(EXCLAIMING)

Two hundred thousand.

You got something?

All right, dealer,

I would like to raise him.

Make it 700,000.

All in.

MIKE:
Tommy goes all in.

The Magician really has a tough

decision to make now, Vince.

VINCE:
Yes, he does.

ANTONIO:
Sure about that?

Oh, yeah.

Wow, I can't imagine folding.

All right, I call.

MIKE:
Antonio calls

with the pocket jacks.

Well, it's almost 50-50.

MIKE:
Here comes the flop.

ANTONIO:

Keep them small, dealer.

Small.

No ace, no king, please.

One time.

MIKE:
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.

VINCE:
Just like that, the Magician

Antonio has disappeared. Abracadabra.

MIKE:
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.

ALEX:
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.

MAITRE D':

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.

MIKE:
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.

VINCE:
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.

MIKE:
What a final table

line-up we've got for you.

VINCE:
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 WP Ladies' Champion.

From Montreal, Canada,

Isabelle "No Mercy" Mercier.

VINCE:
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.

VINCE:
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.

MIKE:
Well, we've

got it all tonight.

Men versus women,

old-school versus new-school.

This is gonna be good, Vince.

VINCE:
It's gonna be great,

the cards are ready to fly.

Millionaires in the midst.

Let's go down to the felt.

MIKE:
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.

TEX:
Six hundred thousand.

DIAMOND:
I'm out.

Call.

Check.

TEX:
Another 600,000.

VINCE:
Tex, with

just the pair of nines,

he's coming out with

another bet, 600,000.

Call.

MIKE:
Tommy makes

a flush draw now...

Check.

Check.

MIKE:
Tommy's made a flush, but

Tex has made three of a kind.

VINCE:
Oh, wow, this could be a

complete debacle here for Tex.

Two million.

All right, I call.

MIKE:
And Tex has

called him, Vince.

VINCE:
Oh, oh.

What a train wreck.

Flush.

Look at Tex. He looks like the

chuck wagon just ran over him.

Nice hand, Tommy.

MIKE:
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!

(CHEERING)

Thank you, Jesus!

Come on, baby.

Give me the queen of diamonds.

Oh, sweet Jesus,

give me something.

DIAMOND:
Yes!

Yes!

Aces up.

I'm all in.

Call.

Yes!

MIKE:

There's our first casualty.

Tex Button, who came

to this final table

as our chip leader,

out in sixth place.

MIKE:
But Tommy Vinson

has flopped three fours.

VINCE:
Oh, man.

MIKE:
The dream flop.

VINCE:
Oh, look at this,

Isabelle needed to spike a ten.

She did not get it. She is gone.

MIKE:
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.

(LOOSE IN LAS VEGAS PLAYING)

MIKE:
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?

WOMAN:
So what are you gonna

do with all that money?

ALEX:
I don't know.

I gotta go.

MIKE:
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.

SCOTT:
1.2 million more.

VINCE:
Right, and Alex and Tommy

both have the identical hand, jack, king.

This should be good.

Call.

Call.

MIKE:
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. MIKE:
We're gonna

see fireworks here.

VINCE:
Potential disaster

for either one of these guys.
