- [Chris] From Turning Stone
Resort, in up state New York,
this is Poker Night in America.
(upbeat music)
- Welcome to Poker Nights in
America, I'm Chris Hanson.
Along with a guy who only
buys shoes in half sizes.
He's Joe Stapleton.
We're back at Turning Stone
Resort in up state New York.
- Hello my babies, coming up
tonight if you like playing
poker with just one eye open
have we got the show for you.
It's a couple of rounds
of blind man's bluff.
Things get a little weird.
- [Chris] We continue day two,
a couple of players who were
with us on day one are now
sitting back down.
Rep Porter in seat two, and
Mike Dentale in seat five.
- [Joe] The big looser so far
is the guy with two first names.
Richard Anthony.
Ya suspect Dick, ya suspect.
- I dunno just say the
five-deuce a minute ago.
- [Joe] Put the Tender down
Shaun, you're a dad.
- [Porter] It made me sad when
you showed me the five-deuce.
- [Chris] Blinds are $25 and
$50.
- I said it made me sad when
you showed me the five-deuce.
- You thought you
were going to win
with the three when
I checked back?
- [Chris] Most of the players
taking advantage of the optional
$100 straddle under the gun.
- Thank you Jill.
He doesn't say it, but I will.
- Thank you, Jill.
- I always say thank you.
- I didn't hear it.
- You didn't that time.
- She didn't serve it yet.
- She's not the server.
(laughter)
- [Thomas] Come on, just,
we can gamble.
- [Porter] Maybe
she just came by
to learn about your web site.
- [Chris] Deeb out of the
small blind makes it $825.
- [Thomas] FollowUpBet.com?
- I don't know that web site.
I thought we were talking
about the shoe fetish site.
(chuckles)
- You're ahead.
- I'm not.
(laughter)
How much is it?
- Such a weak slow-roll.
- Come on bro.
- [Chris] $800 to call Deeb,
this is your opportunity to
fold.
- You wouldn't fold
five, deuce here bro.
- [Chris] Just telling you.
- I have worse then five, deuce.
- He'd have to flip first too.
- I have deuce, seven.
- [Chris] Oh no.
Shaun Deeb setting up a
different kind of slow roll now.
A sly slow roll.
- Let's go deuce, seven.
- Show one.
- I have deuce, seven.
Deuce, seven of clubs.
- I got jack, ten of heart.
- No you don't.
- What you think I got?
- You do not have
jack, ten of hearts.
- [Joe] Well, Travell's
flopped pretty good.
- Four of clubs.
- Flat out, thought this was
going to be a ripped card.
- [Joe] And Deeb
only can hit an ace.
- Oh my god.
- I have the nut
low. I can not win.
- You win, bro.
- He has 2-4.
- I got queens.
- Yeah you win.
- Bro, I know you
win the hand, bro.
(laughter)
I know you win, bro.
(laughter)
- River the (beep) ace.
- Of course.
Of course he rivers an ace.
- He always gets the perfect--
- [All] (talking and
laughing at once)
- I knew he was doing
it, so whatever.
- I was doing it pre-flop.
How do you know I was doing it?
- I knew you hit the ace, bro.
- Ace-nine off suite was my
slow-roll hand.
- I knew you hit the ace.
- [Dentale] Go
Tommy, go Tommy.
- [Hanson] You won that
without a showdown.
- [Porter] Was there
$5000 in that pot Shaun?
- [Deeb] He only had
$1600 I know.
- [Porter] Sad.
- [Chris] Tom Cannuli
with queen, nine suited.
Another November niner.
Along with this guy.
Joe McKeehen.
You may have heard of
him, he's become famous.
- [Porter] We
got five bottles.
- You got five?
Was it four of Caymus?
- She had five
bottles of Caymus only.
- Oh really?
- She found five downstairs.
- Awesome.
- So I told her just
to leave them all.
Because you would drink it.
- Yeah.
- [Chris] Wow, we've
got some top shelf wine
that's coming to the table.
- [Joe] Come on guys, we
all know you're not drinking
bottles of wine.
You're drinking boxes.
- Rep, where you going back to?
- [Joe] Wine tastes
better at right angles.
- Where am I going back
too? Like where do I live?
- Yeah.
- Seattle.
- Seattle.
- [Chris] Torelli,
Cannuli, and Deeb.
Sounds like a bad law firm.
Going to the flop.
- [Joe] Oh man,
get the popcorn.
This is going to be a Blues
Brothers style car crash.
And Shaun Deeb is going to
be the Illinois state police.
- I knew you had it on the flop.
- [Joe] Torelli is
kicking off the pile up
with an $800 bet.
- [Dealer] Call.
- [Joe] Shaun Deeb
doesn't have the worse hand,
but he has zero percent chance
of ending up the winner.
And I think he can
certainly raise here.
Despite the fact that
he's drawing dead,
it's a draw heavy board,
folks are very likely to
have some kind of piece.
