I'm in.

All right, ladies, $20.

Hey, fruity cocktail,
you in or not?

I'm out.

Let me guess, raise?

Well, I wasn't going to,

but now that you put the idea
in my head, sure, why not?

I've seen
that look before.
I'm out.

Sure you wanna do that?

I think you're bluffing.

Throwing out the line.
Could be.

Could also be that
the cards in my hand

plus the cards
that are showing

give me an 86%
chance of winning.

But you know what?
Go ahead, go all in.
You got a 14% window.

You are
so full of shit.

Am I?
Yeah.

This is so much fun,
gentlemen. I fold.

Coming out.

Shit, I didn't even
need that one.

Oh. Damn it!
Unbelievable.

What's that?
Every damn time, man.

Shit. God.

One more round?
I don't wanna play
with you anymore.

Dude, this sucks.

What sucks?

This.

College, man, it's over.
No more fun.

Alex's room.
I'm not here, I'm not here.

No, this is Ben.
Who's this?

Yeah, just a second.

Dude, it's Melissa.

What?
Yeah.

She said she's
calling you back
from, like, two weeks ago.

Remember when you
drunk-dialed her?

Well, tell her I'm not here
Are you kidding me?

You've had the biggest crush
on this girl for the past
six months.

You gotta talk to her now.

Melissa? Hi.
Hey, you know, I'm

I'm in the middle
of something right now.
Could I call you back?

Great.

Who are you?

I know.

What happens if he wins?

Alex plays
in a Poker Stars
tournament on TV.

No way! Sick.
Beats making
photocopies in a law firm.

Guys, please.
I've been up all night.

What do you have, anyways?
A pair of ladies.

Nice.

Yeah!

Yeah.

Hey, guys.

We are so proud
of you, honey.

Yes, we are.
Thank you.

Magna cum laude, not bad.

But a summa could've gotten
you a full scholarship
to law school.

Alan.

Hey, guys,
Mr. and Mrs. S.

Hey, Ben.
Hey.

What's up, my man?
Hey.

How are you?

Where are those
Girls Gone Wild
chicks at?

Open your eyes, kid.

Hey, you didn't
say anything,
did you?

No, no, I swear,
I didn't say a word
Didn't say a word about what?

I just
Alex?

I kind of got
into a tournament.

Sweet!

I got it.

It's only for
a couple of days.

You promised this
was just a hobby.

It won't get out of hand.

It won't get out of hand.

Come Come on.

I beat out
hundreds of people.

I stuck my neck out
to get you that job.

And I'll still be there.

This is a big deal.

Thanks for being here with us
at the Poker Stars.com

$10 million challenge.

I'm Greg Fossilman Raymer
and working with me

Joseph Hachem.

So, Greg,
what have you got there?

Well, Joe,
in case any of our players
don't show up today,

I'm ready to jump in
any time they want.

Okay,
let's meet our players.

Antonio The
Magician Esfandiari,

The Unabomber Phil Laak.

Tex Button,

and of course,
the crowd favorite,
Karen Razor Jones.

Want another drink, hon?

Nope, no, I'm fine.

We'll get a look
at our new young
gun in just a minute.

One out.

Do you wanna give
me a hand in here?

Guy's on third.
I'll be right in.

Up next is Phil Cabaratta.

The first time,
he walked and
moved around there,

and the next time,
he banged himself
out a triple.

Each player is first dealt
two down cards.

A round of betting
then occurs.

Then comes
the community cards
with the flop,

the turn and the river.

In the end, the best
five-card combination

wins the hand
and takes the pot.

Let's take a closer look
at one of our
newest young guns.

I guess you could say
I've always been
good with numbers.

Young Alex Stillman,
just 21 years old,

born and raised
in Los Angeles,

learned to play poker
in just the last three years.

And when this whiz kid
went off to college
in the East,

he realized
that there might be

a little bit more
to this poker thing.

Dealer card.

Thank you.

Four thousand.

Right off the bat,
huh, Karen?

Yeah.
Whee.

No rest for the wicked.

Alex,
who came to the final table
today as our chip leader,

has lost a lot of his stack
since the start of play.

Okay, let's take a look.

All right,
you guys have fun.

Looks like I scared
everyone out.

Ten thousand.

This young kid
might get into trouble

in this hand if
he's not careful.

Oh, exactly.
I mean, if you don't
look at Razor,

if you don't see
what a strong hand she's got,

I mean,
you think top pair's good.

Likes his hand.
All right, I call.

All right,
kids, it's all up to you.

The ten of clubs.

Interesting.

I'm all in.

Wow. Look at that.

He's gonna wish he was
paying more attention.

All right, kid,
let's rock and roll.

Obviously,
Razor has called him all in.

Let's see what
the river brings.

And Alex is going to be very
disappointed here, I think.

That's what zero percent
feels like, huh?

Yeah. River didn't help.
You were beat on the turn.

You played what you could.

See you around.
Go back to school.

He obviously got
a little bit lucky

to make it to our
final table today,

but hopefully
he'll take
something home

from this
and he'll be back
next time.

