The Grand Page #7
All right,
she wants chicken.
Scalloped potatoes
I'm gonna get to
the scalloped potatoes.
First, we want asparagus.
Asparagus.
Right.
[Larry]
And I-- uh, change
one of those steaks--
Oh, look at this,
another country heard from.
What do you want now, Larry?
Um, can you change
one of the steaks--
I don't care which one--
to the sake tuna,
sake-glazed tuna?
You can't have tuna.
You can have a steak.
I know what I want
to eat, okay?
No tuna.
[Larry sighs]
Three steaks,
she can have chicken,
You got everything else?
How come--
We don't need
the scalloped potatoes.
Forget about that.
Okay?
[Seth]
Why don't you wrap
his steak up?
He'll take it with him.
No, no.
That's all right.
Wrap the steak up for him
so he'll take it with him.
All right? Okay?
It's an excellent steak.
Tell the chef.
And bring me the check.
Wow. You don't
have to do that.
I got something very exciting
to talk to you two about.
I've been meeting
with the president
of Peter Pan
Poker Network.
He wants to do a site,
where you two are going
to have your own poker site
as soon as you can get rid of
I Can't Believe It's Poker.
"ICantBelieveIGet
ToPlayPokerDotCom"
the word...
Right. Whatever.
..."triple seven"
the number, dot net.
There were some other names
my first choice, but um...
I got into the whole web arena
a little late, and--
Whatever, I'm ready to go.
It's not about the name.
And we all can be involved
in this together...
Well, what's the deal?
...as a family.
That sounds cool.
I got them up to
[Larry]
Well...
Plus a signing bonus.
What?
It's a great deal.
Well, I appreciate the effort
and the-- but that's not a--
that's not the best deal.
that was a good deal?
He said it was good deal.
Okay, you don't know
what the f*** you're
talking about.
If you think
that's a good deal,
you don't know
the first f***ing thing
about a website, okay?
So don't do it,
don't get involved.
This is not
for you to do.
A daughter...
does not talk to
her father...like that.
Dad.
Dad!
You...said you were
going to get the check.
I'm gonna go check
on the kids.
You know what?
Lainie, we should talk
about this, because...
Take your time.
I'll see you.
...shouldn't it be
LarryAndLainie.com?
No, that's not
even the point now.
I think it is
very much the point.
It's going to be--
It's not even going
to happen, this thing, so...
Oh.
It's Day 2 at The Grand
in Las Vegas,
and the field is narrowing
considerably.
By the end of the day,
we'll be down to our
final six players,
one of whom will win
the $10 million
first-place prize.
[Larry]
Hey, guys.
All right.
Let's play poker, boys.
[clears throat]
And lady,
let's play some poke--
Ma'am, may I speak to you?
I need to speak to you.
Could you come over here
for a minute, please?
Bobby, I'm about to--
Come on.
That's improper dress.
You're not allowed
to wear that.
On, no, no, no, no.
I know.
I converted to Muslam, uh,
last night on the-- from--
there was something on TV.
That's all right,
but that's a woman's dress,
not a man's dress.
You have to dress
like a man.
That's anti-Semitic,
and that's anti-feminist,
and that's racist.
And you are going
on report.
Fine. All right.
But guess what.
I'm playing this
under protest,
all right?
Have you seen me raise
with shitty cards? Nope.
Haven't raised with
shitty cards all night.
Don't ever say shitty,
pumpkin.
Las Vegas is a place
that has no irony.
You just win or you lose.
And you are a giant,
or you are a midget.
You are just walking
away as a dwarf.
You are cowed
if you are not--
if you don't have
the guts to win.
You are drawing more dead
than a rotten corpse
that reeks of carrion.
That makes no sense.
Better get out.
Yes!
[Jack]
You're up against a lot
of great players, but...
Well, I have a sense
of purpose about this.
Quite frankly,
I have to win.
Ooh, this is a hard one.
Wait, what happened?
Good.
Yeah, Day 2, that was
pretty smooth sailing.
I learned that my daughter's
really good at math.
[Phil]
Larry Schwartzman
still going strong.
He's knocked out some
of the best players in poker,
but now he's up against
"Sob Story" Barry Blausteen.
I'm all in.
And Blausteen's all in.
Schwartzman
is counting him down.
Looks like he's
considering a call.
Did I tell you
I couldn't have kids?
Zero sperm count.
Doesn't matter anyway.
If those kids were born,
they'd die of cancer anyway.
Everyone in my family
died of cancer.
My wife's got cancer.
Blausteen really
laying it on thick here.
She's got six months
to live.
Your-- Your wife
has six months to live?
At the most.
That's-- You went
to a bunch of doctors?
You got several opinions?
I mean, you're sure that--
It's metastasized.
It's over.
[choking up]
I loved her so much.
Did--
I don't know--
I don't know what
[Mike]
Wow. This is a very
effective performance.
He's taken it
to a new level,
and Larry really seems
to feel bad for him.
Well, wait a second.
Wait a second.
I just realized
I don't give a sh*t.
No, wait.
Okay, I'm all in.
Schwartzman
didn't fall for it.
All right. Whaddaya got?
He's all out
against Blausteen.
Turn 'em over.
It looks like he's going
to win this pot.
Sh*t!
Hmm, yeah.
Doesn't quite beat it, huh?
It's all right.
It's all right.
Now you got more time
to play with the kids
you're not gonna have.
Talk about a sob story,
Barry is out of this
tournament.
You dropped your,
uh, yarmulka.
I'll tell you what
I think happened, Phil.
I think he misread
the cards.
Nah, I doubt it.
Well, it's a common problem.
I talk about it
in my book, chapter 9,
"Knowing Your Cards."
What do you mean
"knowing your cards"?
Knowing your cards.
There's 52 of them.
It's not that easy
to remember all of them.
Werbe tip number 2:
know the cards,
memorize the cards,
every single one of them.
Simple, and it's easy,
especially with the Mike Werbe
patented flash cards.
[gun shots]
[poker chips rattling]
[gun shot]
[poker chips rattling]
[Phil]
We're down
to two tables now,
and Andy Andrews continuing
an improbable run.
[slurping]
Over at Table 5, Jack Faro
has had a tough day.
He's trying to hang on
to his remaining chips.
Jack's in the big blind
with two callers.
[Mike]
We've got a three-way pot.
Yes, we do, and Jack is gonna
be first to bet on this flop.
6 of diamonds, 8 of diamonds,
deuce of diamonds.
[crowd murmuring]
That's 200,000.
It's hard to say
what he's got here, Mike,
but it wouldn't surprise me
if Jack was just trying
to steal this pot.
Melvin out of the way.
on a steal here.
200,000 is a very big bet.
And The German
does make the call.
Here comes the turn card.
