Round by round by round, the action grows ever more tense in the Media Mob’s New York Post “Post Poker” scratch-off contest against the Daily Transom.

Today’s hands:

Media Mob J J 7 6 2

Daily Transom K K 8 5 2

Ouch! The Daily Transom wins, evening the World Series of “Post Poker” at 2-2. So tomorrow’s matchup will determine who wins the $10 prize.

Meanwhile, the Media Mob notes that after scratching off 25 cards (including the “Bonus Monday” set), the Media Mob still doesn’t have five jacks–the Post’s minimum winning single-day hand. Even cumulatively, this game is a loser.