Alex, when you get a moment,
I need you to give Mr. Wallace

the briefs from
the Longhorn case.
Okay.

By the way, today is payday,

but they'll hold
your first check

until the end of
the next pay period.

Do you think you can make it
for two more weeks?

I think I can manage.

Okay, good.

Okay.

Oh, and Alex, be careful.

That sorter is
almost at capacity.

Did you find anything, baby?

Hmm.

There's one cruise left
that leaves in July.

Mmm-hmm.

We can afford
a third-class cabin,
but that's about it,

though we do get
lobster for one night.

Ooh, boy, lobster.

Yeah.

Why don't we go first-class?

Oh, Tommy.

Honey,

this money has to last us
the rest of our lives.

At the wire,
it's Amanda's Pride,
Lucky Day and

Am I hot!
That's $400.

I think I'll go hit
a casino for a bit.

If you're gonna go gamble,
then I'm gonna go with you.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

I'm not gonna gamble.
I'm just gonna watch.

What about Helen?

I just told you,
I'm just gonna watch.
Yeah, I know.

You'd probably
hock your watch.
I'm not gonna hock my watch.

I'm gonna watch.
You can't get into
trouble doing that.

If you put down a nickel,
I'm getting up and going.

Because I ain't taking
the rap for this one.

Like taking candy
from a baby.

Don't you mean
a baby taking candy?

I get it, because I'm young.
That's really funny.

Too bad there's
no minimum age
to spend your money.

Well, guys, it's been fun.

But I better get home now
before I'm too
late for curfew.

Lunch money for
the next month.

Tip from me, thanks.

You really should be doing
this for a living, man.

You think so?
Nice playing in there.

Hey, thanks, man,
I appreciate it.

What do you think, Tommy?

I think he could've
done a lot better.

Talking about me?

Well, if I saw
you bluffing,

then everybody
at your table
saw you bluffing.

What are you talking about?
I flopped a set.

You missed your flush.

Maybe you should
get your eyes checked.

Maybe I should.

Listen, you know,
you got a hell
of a lot of potential,

so if you ever want
to sit down and talk
about cards sometime

Hey, hey
All right, look,
I think he's okay.

You could do
a whole lot worse.

Hey, all right, all right.

Tommy Vinson.

What's that dude
talking about, man?

I don't know,
maybe he's drunk
or something.

Did you really flop a set?

No, I missed my flush.

Oh, I had a feeling
you'd show up.

What? No, no.

I'm just here to
play cards, man.

No, just give me
five minutes.

See the guy
over there
with the red hat?

What about him?

What kind of hand
do you think
he's got?

Good? Bad?

Good.

Wrong.
Okay.

He's got a bad hand.
You know how I know?

How do you know?

When he has a bad hand,
he lightly scratches
his face, like this.

He's done it every time.
It's a tell. Watch.

Well, didn't it rain
my children

Like that.

Didn't it
didn't it
didn't it

Oh, lucky guess.

Okay.

Pick someone,
anybody at the table.

How about this guy
right here?

Didn't it rain

I say he's got a good hand.

Ace, king, maybe?
No. Ace, queen.

Damn. You should
be playing these guys.

I don't play anymore.

Hey, can you give me
that napkin, please?

It's a nice accent.
What is that, German?

No, it's Russian.

Oh.

You must drink
a lot of vodka.

Boy, I hope
you're better with cards
than you are with women.

Believe me, I am.

You know, I won $22,000
in the Poker
Stars Tournament.

Razor.

She just Oh, man.

Cut you to ribbons.
You saw that?

Yeah.

Come on, man,
I had bad cards.
It's not the cards.

You don't play the cards.
You play the player.

What do you have in mind?

Million-dollar payouts.

I'll cover the buy-ins
and we'll split 50-50,
right down the middle.

What's the catch?

No catch.
You just gotta win.

And you gotta
listen to me.
Every word.

Why should I do that?

Because by the time
you're 25,
you'll be set for life.

Are you set for life?

I could've been
if I'd had someone
to listen to.

Hey.
Hey.

You found it, huh?
Yeah.

Nice place.
Right.

Would you like
something cold to drink?

You want a Coke,
soft drink, a beer?

Beer, yeah,
I'll take a beer.

Okay.

Is this you?

Yeah, can you believe it?

'79 Reno Poker Final.
What's this?

Oh

My wife set that up there.

That's the hand I had
when I beat Doyle Brunson.

Oh, my God.

You beat Doyle Brunson
in the World Championships?

Well, they didn't call it
World Championships
then, but

Shit!

Yeah, it was just
called the game.

Now it's, you know,
multi-million dollar pots

and diamond bracelets.

So you never won
a championship, then?

I

I was in the top ten.

I was doing great.

For five years,
I was kicking ass.

And then I

I lost my confidence,
you know,

and losing
a lot of games

I started borrowing
a lot of money

from my friends, family.

Kept on playing.

Then I hit the wall.

I mean, I hit
I lost everything.

