Baggage
by Chico Alexander

Air time: 6:30p/5:30C on GSN
Host: Jerry Springer
On the Web: www.gsntv.com/baggage 
 
Marcus
Moreno Valley, CA
clerical worker
Dawn
Mankato, MN
fitness expert
Michelle
Ashton, MD
optometrist
Jessica
Mexico City, MX
export business executive

We start as always with the small, relatively innocuous baggage. Dawn loves popping other people's zits. Michelle spent over $8000 on shoes in two years. Jessica talks to her mom at least 40 times a day.

Dealbreaker Round: First bag is afraid of French kissing. Second bag takes four hours to get ready. Final bag dumped a Marine while he was overseas. The Marine is the dealbreaker, which means it's time to say "anchors aweigh" to Jessica. Michelle takes four hours to get ready, while Dawn won't French on the first date... or any date, for that matter.

Big Baggage: Dawn brings her pastor along on dates. Michelle is desperate to get pregnant... now. So will Marcus pick the lady who pops others' zits and won't French in front of a rep for the man upstairs, or will he settle for the lady who takes four hours to sift through $8000 worth of shoes just to get a baby in her? Marcus sends... DAWN packing.

Michelle is Marcus' ride-or-die chick, but before they can ride off together, Marcus has a piece of baggage to open... his. Within... "I'll never move out of his mother's house." Can Michelle stand being one of TWO women in Marcus' life? Nope. Not today.

LaToya Ayada-Knight
Brooklyn, NY
personal stylist
Samara Freedman
Hermosa Beach, CA
general manager of a restaurant chain
Dean
San Gabriel, CA
web project manager & Elvis impersonator
FIRST 21 WINS
Trip to Las Vegas (Vegas.com)

Hand #1: LaToya gets a 5, Samara gets an ace, and the King gets a queen. Dean busts up Samara's 7 with soft 18. LaToya passes 8 to Dean for 18. Dean freezes next question. Samara passes the 5 to LaToya for 10. LaToya takes the king and freezes on 20. Samara needs a 3... She gets a 2 for soft 20... a 9 for 19 the hard way... and a 9 to bust. LaToya leads with 700. Dean has 200. Samara has 100.

Hand #2: LaToya gets a 10. Samara gets 6. Dean gets a 9. Samara passes LaToya an 8 for 18... then busts her on a queen. Then she works on Dean with a 10 for 19. He freezes there. Deal it for Samara... 6 for 12... 3 for 15... 8 busts her out of the game.

Final Hand: LaToya gets a 10 to Dean's 4. LaToya keeps a king and freezes on 20. Dean gets the draw. 7 come 11... and another for 18... 6 busts. LaToya wins!

Bonus Catch 21 with three Burger King Power Chips:
Hand 1) 8 - 2 - K
Hand 2) 4 - 8 - 9 = 21 ($1000)
Hand 3) 5 - J
PASSED: Q, 3 (that was a $1000 pull there), 10

So now LaToya has an option; will she risk the $1000 she won or cash out? Give her some cash out, baby. Next card would've been... an 8.

  It's the last night of our MMA-poker crossover, and we're down to one unforeseen favorite, one stymied poker pro... and the guy who kicked off the week in style.
 
Patrik "The Golden Boy" Antonius
6th PLACE
Dan "Hendo" Henderson
$22,000
Randy "The Natural" Couture

Howard "The Professor" Lederer
$56,000
Bruce "The Voice" Buffer
$42,000
BLINDS: $800/$1600 Erick "E-Dog" Lindgren
4th PLACE

Dan's all-in with Q-J. Howard with A-7... mucks it. $28,000 and change going to Hendo.

We're up to 1K/2K. Dan is going all-in again with K-10 against Bruce's jacks. Howard with A-9... gets out of the way while Bruce calls. For $33,850... Flop: 9-K-9. ONE TIME! Bruce is left with a jack and a jack only. Turn: A. Howard's REALLY kicking himself now. River... As... REALLY kicking himself. Howard would've made a full boat. Instead, Hendo doubles up.

Henderson going all-in again on A-9c, the same hand that would've gotten Howard the boat. Howard has 10s now. This is for $70,000-plus. Flop: 9-7-7. A little help, but not enough. Turn: 2s. 9 or a 7, don't anybody breathe.... River.... Js. And Howard Lederer and Bruce Buffer are HEADS UP!

Bruce calls all-in with 9-8 to Howard's Q-8. Flop: 7-J-6. Bruce needs 9, 10, or 5, 11 outs. Turn: 3d. River... 9d. "We are live!" He's been waiting all week to say that. Bruce doubles up.

Going all-in once again with a K-5 to Howard's J-8. Flop: 6-9-3. Howard's down to six cards. Turn: Ad. River... As. Stayin' alive with the Bee Gees, and Bruce doubles again to $35,100.

We're doing it one mo'gin with A-7 to Howard's 4s. Flop: 6-Q-3. Bruce needs an Ace or a 7. Turn: 2s. River... Kc. Bruce takes second. Howard Lederer takes profit.

Enjoy the director's cut tomorrow!
