Deal

1

I'm in.

All right, ladies, $20.

Hey, fruity cocktail,

you in or not?

I'm out.

JESSE:
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.

ALEX:
Sure you wanna do that?

I think you're bluffing.

WALLY:
Throwing out the line.

ALEX:
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.

JESSIE:
You are so full of sh*t.

Am I? JESSIE:
Yeah.

This is so much fun,

gentlemen. I fold.

Coming out.

Sh*t, I didn't even

need that one.

Oh. Damn it!

JESSE:
Unbelievable.

JESSE:
What's that?

Every damn time, man.

KEVIN:
Sh*t. God.

One more round? JESSIE: I don't

wanna play with you anymore.

Dude, this sucks.

What sucks?

This.

College, man, it's over.

No more fun.

(PHONE RINGING)

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?

(STAMMERS) 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.

JESSE:
What happens if he wins?

BEN:
Alex plays in a Poker

Stars tournament on TV.

JESSE:
No way! Sick. WALLY: 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.

(BEEPING)

Yeah!

(ALL CHEERING)

Yeah.

ALEX:
Hey, guys.

MRS. STILLMAN:
We are

so proud of you, honey.

MR. STILLMAN:
Yes, we are.

Thank you.

MR. STILLMAN:
Magna

cum laude, not bad.

But 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.

JOE:
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.

HELEN:
Want another drink, hon?

Nope, no, I'm fine.

JOE:
We'll get a look at our new

young gun in just a minute.

(SWITCHING CHANNELS)

ANNOUNCER:
One out.

Do you wanna give

me a hand in here?

Guy's on third.

I'll be right in.

ANNOUNCER:

Up next is Phil Cabaratta.

The first time, he walked

and moved around there,

and the next time, he banged

himself out a triple.

JOE:
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.

GREG:
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.

KAREN:
Four thousand.

Right off the bat, huh, Karen?

Yeah. Whee.

PHIL:
No rest for the wicked.

JOE:
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.

ALEX:
Ten thousand.

This young kid

might get into trouble

in this hand if

he's not careful.

GREG:
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.

PHIL:
The ten of clubs.

Interesting. I'm all in.

JOE:
Wow. Look at that.

(GREG CHUCKLING)

GREG:
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.

JOE:
And Alex is going to be

very disappointed here, I think.

PHIL:
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.

(TV TURNING OFF)

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.

(SOFT ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

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?

(CHUCKLING) Oh, Tommy.

Honey,

this money has to last us

the rest of our lives.

ANNOUNCER:
At the wire, it's

Amanda's Pride, Lucky Day and...

CHARLIE:
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.

ALEX:
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.

BEN:
Tip from me, thanks.

(WHISTLING)

You really should be doing