I almost lost my wife.

She told me if I quit,

she'd stay.

So

I quit. I haven't

I haven't played
a game of cards
in 20 years.

Twenty years?
You haven't played
poker in 20 years?

Not even a home game.

Oh, my God.

Do you miss it?

Not as much
as I'd miss her.

Look, man, if I
You know,

if we're gonna
do this thing,
I don't know

Should we sign
something or

What do you say
we just trust each other?

All right.

All right.

Second hand underway

Are you sure
your wife's not gonna
come home and kill us?

Don't worry,
she won't be home
until tomorrow night.

Focus. Gus Hansen,
what's he doing?

I don't know.
He's betting too quick?

He keeps checking his cards.
He knows what he's holding.

Believe me,
these guys know
exactly what they got.

It's a false tell.

All right.
I think I got it.

Let's go try it out.
We've been doing this
for days.

Come on, we've been
through 100 tapes.

You think you're ready?

Tommy, please.

Come on, you want
me to be the student,

let me learn
the way I do best.

Commerce Casino's
just 20 minutes away.

If we're gonna do this,
let's do it right.

Are you calling that?
Oh, man.

Well, look who it is.

Gosh. Hey, long time.

How you doing, Barry?

Is that your kid?

That's my kid.

Well, have a seat.

All right.

Yo, son, you sure
you can handle this?

We'll see.

The raise.

Call.
Five hundred.

Nah.
I'm folding.

Up five.
Fold.

I'm good.

All right, I call.

There we go.

He's up 38?

All in.

I'm all in.

I fold.

A little different
than playing on the Internet,
huh, son?

I'll take you down, yo.

What do you say we
take a little break?

Look, I just got bad cards.
I'll be fine.

Come on, Tommy,
let ATM stay.

Yeah.

Come on.

All right, bet's to you.

Yeah, all right.

You're biting
your lower lip.

What? What are you
talking about?

Every time you
get a bad hand,
you bite your lower lip.

No, I don't.

Oh, shit,
let's get out of here.
Wait.

Come on, give me
one more second.
Look, if I see it,

everybody at
the table sees it.

Look, you brought me here
to learn. Just give me
one more chance.

Here you come draggin' in

Three a.m. again

Grinnin' that silly grin

Smellin' just like sin

Holdin' up that alibi

I'm all in.

Diggin' down
deeper and deeper

In that hole
you're already in

If you can't lie no better

If you can't lie no better

Hey, ATM, what do you think
I ought to buy next?

A BMW?

Or a Benzo?

I like Beemers, myself.

Fuckin' kid
made a straight,

I did pretty good, right?

Yeah, you did good.

Then I did good?
You didn't like the lip?

These guys got
long memories.

Next time you play them,
you're gonna have to
change it up a little bit.

When was the last time
you got laid?

What? When was
your last time?

I'm doing fine in
that department,
thank you.

Oh, okay.

Why do you care, anyway?

Well, young guy,

testosterone popping out
of every pore.

It seems like
you would be taking
a run at everything.

I want you to be happy,
you know.

I don't know, I just

For whatever reason,
I'm kind of awkward
with girls.

I just wish
they'd come up to me.
It'd be a whole lot easier.

You know,
some of these skills
you're learning at the table,

you know, people skills,
watching, observing,
listening,

it'll come in handy for you
if you just apply them
in other areas.

Like that tall drink
of water over there.

Just go over
and say hello.

Everything will be fine.

Trust me.

I will do this.

Hi, I'm

I'm sorry, I don't
normally do this, but

I'm a Virgo.
And before you ask, no,
I don't come here often.

No, really,
I've never done this.
I'm

Look, the reason I'm here

Do you see
the old guy
behind me?

He thinks
I'm terrible
with girls,

which, obviously,
you can tell I am.

Maybe you could giggle
a little bit or something.

I don't giggle.

All right, come on,
what's it gonna take
for you to help me out here?

Tell me why
you're so terrible
with women.

I don't know,
I don't know

Probability?

Wasn't expecting that one.

What I mean is, you know,
asking a girl out

is, very simply,
a 50-50 proposition.

She either says
yes or she says no.

I don't like to do anything
where you only have
a 50% chance of succeeding.

Well, if 50-50 odds
aren't good enough for you,

then you, my friend,
are in the wrong town.

But no, that is not true.

You take poker, for example.

Poker, you know,
you can have bad cards,
but it doesn't matter,

because you always have
the option of bluffing.

And you don't think
that applies to women, too?

What?

Good luck, buddy.

I don't

Okay, let's start over.
Ask me out.

I'm sorry,
I don't even
know your name.

Michelle.

Hi, I'm Alex.

Would you like to go out
with me sometime?

I don't know, Alex.
What do you do?

I just graduated college

and I'm working
part-time as a law clerk.

Mmm.

Yeah.

No, thanks.

No, wait, wait,
I'm sorry.
I meant

I meant, I am a CEO
for a Fortune 500 company

which specializes
in software development.

