Mai Valentine and PaniK's Duel

Mai and PaniK's Duel was a game of Duel Monsters between Mai Valentine and PaniK in the manga and second series anime.

Events
During the night after the first day of preliminaries at the Duelist Kingdom tournament, the Eliminator, PaniK searched the island for participants to eliminate from the tournament.

Mai had been camping with Yugi, Joey, Téa and Tristan. In the manga, Bakura was there too. In the manga, Mai was alone in her tent after getting Anzu (Téa) to meet Yugi. In the anime, she had taken some time to herself to think by the cliffs. While she was alone, PaniK sneaked up on her and forced her into a Duel, where she had to bet all eight of her Star Chips.

Since it was night, Panik was able to hide his monsters in the Darkness and easily overpowered Mai.

In the manga, Yugi and Anzu heard Mai screaming as she lost and ran to the Duel. In the anime, Yugi, Joey, Téa, Tristan and Bakura all heard her and went to the Duel. PaniK explained how Mai had been eliminated and how Pegasus had listed taking out Yugi as a priority. Yugi then switched to Yami Yugi and dueled PaniK to win back Mai's Star Chips.