Especially with a bet and a
call already in front of them.
- [Chris] So the number
is $3300 from Deeb.
Back to Torelli.
If you listen carefully,
you can actually hear
the tap dancing coming out
of Alec Torelli's brain.
- [Joe] - (chuckles)
I'm glad you came to the
same conclusion I did, that
he is just tanking here
so he doesn't seem to excited.
Take your time, play it cool.
Don't get the chips in too fast.
- [Chris] The question
is, does Torelli
want to keep both Cannuli
and Deeb interested here?
- [Joe] He's
going to flat here.
If he tanks this long and
then raises it' looks
super strong, but yeah, he
wants Cannuli to call behind.
- [Chris] You survive the turn,
and then you
eliminate one of them.
- [Joe] I mean if it's
a good turn you don't want
to eliminate anyone.
Alright Alec, I
think you've sold it.
Now you're just
wasting our time.
- I'll still give
you a $100 to try it.
- Nah.
- [Chris] He finally
has made his decision,
and that decision is to call.
- [Thomas] Smart decison.
It's worth more than $100.
- [Joe] And with
the odds he's getting,
and a draw to one
end to the nuts,
I don't think Cannuli can fold.
$2500 to win $8500.
- [Porter] When they went
into the institutional sales.
- [Anthony] Oh, no kidding?
What years are we talking about?
- [Chris] Oh, baby.
- [Porter] It
started in January '99
and I worked through '04.
- [Anthony] Okay.
- [Chris] This pot was
barely over $1000 pre-flop,
and now we're at $11,000.
- [Joe] And that's it.
Cannulli and Deep
are drawing dead.
And unfortunately for Deeb,
he's going to think
that he just turned
the absolute worlds fair.
- [Chris] He's frying
fish at this moment.
- [Joe] He's opening
a chain of franchises.
- [Chris] (chuckles)
- [Joe] Look at that.
Everybody plays it
slow on the turn.
And Cannuli of course,
he just has queen high
but the two boats out
there are playing it slow.
- [Hanson] What's this,
that drink, Incredible Hulk?
What is in that?
- [Joe] And I think
Torelli has got a bet here.
Doesn't want to risk
getting two checks behind.
- 85.
$8500.
- [Dealer] $8500.
- [Anthony] And how long
have you been a pro?
- [Porter] I played
when I was in college--
- Stupid hand.
- [Porter] And then I
went north for six years.
And I played since,
I left there in '04.
- [Joe] I will be so impressed
if Deeb is able to fold this.
I mean he is loosing to jacks,
he's loosing to jack, ten.
- I feel like its Hellmuth's
hand all over again.
- [Joe] Loosing to
ten-seven, sevens.
His hand just so strong.
Yeah, I don't think he can
realistically fold that.
- [Chris] And once again,
you said it earlier,
Alec Torelli is nothing
but strong when he plays on
Poker Night in America.
I see nothing changing
my opinion of that play.

- Thanks for coming back
to Turning Stone Resort,
our stop tonight on
Poker Night in America.
(players all chatting at once)
- [Joe] Should
be no surprise,
Alec Torelli stacking chips.
Seems to be all he
does on this show.
- [Chris] Dentale up
to $250, with queens.
And jacks, McKeehan.
- [Thomas] You folded top
set to him?
- [Chris] Oh, why not?
Throw ace, king into the mix.
- [Joe] All poker's
greatest hits.
- [Chris] Now if we just
had like six, seven suited
who'd want to get priced in.
- [Joe] Well it's going to
be tough for six, seven suited
to get involved now since
Shaun Deeb just made it $1100.
- I think the big
bet games like,
there just aren't
enough of them anymore
that are high enough stakes.
- Sick thing about it,
I wasn't even going to
play this hand.
That's the funny thing about it.
- [Chris] Yeah right.
- Because I know once
you loose a hand,
you guys are like, this
kids raising me 100%.
How come we always
do that, right?
When we loose a big pot,
we raise the next hand.
- [Joe] Cause you
wake up with queens?
- Joe you drinking one?
You want yours right now?
- Yes.
- This for everybody.
This for everybody, right?
- Bart's having one.
- I want one.
Is it enough?
- Yeah.
We got a lot of bottles.
- [Joe] Why thank you.
So Dentale just calls,
which I like.
Deeb could easily be
re-raising with garbage,
and you don't want
to chase him out.
In this case he isn't.
- Stick it in me, dealer.
Lovely.
- [Joe] Is Dentale for real?
You know why I think
he's called Dentale?
Cause there's something
wrong with his mouth.
- How much?
- I don't even know.
- [Joe]  And I don't hate the
all-in protection shove here.
He can certainly
get called by jacks,
he might get called by ace, ten.
He could get called by a draw.
McKeehan does call him
with a with worse hand,
Deeb gets out of the way.