And I travel
all over the world
to exotic countries,

which maybe
you'd love to go
with me sometime.

Really?

Sure, I would love
to go out with you.

Seven-two.

Maybe you could
spot me a couple?

Oh, never.
It's all or
nothing with me, baby.

Of course it is.

God!

Well, I hope
you're better at cards
than you are at air hockey.

You know what?
This time I'm
going to bring it.

Let's go.

Oh, my God,
are you okay?

Yeah, I

What if I'm not?

What? It bounced

It hit the thing,
I didn't mean for
it to actually

I'm fine.

It bounced.
It bounced.

Good trip, huh?

Sure was.

Did you like that gal?

I mean, did you have
a good time last night?

And this morning.

You're a machine.

I wouldn't say that.

Well, you got
to concentrate, man.
We got to focus from now on.

I'm focused.
This is it for me, man.
I wanna take it all the way.

All the way.
Love to hear it.

Friday night, you know,
we got a tournament
in New Orleans.

This Friday?
Yeah. Problem with it?

No, no, not a problem.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, Ben invited me
to go to Santa Barbara.

I was wondering if
I could take a sick day.

I know, I know,
last time, I swear.

All right, thanks. Bye-bye.

Bad news, baby.
I gotta go to Cleveland.

I should be back by Monday.

I'll call you later
to say good night.

Money honey
gotta get some quick

'Cause this little pile
I got won't do the trick

Money honey
money's what she wants

If I don't get some quick
I might find her gone

Now haulin' these
bundle of shingles
'bout to break my back

And that jingle
in my pocket ain't nothin'
but roofin' tacks

I gotta find me
a line of work where
I can use my mind

Good job today.

Get a little rest.
Big day tomorrow.

Rest? Come on.

I'm the chip leader.
Let's grab me
a drink or something.

Okay.

So far, so good.

That's all you have to say?
Mmm-hmm.

All right, you know what?
You just calm down,
Mr. Excitement.

Maybe you'll perk up tomorrow
when I win us $600,000.

Jesus Christ.
I forgot to tell you.

Do not answer the phone.

Who do they want?
Because

Ignore it all.

The players
you're facing tomorrow,

they're trying
to keep you up.

Maybe it's important.
Do not answer the door.

I'm telling you
for your own good.

Well, they're not
gonna stop.

Hi, I'm Chaniqua.
This is my friend, Dolly.

I told you.

You can beat
anybody at this table,
with or without any sleep.

All right.

I'm gonna scratch my hand

I've got the night before me

I'm going to get high
Till it hurt no more

Feed the demon
something every day

You know I'm going to
drown on the river anyway

If you want to be a dead man

Track it in your left hand

Raise it with your right
And bring me to my knees

Hauling down the money

A little bit of
faith and glory

Then you drown in the river
Just like me

God damn it.

Awful cards.

Bullshit. You know
it's not the cards,
and so do I.

Come on,
I did everything
I could do.

You're tired.

You're right back
to your old bad habits.

You didn't even
make it to the money.

All right, well,
you can't win
every one, all right?

No, you can't.

All right, then why
don't you go and play?

Because I promised
somebody I wouldn't.

You call lying
to your wife
a promise?

You better go home.

What's going on, baby?

What?

Where were you, anyway?
Vegas?

Well, I went to New Orleans.
New Orleans?

Yeah, for a tournament.

I knew it.

I'm not playing
any cards at all.
I'm just teaching.

I had this kid I found
How much did you lose?

$10,000.

$10,000?
Yeah.

Tommy.
But in Vegas

When were you in Vegas?

Now, what you
don't understand is
when we were in Vegas

I'm going to my sister's.

Hey, Michelle,
it's me again.

Give me a call
when you get this.

Okay, bye-bye.

God. Three messages
and she still hasn't
called me back yet.

Will you stop
worrying about her?

Just think about winning.

What's first place
pay, anyway?

$500,000.

Welcome to the Fifth Annual
Desert Bloom Poker Classic.

Dealers, shuffle up and deal.

Guess who?

How many guesses do I get?

One. Think you can
deal with those odds?

Oh, my God,
you're here!

How's it going so far?

Really good,
but it just got
a whole lot better.

It's good to
see you again.

Yeah, you, too.

You want some?
No, I'm okay.

What?

Nothing.

There's just
something about you.

You're a good guy, Alex.

Thank you.

Is something wrong?

I just wish
What?

I wish that we had met
under different circumstances.

How do you mean?

You know

You live in L.A.,
I live in Vegas.

So? It's 300 miles away.
Four and a half hours by car.

An hour by plane.

Where are you going?

My father's in town.

I thought I told you.

No.

I gotta go home
and get some rest.

You can sleep here.

I'll call you later, okay?

What?

Good luck tomorrow.

Susan.
Hi.

Is she there?

Yeah, I'll get her.

Hi.

Hi. How are you?

Where are you?

I'm in

I'm in Vegas with the kid.
You know, Alex.

What?

The World Poker
Tour Championship,
it starts in about two weeks.

