It's not BAD...but it's far from GREAT. "You" now have an open-ended straight draw, needing an Ace or a 9.
Bets $600
Hmmm...should "you" call or raise? Best thing is to make Colin make a critical decision...so raise him big.
Calls $600
Obviously, Tom didn't hear me.
TURN: 5♥
Still no straight...but the potential is still there.
Bets $1000
If "you" just call, "you" are FORCED to make the best hand. If "you" raise and raise BIG, the decision will be on the opponent. So, since "you" are relatively short-staked, go all-in!
Raises to $2500 Calls $1500
Colin called almost immediately...and that's not a good thing for "you".
RIVER: J♣
COMMUNITY: K♣ Q♠ J♣ 10♥ 5♥
No straight...and a middle pair. But, if Colin has an Ace or a 9 HIMSELF, "you" are in trouble.

Hmmmm...maybe he DOESN'T have anything. Go all-in and force him to make a decision!

And Colin's hand was...10♠ 5♠. ZOIKS! Had he called with his two pair (made on the Turn), "you" would've been eliminated! But Tom knew Colin was afraid of the straight and that he would bail! Tom played this hand very well.

As he marches to the Losers' Lounge to meet and greet Dave, Kevin calls Colin a "little b*tch"! He wonders where he went wrong. Dave and Phil agree that Kevin fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But only slightly less well know is: "Never go up against 'Callin' Colin' with a 6 on the Board"! Ah, well. At least the DMD Fund (to fight Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy) gets $5000 for that monster suck-out.

After hugs and kisses, Brandi tells Carmyn that she HAS to beat the guys. Carmyn asks for Brandi's Gold Medal for luck and Brandi obliges before going to the Lounge with Dave and Kevin. She's glad that the Childrens' Cancer Research Fund will get 5 Gs for her effort. After grabbing some grabbing, getting some hard drinks and bemoaning how damned luck Colin has been so far, we go back to the action.

Tom takes losing graciously, not making any excuses as he heads back to join Kevin, Brandi and Dave. He does blame it PARTIALLY, however, on Camryn having Brandi's medal...and Brandi half-heartedly apologizes for that. Habitat for Humanity International picks up $5000 so Jimmy Carter can build more homes. And Tom claims that it's "impossible to beat Colin!"

Whether or not that's true will have to wait for the conclusion of HEADS-UP between the stout lawyer and the gravel-throated comedian. And, with the chip count so close, it's truly ANYBODY's tournament! So let's SHUFFLE UP AND DEAL!!

Camryn gets up to massage Colin's shoulders...and almost push his mug into the felt.

Colin has plenty of outs. A Queen would give him a straight, a King or 10 would give him a higher pair.
RIVER: 10♣
BAM! And, with "tension", Colin wins the tournament!

So Camryn's charity, Habitat for Humanity International, gets ANOTHER $5000...but Colin Quinn, with his uber-passive poker playing, gets the silver chip after a helluva comeback by Camryn! The biggest pieces of the Caddilac(TM) $250,000 Prize Pool, including the 100 grand for first, await Colin and the Salvation Army at the Final Table!
