TOURNAMENT 5
EPISODE 3
CELEBRITY POKER SHOWDOWN is back in da howse! The $250,000 Caddilac(TM) Prize
Pool awaits the fine celebs and their charities. But only one of the five playing tonight will make it to the Final Table and have a shot at the $100,000 piece of that pool. To do that, s/he will have to out-draw, out-flop and out-bluff the others.
Rookies, rookies and even MORE rookies at tonight's table. Let's meet them, shall we?:

|
BIO
|
Lacey Chabert
playing for the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation |
Playing Eliza on the hit Nicktoon The Wild Thornberrys for many years, Lacy also has roles in hit movies like "Daddy Day Care" and "Lost In Space". Will she shake these card sharks down or will she prove that "Mean Girls" finish last? |
Bonnie Hunt
playing for the Greater Chicago Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation
|
This comedienne had been doing voices doe Disney/Pixar films before scoring her own show (Life With Bonnie) and a hit movie ("Cheaper By the Dozen") . Will she tell the chips to "Return To Me" or will she be walking "The Green Mile" back to the Lounge? |
J.K. Simmons
playing for Iris House |
J.K. is best known as shrink Emil Skoda in the Law & Order series, but he ALSO played Daily Bugle boss J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man films. Can he prove himself sane here or will he be caught in the web of bad hands? |
Robert Wagner
playing for the Silver Lining Foundation |
After years on Hart to Hart, this veteran actor got his career jump-started as "Number Two" in the "Austin Powers" trilogy. Will he be a "Goldmember" of the Final Table or be one of "The Fallen Ones"? |
Scott Wolf
playing for EBMRF |
He got started as one of the Party of Five and is currently playing Dr. Jake Hartman on the WB's Everwood. Can he be the lone man at THIS party of five or will he be a bigger flop than the "Double Dragon" movie he was in? |
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, mix those cards and hand them out...or, as Tournament Director Robert
Thompson says, SHUFFLE UP AND
DEAL!
Blinds start at $100 (SB) and $200 (BB). The Dealer Button (D) starts on Bonnie, meaning Robert posts the Small Blind, Scott posts the Big Blind and J.K. is first to act.
As far as picks go, Dave goes for the veteran celebrity Robert and while Phil picks Lacey "for obvious reasons".

| Both Robert and Lacey have a flush draw...but Lacey has the "nut flush" draw. One more spade and she'll have the best flush possible (Ace-high). As Lacey contemplates, Scott asks, "Can I help her? She's my sister, for God's sake!" (Lacey played Scott's little sister on Party of Five.) |

| In poker parlance, this is called a "check-raise". Lacey checked to show weakness, let Robert bet big...and then raised. Normally, this would lead to the one raised against to feel he's beat and to fold... |

"Lacey, you're KILLIN' me!" says Robert as he hugs her and wishes her luck. After handshakes and hugs, Robert heads for the Lounge, rather upset...because he had wagered on himself. Dave says that HE did, too. As far as the hand where Lacey check-raised him twice and doubled-up on him, Robert claims that he didn't think Lacey knew what she was doing. At least the Silver Lining Foundation, who takes in young "challenged" children, gets $5000 for his effort.

After this hand, Scott asks Bonnie what it would take to get a stack of purple $500 chips in front of her. When Bonnie says, "A French kiss," Scott pushes back from the table slyly...then pulls himself back in. Bonnie is embarrassed, but Scott claims that the divorce that would FOLLOW the kiss would cost MUCH more than the stack. Bonnie says, "I'll pay for it. :)"
Time for me to play Alex Trebeck. The answer is: "The segment where we show you only one player's hand (in this case J.K.'s) and show you how the pros (in this case Phil) would play the hand." And the question: "HOW WOULD YOU PLAY IT?"

"Once again," says Dave to Phil as Lacey heads for the Lounge, "both of our picks are out of the game!" Lacey joins Dave, Phil and Robert in the Lounge...and Robert is so HAPPY not to be alone there anymore. Lacey thinks she played well at first but choked at the end. Phil tells her that she should've played more aggressively even though she wasn't getting the cards. The Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation gets 5 "large" for her efforts. While Lacey orders "lots of beverages", we go to commercial.
Upon coming back, Dave has a chicken strip in his hand...and Phil leans down and chomps it. Dave folds in his thumb (pretending it's gone) and says, "That wasn't the chicken strip!!"

| Scott didn't HAVE to bet...but his "sailboats" are a very decent hand. A side pot is now instigated which only J.K and Bonnie can bet into and win. $3600 of the $4000 in the Blinds goes to the side pot, while the other $400 is in the Main Pot for Scott to try and win. |

| When J.K. raised, he started a Side Pot between him and Bonnie, since Scott was all-in on the Big Blind. When Bonnie folded, $400 of her Small Blind went to J.K. The Main Pot consists of $600 from each player. Scott doesn't even LOOK at the cards before turning them over...and finding the WORST hand in Hold 'Em! |

This time he stands up to leave and MEANS it. Scott shakes hands and hugs as he heads for the Losers' Lounge with Dave, Phil, Robert and his "sister" Lacey. They congratulated him on making it exciting. Scott had hoped to make the biggest comeback in CPS history...but it was not to be. The EBMRF, which stands for the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation (YEEESH, that's a mouthful) gets $5000 for Scott's tremendous effort.
But, now, it's the TV shrink and the comedianne for that silver chip and the seat at the Final Table! Who will join Jason Alexander and Brad Garrett? Let's SHUFFLE UP AND DEAL!