I'm gonna whip
the kid in shape
and then I'm out of here.

Tommy.

Listen, this is it.

After this is over,
that's all for me.

I never thought
we'd be having
this conversation again.

Listen, we're gonna win back
all the money,

plus a little interest.

It's not the point.

What do you mean
it's not the point?
It is the point.

Goodbye, Tommy.

Sorry about those
last few hands.

No, you did fine.

And we made a little money.

A little money? Come on.

Sixty grand each.

Well, minus expenses.

To Bellagio.
Bellagio.

Hold on one second.

Michelle.
Michelle.

Yeah?
Hey.

Hi.

Is this is your dad?

Yeah, I'm her daddy,
at least for tonight.

Wait, what?

Go find your own girl.

Did you feel bad
for me or something?

Look. You don't understand.
This isn't what
it seemed to you

Did someone pay you?

God.
But

Fuck you.

It's Tommy.

I'm sorry about the girl.
It was a really dumb idea.

Hello?

Here you go, sir.

Hello?
Alex,
what are you doing?

Listen to me.
I know this seems

like a hell of
a lot of money.

It is a lot of money,
but it's nothing.

Nothing compared
to what we can do.

Just don't walk away
over some girl.

Don't you mean a hooker?

-Just trying to help.
-What, by fucking
with my feelings?

Alex, listen

No, no, I'm done
listening, okay?
I'm done.

We're through. It's over.

Maybe you can't read people
as well as you thought.

Yeah. Maybe you're right.

Hey. I'm home.

Jordie, honey,
give us a minute.

Just one more sec.

Jordan.

Hey.

I wanna hear everything.

Where were you
this weekend?

I told you.
I was with Ben.

All right,
I was in Vegas.

You guys, I came in third.

Alex, I didn't spend
the last 20 years of my life
working my ass off

so you could play
cards for a living.

Whatever. I got
a partial scholarship.

And who do you think
paid the other half?

Okay, fine.

Here! Here's the other half!

You won that?

$62,000.

And in two weeks
is the big one.
Top prize, $8 million!

Alex, listen to me.
You have a job.

Not anymore.
I'm quitting.

Oh, Alex,
now Alex.

Hi, you've reached Helen.

Please leave a message,
and I'll get back to
you as soon as I can.

In Las Vegas,
get ready to watch history,

as poker's elite battle
for the game's
ultimate title.

It's the $15 million
WPT Championship,
here on the World Poker Tour.

Hi, everyone. Welcome
to the biggest week
of the poker year,

the WPT World Championship.

I'm Mike Sexton
along with Vince Van Patten,

and Vince,
this is going to be
an amazing week of poker.

Oh, Mike,
we got five exciting days
of poker ahead of us.

Each player has to
put up $25,000 each,

and the winner
is gonna take home
over $8 million.

And what is really
exciting about this

is that everyone's
gonna play this event.

All the superstars
in the game are
playing this match.

Oh, you're right, Vince,
all the greats are here.

Razor Jones, Doyle Brunson,
Gus Hansen, Phil Ivey,
Daniel Negreanu,

Mike Double Diamond Jackson,
Tex Button,

and a rookie
who's been making
big noises

since he played
in his first WPT event

earlier this season,
Alex Stillman.

Well, Alex is a great player.

He is a young rookie.

They're all
talking about him.

You know, he finished
10th in a tournament

in New Orleans
a couple of weeks ago.

So everyone's
buzzing about him.

But there is
another great story
and that is because

there's a fantastic
player that is back.

A big comeback
for the phenomenal
Tommy Vinson.

Well, what
an amazing moment
this must be.

Tommy supposedly taught
one of our younger entries,
Alex Stillman,

a thing or two
about the game.

Now, Tommy hasn't played
a hand of poker
in over 20 years.

Well, I can tell you
that's a long time to be away

from poker at
this level, Vin.

Well,
I'll tell you something,
with Doyle and with Tommy

there's a lot of history
to this tournament,

and it's gonna
be a lot of fun.

I'm an anaconda

I slither as I slide

Fools like us
could live like kings

I'm ready
I'm ready

Get steady
get steady

You know that I wanna

I smoke your marijuana

I lose it down
the alley way

And there's nothing
left to say now

I don't need
no cheap success

I'm ready
I'm ready

Get steady
get steady

Fools like us
could live like kings

I'm ready
I'm ready

Get steady
get steady

I'm ready
I'm ready

Get steady
get steady

It's about time now

Y'all sure y'all
wanna ride in this rodeo?

Might be in a rough one, now.

That's what I thought.
Some of y'all
need to just go home

and take up
the game of bridge.
You won't lose your ass.

That puts you all in, pal.

You didn't want
any of these chips,
anyway, did you, old-timer?

Ace! Yes!
You're all going down.

But lord knows
I won't fake it

I don't need
no cheap success

I'm ready
I'm ready

Get steady
get steady

It's about time now

Thanks for coming.

No, don't even mention it.

I can't believe
he's playing again,
Charlie.

I know.

But why now?
Is it me?

