Hey, guys.

And our chip Ieader, in seat number eight...

...most recently from the south of France,

two-time world champion...

...2,1 1 6,000, L.C. Cheever.

L.C. and Huck Cheever.

The first time ever a father and son

have competed against each other...

...at the final table of the World Series.

The blinds are eight and 1 6,000...

...the button will start in

seat four with Huck Cheever.

Good Iuck, players.

Shuffle up and deal.

The action will start with

Ralph Kaczynski.

Ralph folds.

L.C. raises to 50,000.

David folds.

Josh is out. Jason folds. Frank folds.

Huck re-raises to 250,000.

Chico folds.

Michelle folds.

The action is back to L.C. Cheever.

You trying to steamroll us, kid?

Another 200,000, you can find out.

I know you're reckless, Huckleberry...

...but I also know you don't wanna

be the first to go out.

L.C. folds, and Huck Cheever

wins the first pot.

The action is still early here

at the final table...

...but Huck Cheever remains consistent.

He's the only player refusing to show

his cards to the hole card camera.

Even Chico Banh and L.C. Cheever, two

former world champions, have acquiesced.

And the river is a five.

Chico Banh wins the pot.

Nice hand.

Josh Cohen is our ninth place finisher.

David bets 250,000.

And the river is a jack.

Huck Cheever wins the pot.

David Chen finishes in eighth place.

I'm all-in.

Michelle Carson is all-in.

I call.

Frank calls.

Frank Belando finishes in seventh place.

-Nice playing with you.

-Here, you take this.

Thanks.

How much does he have Ieft?

About...270.

Raise.

Ralph re-raises to 400,000.

L.C. folds.

The action's back to Chico Banh.

Call.

Chico's all-in with two eights.

Ralph Kaczynski has ace, king.

Two eights versus ace, king.

And the flop.

FIop is a king, a seven and a deuce.

Two kings for Ralph Kaczynski.

Two eights for Chico Banh.

Unless the Spanish-speaking Vietnamese

catches another eight...

...it's hasta Ia vista for Chico Banh.

And the turn.

It's a three.

Only an eight will save Chico Banh.

And the river...

...is a jack.

Chico Banh, our sixth place finisher.

Takes home $200,000.

Good Iuck, Huck.

And the flop.

Queen, nine, six.

AII clubs.

L.C. bets 200,000.

Huck folds.

-Call.

-Michelle calls.

The turn card is a deuce of clubs.

You have to assume they

both have flushes.

The question is who has

the highest club in the hole.

L.C. checks.

Michelle bets 400,000.

L.C. calls.

And the river...

...is an eight of clubs.

L.C. checks.

-I'm all-in.

-Michelle Carson is all-in.

-Call.

-L.C. calls.

Michelle has a king of clubs

for a king high flush.

Very nice.

But not nice enough.

-Jeez.

-A straight flush.

L.C. Cheever has eliminated

Michelle Carson with a straight flush.

The Iast straight flush at the final table

in the World Series of Poker...

...was 1 994.

There were none before that.

Go get him.

And Michelle Carson,

our fifth place finisher, wins $320,000.

Nice hand.

Yeah. It's usually not the big hands

that do it, though.

Twenty-eight years ago I was head to head

with Doyle Brunson at the final table.

He caught a 1 0 on the river for three 1 0s,

and he won the tournament.

It was his time.

Two years Iater, I knocked Bobby Baldwin

out with a pair of jacks.

It was my time.

This could be my Iast chance

to win this thing again.

Tournament's too big.

Luck's too much of a factor now.

Why do you even care?

You got nothing to prove.

You've already won it twice.

Legacy.

If I could win a third time,

I'd be in the book.

On the first page.

Well, one way or the other...

...we're making a kind of history here.

You and me at the final table.

Yeah, that's one way to Iook at it.

How do you Iook at it?

You can call it what you Iike.

What goes around, comes around.

That's a Iong time ago, Huckleberry.

Your mother forgave me.

Why can't you?

What makes you think

she ever forgave you?

She told me so when she gave

me back her ring.

You stole the ring.

That's right, I did.

Hocked it. Redeemed it.

Gave it back to her.

She never wore it again.

Before she died, she gave it back to me.

I kept the ring because your mother's

forgiveness meant a Iot to me.

Well, then, why did you gamble with it?

I won it from you, remember?

Because she's your mother.

-Hey, Eddie.

-Welcome back.

-Here you go.

-Thank you.

He's the man.

Huck raises to 90,000.

Raise.

Ralph re-raises to 300,000.

L.C. folds.

Jason folds.

Having fun, Ralph?

Huck folds, and Ralph wins the pot.

Jason raises to 1 00,000.

Huck calls.

And Ralph calls.

Three players in the pot.

And the flop.

Jack, four, three. AII different suits.

Huck checks.

Ralph bets 350,000.

Jason calls.

And Huck calls.

This pot is now over one million dollars.

And the turn...

...is the king of hearts.

Huck checks.

I'm all-in. Nine-fifty.

Ralph Kaczynski's all-in for 950,000.

Jason folds.

Call.

Huck calls.

Ralph Kaczynski can't be feeling

too good about this.

In fact, he probably feels a Iittle Iike

a bear who's walked into a trap.

Ralph Kaczynski has

kings and jacks, two pair.

Huck has a set of threes.

Kaczynski needs a king or a jack.

Anything else, and Huck Cheever

has knocked him out of this tournament.

And the river.

And the river is a queen.

And Huck Cheever has won the pot.

Ralph Kaczynski wins 440,000,

with his fourth place finish.

We're down to our final three.

Yeah, that was smooth play, man.

Huck is first act on the button.

Huck calls 40,000.

L.C. raises to 1 00,000.

Jason folds.

-I'II just call.

-Huck calls.

What do you mean, "just call"?

Take it any way you want.

It's just a call.

And the flop.

The flop is seven, five, deuce, rainbow.

Let's play for three.

L.C. makes it 300,000.

Raise.

Your three, and three more.

Huck raises to 600,000.

Interesting raise, Huckleberry.

Just call.

L.C. calls.

Turn.

Turn is a deuce of spades.

Another five to go.

L.C. bets 500,000.

-Call.

-Huck calls.

The pot is now two million dollars.

Now you smooth call.

The book says:

"If you're holding the bullets now would

be the time to go over the top."

Go all-in.

The river.

River's the eight of hearts.

So, here we are.

Here we are.

How much do you have?

About 650.

I think I have you, Huckleberry.

AII-in.

L.C Cheever is all-in.

Huck calls.

And he'II double up, or be out.

-Call.

-Huck calls.

L.C. has two kings.

Kings, nice hand.

They're good.

L.C. Cheever wins the pot.

Nice playing, Huck.

Huck Cheever, is our third place bencher,

winning 650,000 dollars.

Huck.

This is it, we're down to the final

two players for the world championship...

...L.C. Cheever and our chip Ieader,

Jason Keyes.

Make way for

the two point five million in cash.

Huck. I put you on queens, right.

Right, queens.

Huck, could we have

a couple of words with you?

Knocked out by your own father.

Kind of cold-blooded, huh?

L.C. re-raises to 620,000.

Jason raises one more....

Well, somebody who understands
