Thank you.

- You're gonna help me out here?

- Yes.

Keep looking for the tell.

If he plays with his ring,

I'm gonna gut that son of a b*tch.

- Can we deal?

- Deal, say the losers.

The man says

you gotta give action to get action.

I've heard that too.

I bet the flush, the flush don't

come. I slow-play chips, nobody calls.

- A new hand and a winner.

- Budge over, will you?

Everybody stays, everybody pays.

Here they come.

I bet the fifty.

I call.

And 50 back.

Fold.

100, and 200 more.

I call.

200, I call it.

Cards to the players. Three good players.

Mike?

One card.

Al?

One moment.

I'll take three.

One card.

I pass.

What's the pot? 2, 4, 5... 800 dollars.

That's my bet.

- I call it.

- You call?

You only call?

Well, let's go visit Mr More.

Your 800.

And I raise 2500 bucks.

I can't stand it.

South. I'm going south.

South Street Seaport, the man says.

He can't stand the heat. He can't stand it.

You wanna play cards?

The bet is two and a half thou.

The bet? I'll tell you what the bet is.

Your 25.

And I raise you $6,000.

You son of a b*tch. You've been

steamrollin' over me all night.

One card, and you caught a flush?

A boat? What?

I think you're bluffin'.

I think you're tryin' to buy it.

You're gonna have to give me

some respect or give me some money.

- The bet is $6,000.

- I know what the goddamn bet is.

I'm going to pee.

Watch my cards.

- I thought you were gonna bring me luck.

- Make your own luck.

Takin' change.

I think I might

have to go to the well again.

Yes, yes, yes.

Some people say one thing,

some people say something else.

The man can't play,

he should stay away.

His money

is as good as yours is.

His money is.

Now we're gonna see about his cards.

That's right, Miss, isn't it?

Now we're gonna see his hand.

How are you doing, Miss?

Are you bringing him good fortune?

Excuse me?

Who do you like in this hand? Him or me?

- Leave the woman alone.

- Just making conversation.

Who do you like in this showdown?

Your friend or me?

Well, I've seen his hand,

but I haven't seen yours.

That's right.

That's absolutely right.

OK, let's play some cards.

Now, the bet is what?

You're raised $6,000, Mike.

Mike, how you feeling?

You ready to take this guy's money?

- He's bluffing.

- You saw him?

He did what you said.

He played with his ring.

He did? Well, he'd better be,

- cos I don't have the six, and if I lose...

- You aren't going to.

- Are you sure you saw him?

- He played with his ring. Call the bet.

The bet is six thousand dollars.

Six thousand dollars.

- I think you're bluffing.

- I didn't ask what you think.

Raise, call or fold.

I should raise your ass,