No, no, no.

What could he possibly
need with cards now?

Dignity, respect.

He just wants to
hit that home run

before he walks off
into the sunset with you.

He wants the title
he never got.

Something that no one
can ever take away
from him.

I'm all in.

I'm all in, too.

Damn it.
Nice hand,
Tommy.

Take care of yourself, Ann.
Thanks.

Wow.
That's amazing.

Hey, what's up?

Oh, there's Alex.
I'll go say hi.

Okay.

Hey, Alex,
how you doing, man?

Great job today.

What's going on, guys?

Okay, Chaniqua.

Wow.

Hi.

Can I come in?

How did you find me?

I've got my ways.

Helen, listen to me
No, you listen.

I love you.

And I know
you needed
to do this

more than
I needed you
not to.

So I ask only one thing.

When you make it
to the final table,

win it.

Win it all.

One hundred thousand.

Raise to 100.

Five hundred thousand.

I'm all in.

I'm all in.

I'm all in.

Well, it's crunch time.
Only nine people remain

Four hundred thousand.
but only six make
it to the final table.

The pressure is mounting
as we move toward
that big money.

Two million.

Fold.

Two million, Tommy?

Haven't we done
this before, kid?

What'd you have?
Ace high?

I'm all in.

That I should
think realistically

I have nothing left to lose

Except for
what's inside of me

If at first I don't succeed

I call.

Don't tell me
to go to school

I'm not the guy.

The world is out there
waiting for me

Nice hand, Tommy.

And they call me a magician.

There you have it.
Tommy Vinson has knocked out
the Unabomber.

Five hundred.

All right.

Make it 1.5.

I'm all in.

Call.

All right,
now, if Razor gets a jack,
an ace or a spade,

she'll cripple Alex
and put him on
the morphine drip.

Here we go to the river.

It's a three.

Yes!

Fuck.

Read me like a book.

Seven players left.
We're down to the TV bubble.

Who's going home
and who will fulfill
their dreams?

Two hundred thousand.

You got something?

All right, dealer,
I would like to raise him.

Make it 700,000.

All in.

Tommy goes all in.

The Magician really
has a tough decision
to make now, Vince.

Yes, he does.

Sure about that?
Oh, yeah.

Wow, I can't imagine folding.

All right, I call.

Antonio calls
with the pocket jacks.

Well, it's almost 50-50.

Here comes the flop.

Keep them small, dealer.

Small.

No ace, no king, please.
One time.

Oh, he gets it, Vince!
He's caught the ace
on the river!

Nice hand, Tommy.

Good luck, guys.
Take care of my chips.

I'll do my best.

Just like that,
the Magician Antonio
has disappeared. Abracadabra.

That's it,
we are down to six.

We'll see you tomorrow
at the final table.

Pretty amazing, huh?

God, look, guys. Alex!

Hey.

Oh, my God, what's up?

What are you guys
doing here?

Ben told us
what was going on.

Oh, this is great.

We wanted to come.

Let's get
you guys a room.

I'll check us in.

All right, just give
me two seconds, okay?
I just gotta do this thing.

But tell them
you're my parents.
They'll hook you up.

You want some more?

No.

Excuse me, Mr. Vinson.

There's a phone call for you
up at the front.

All right.

Hello?

Looks like you're
doing pretty good
in the tournament.

Looks like I could
say the same for you.

Final table.
Life's full of surprises.

Yeah, it is.

Hey, I just
wanted to wish you
good luck tomorrow.

Good luck to you, too, pal.

Second place finish
wouldn't be bad
for a guy your age.

It wouldn't be bad
for a guy your age, either.

Look, my wife's here

Yeah, yeah,
I just want to
say one thing.

Yeah?

I know your tell.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Hi, everyone.
We are coming to you

live from Bellagio
in Las Vegas,

where the largest
prize pool in the history

of the World Poker
Tour will be given out.

We had a record
number of players
enter this year's event,

but only six
still have dreams

of capturing
this coveted title

and taking home
over $8 million.

Well, Mike,
this is gonna be great.

Big money here this week,
and let me tell you something.

All the big names in
the game were here,
all the superstar players,

but they are gone.
They are dead men walking.

They are rail birds,
'cause we are down
to our final six.

What a final table line-up
we've got for you.

You know what?
There is a cowboy
in the house.

That is right.
Yee-haw! Saddle up.

Get the tumble
weed out of your hair,
'cause Tex Button is here.

And next is the only lady
at this final table.

She's a former WPT
Ladies' Champion.

From Montreal, Canada,
Isabelle No Mercy Mercier.

That's right.
Oui. Oui.

Moving over to
the youngest player
at the table.

That's right,
he's only 21 years old.

I mean, he looks
like he just ran in
from a Barney concert.

He is the very talented
and rising star,
Alex Stillman.

And next up is a guy
who's won many titles
in his day,

but none for any amount
anything like this tonight.

I'm talking about
the man, the myth,

the Double Diamond,
Mike Jackson.

Next is a top
professional player

who's made many
final tables in his day.

From Los Angeles, California,
Scott Laser Lazar.

What a player he is.

Okay, now,
rounding out the field.

A very captivating story.

We have an old-school
poker player who

First time ever
on the World Poker
Tour final table.

In fact, this man
has not picked up
a card in over 20 years.

He's very talented.
Tommy Vinson.

Well, we've
got it all tonight.

Men versus women,
old-school versus new-school.

This is gonna be good, Vince.

It's gonna be great,
the cards are ready to fly.

Millionaires in the midst.
Let's go down to the felt.

Coming in
to today's final,

Tex Button is our chip leader
with about 12
million in chips.

And Vince, in second place
is the youngster,

the new kid on the block,
Alex Stillman.

He's got about
10 million in chips.

And in third place,
Mike Double Diamond Jackson

with about 9.3 million.

Six hundred thousand.

I'm out.

Call.

Check.

Another 600,000.

Tex, with
just the pair of nines,

he's coming out with
another bet, 600,000.

Call.

Tommy makes
a flush draw now

Check.

Check.

Tommy's made a flush,
but Tex has made
three of a kind.

Oh, wow,
this could be a complete
debacle here for Tex.

Two million.

All right, I call.

And Tex has
called him, Vince.

Oh, oh.
What a train wreck.

Flush.

Look at Tex. He looks
like the chuck wagon
just ran over him.

Nice hand, Tommy.

Tommy Vinson
takes down a monster pot,
well over five million.

Freedom

Check it out

Get on the move
Freedom

Get in the groove
Freedom

Heart! Heart! Heart!

Thank you, Jesus!

Come on, baby.

Give me
the queen of diamonds.

Oh, sweet Jesus,
give me something.

Yes!

Yes!

Aces up.

I'm all in.

Call.

Yes!

There's our first casualty.

Tex Button,
who came to
this final table

as our chip leader,
out in sixth place.

But Tommy Vinson
has flopped three fours.

Oh, man.
The dream flop.

Oh, look at this,
Isabelle needed
to spike a ten.

She did not get it.
She is gone.

Out in fifth place.

But she's gonna take home
585,000 for her
efforts this week.

Now, Tommy's a poker legend,
and to see him come
back after 20 years

and play in his first
tournament and make the final
table, it's phenomenal.

And you know,
he's playing so well,

I think he's gonna have
a good chance to
take this down.

All right. Well, let's
cross our fingers for Tommy
and get back to the action.

Call.

So,
Mike Double Diamond Jackson,
out in fourth place tonight,

but he'll be taking home
$878,000 with him.

Well, we're gonna
take a short break.
We are down to three.

Stay tuned.
We'll be right back with more
on the World Poker Tour.

You're doing great.

and we go to
a really nice dinner.
You wanna go?

So what are you gonna do
with all that money?

I don't know.

I gotta go.

Well,
Vince, it is crunch time,
and it's come down to this.

The third-place
finisher will take
home $2.2 million.

The runner-up
tonight will take
home a measly $4.1 million.

And our champion tonight
will capture a WPT
championship title,

as well as take home
just over $8 million.

Scott looks at his cards.

Look at this, Vince,
he finds a pair of
queens in the hole.

1.2 million more.

Right,
and Alex and Tommy

both have the identical hand,
jack, king.
This should be good.

Call.

Call.

Here comes the flop.

Oh, look at this, Vince!
A nine, ten, queen!

Alex and Tommy
have flopped the nuts,

a king-high straight,
but Laser Lazar
has a top set!

Check.
We're gonna see
fireworks here.

Potential disaster
for either one of these guys.

Three million.
Look at this.
Lazar is gonna bet it.

A significant bet.
Let's see how Alex
is gonna play this.

I'm all in.
Well,
he's going all in, Vince.

He's come over the top.

All in.
There goes Tommy.
He's gone all in as well.

I call.

It's a showdown.
They're gonna
turn up the cards.

And incredibly,
Alex and Tommy
are gonna split this pot,

unless Lazar pairs
the board on the river.

Otherwise,
he will be out.

He will be our
third-place finisher.

Here comes the turn card.

Well,
the five of clubs
comes on the turn.

It's irrelevant.
No help to anybody.

No.
Well, it's a three!

So that's gonna do
it for Scotty Lazar.

He is out in third place.

And incredibly, Vince,
the youngster and
the elder statesman

are gonna play
heads-up for this title
and the eight million bucks.

This is truly amazing.
But what a great effort
by Scotty Lazar.

Hit the set,
but he is out.

For his efforts,
he's gonna pick
up $2.2 million.

As is a tradition on
the World Poker Tour,

when we get down
to heads-up play,

we bring the trophy
and the cash
out to the table.

I'll tell you something,
this is going to
be a great story.

I mean, we have
the youngest player
at the table,

21 years old,
Alex Stillman.

What's amazing about this,
he was mentored

by the old-school player,
Tommy Vinson.

And now,
they are gonna go
up against each other

and battle each other
for the WPT
World Championship.

Absolutely incredible, Vince.
The teacher versus the pupil.

Who's gonna
take down the title
and the eight million bucks?

Well, the price of
poker is going up now.

We're now playing
with a $50,000 ante.

Blinds are at
$250,000 and $500,000.

Inflation
at Bellagio. Buckle up,
ladies and gentlemen.

Raise.

So here we go.
Look at this, Vince.
On hand number one,

Alex has the worst
starting hand possible.
Two million.

Yet he's
raising the pot, trying
to steal the first hand.

This is beautiful.

He's gonna try to pull off
a Winona with
absolute zip and pip.

Now, look at Tommy's cards.
He's got nothing.
He's got a junk hand.

You gotta think
he's gonna fold here, Mike.

Fold.

Well, you're right, Vince.
In fact, Tommy does fold.

So Alex takes
down pot number one
with a little thievery.

Raise to two million.

Oh, look at this.
That's a $2 million bet

and the kid is betting
with a junk hand,
just six, four.

He must feel like
Tommy has a weak hand.

Vince,
I think you're right.

It looks like Alex has
got him all figured out.

And unless Tommy
changes things
around quickly,

his championship hopes
could dwindle, Vince.

Yeah, you're right.

One million.

Look at this, Vince.
No. No!

Tommy has
bet a million dollars
without looking at his cards.

I've never seen
anything like this!

This is a first on
the World Poker Tour.

I mean, he's
pushing it in blind!

Is it gonna work?
Wow!

Call.

Well,
here comes the flop.

Check.

All in.

Vince, can you believe this?
$8 million on the line,

and Tommy Vinson has
gone all in without even
looking at his cards.

Fold.

Look at this,
he's gonna lay his hand down.
He's laying the hand down.

Well, Alex does fold.
So the play works
for Tommy Vinson.

You gotta be kidding me.

Make it a million.

Call.

Here we go again.
Blind man bluff.

Check.

Make it another million.

Call.

All in.

Amazing,
absolutely amazing.

Well,
the question is, Vince,

how long can
they continue playing
power poker in the dark?

You can only slide so far
on barbed wire, you know.

All right, now
he's finally gonna look
at his cards there.

Yeah, Vince,
look at this.

He's peeked at his hand,
he's got two jacks.

Let's see what
he's gonna do now.
Is he gonna push harder?

Check.

2.5 million.

You know, Vince,
I couldn't quite see

Alex's cards when
he bet the 2.5 million.

I know.

Tommy has gotta
love his hand.

Now, will he get aggressive
and go over the top?

Well, we shall see.

Call.
And look at this.

He's just calling, Vince.
Slow playing him.

Okay,
we're gonna see the flop.
Here it is.

That's a dangerous
flop right there.

Of course, we don't know
what Alex has at this point.

Check.

Check.

Okay,
here comes the turn card.

Check.

Look at
the stare-down
between them.

Check.
Alex checks again.

Yes, he does.
Okay, down to the river, Mike.

So there's
two pair on the board,
fours and threes, and an ace.

Very interesting,
but danger everywhere.

All in.

This is it.
Tommy Vinson
has gone all in.

Now, if Alex should
call and he's wrong,

Tommy Vinson would
become our new champion.

Call.
And he's called!

So Alex is gonna
need a three, a four,

a pair of queens,
a pair of kings,
or an ace to win this pot.

Tommy shows his jacks.

Nice hand, Tommy.

Well, that's it.
Yeah.

Tommy Vinson,
after a 20-year hiatus,

has come back and captured
the World Poker Tour
Championship title,

as well as $8.2 million.

Vince, what a story this is.
The teacher takes
the pupil to school.

That is gonna do it.
Let's go down and talk
to our new champion.

Dude. Buddy,
you kicked ass out there.
Congratulations.

Thanks.
You did great.

Second place finish
isn't that bad, right?

Are you kidding me?
$4 million.

I know.
Yeah.

That should easily
pay for three years

of law school,
if you decide to go.

Good job.

Thank you.

And here's to the new
WPT World Champion,
Tommy Vinson!

I'm Mike Sexton saying
thanks for watching,
and until next season,

may all your cards be live
and your pots be monster!

Yeah?
Gorgeous.

So, Dad, after,
you can go fish

and then have
a couple of martinis.

Hey, just give me
one second. Okay?

Give me a minute,
will you?
Yeah.

Great playing.

Me? Come on,
what about you?

I got lucky with the cards.

Well, I guess
I should thank you.

For what?
You're a natural.

No, not about the cards.

You see me
with that girl
in there?

Oh.

I'm sorry you didn't win.

I will, someday.

Damn right, you will.

Well, gotta go.

Hey, so I'm gonna see you
at Foxwood's next month?

Not a chance.
Going to Hawaii.
First-class.

Oh, man, this is
really it for you?
You're done?

I might come out
of retirement

25, 30 years.

You were holding
in your hand a pair,
right?

Like nines? Tens?

Tens.

Tens. I knew it.

All right,
see you, Tommy.