- [Dentale] I have queens.
- [Deeb] Show the hands.
- [Porter] Shaun
who else needs wine?
- [Joe] And it's a
queen on the river.
- [Deeb] Nice speech, buddy.
- [Joe] McKeehan
needed to hit a jack.
Did not.
- [Cannuli] That was a crazy
speech you put on there
with that hand.
I knew why, what you'd say?
- I wasn't even going
to play this hand.
- [Both] (talking at once)
- [Dentale] I think
we should choose
the card to show though.
- [Torelli] No.
- [Deeb] No.
- I think it's
more fun that way.
- We'll do an orbit each.
- [Torelli] It's kinda more fun
if you do it after the flop.
- Not an orbit each bro.
No, bro.
I'm stuck, I need
to get back even.
- [Chris] K, so everyone is
playing with one card up.
- [Joe] Of course
Deeb's got a pair.
- [McKeehen] He's
much 'em anyways,
I was trying to help him out.
(laughter)
- All I see is ace, king.
- [Chris] Richard
Anthony makes it $400.
- [Dentale] So full of
bluffness it's amazing.
(laughter)
- [Chris] He's got an ace
showing.
- [Anthony] That's not a bluff.
- I think I have a
super edge on this game.
- [McKeehen] The sick thing is--
Mike, you think that every time.
And you're always wrong, so.
- [Dentale] My mind is
just working so creatively.
- [McKeehen] You make me
want to play this game more.
- [Dentale] I'm calling
$400 with a six.
- [Torelli] Strong.
Nothing is as strong
as Shaun with a 4 showing.
(laughter)
- If he would have raised,
I would have been tilted.
- [Hanson] Put the
king in the sensor there.
- [Joe] I want to say
when Shaun limp calls
with a four showing his
hand is kind of face up
but it is kind of face up.
- [Chris] Well he now
got a set of fours.
- [Deeb] Got a pair.
- [Chris] Or a pair
of fours showing.
- [Joe] Torelli has
flopped an up and down draw.
Nobody else has got
much of anything.
- Check.
- [Joe] What is step four
in alcoholics anonymous?
- [Chris] Is that
bargaining, reasoning?
It's one of the "ings".
- Alec, you play a lot of poker
or just write articles?
What do you do?
(laughter)
- [Torelli] I do a lot
of, a lot of things.
- [Thomas]
FourthStepPoker.com, go there.
- God, I'm just loosing
money. Constantly.
- [McKeehen] Wonder why?
- Listen, before I have
you double me up again,
relax there.
- Things could get really weird.
This game can get really weird.
- [Joe] I think Shaun is
going to raise here, a lot.
- Joe McKeehan, my buddy.
Let's have this on film that
Joe McKeehan is my buddy,
I do like him.
Not.
- [Deeb] 29.
- I'll let him
speak for himself.
- [Joe] I mean he can
just play such mind games
with a four showing.
- [McKeehen] This game is
so silly.
- It's not silly.
It use, you need some
brain power here, bro.
- [Joe] Do you have any
extra you can donate Mike?
- Right now this is like,
- [Chris] Stop.
- Some real heavy
thinking here, man.
- [Joe] Do
you even think, bro?
- I feel like Alec has got,
Alec is capped right now.
Compared to Shaun.
(laughter)
- [Dentale] I already
know Shaun's hand,
by one thing.
And I'll wait till then
hand ends before I say it.
- [McKeehan] Can I bet that
you get it wrong, please?
- [Dentale] Alright,
how much you want to bet?
- [McKeehan] Can we bet $100?
- [Dentale] $25?
$25, alright.
- [Rep] I thought
you didn't bet?
- Now I do.
- [McKeehen] I'll bet a
quarter with you Mikey.
- [Porter] Then good news
is, it's a wine pot now.
- [Deeb] Oh, I forgot about
that.
- [Dentale] This
is the wine pot?
- [Porter] There's a $325 rake
all of a sudden.
- [Chris] Board pairs to
give Deeb a full house.
- [Dentale] This is
going to be a huge pot.
Just by that card.
- [Dentale] Huge.
- [Joe] Huge.
Actually, I'm not sure
how much bigger this pot gets.
Torelli is going to know he
could be drawing dead now.
Which he is.
- [Deeb] $4000
- [Joe] He is drawing
deader than Robert Kirkman.
That's the guy that,
okay you got that one.
- [Chris] Got it, yeah.
Tom Cannuli in between Torelli
and Dentale looks like he
might be turning as we speak.
- [Joe] Brains.
- No queen, jack I guess.
- [McKeehan] Hold
up, we got a bet on.
- No queen, jack for Alec.
- Are we betting on Shaun's
other card, right Mikey?
- Yeah, $25.
- What do you think it is?
- Come on.
- [Deeb] Was it
$325 Rep for the wine?
- [Porter] Yeah.
- $25, what card does he have?
- This is no good, Shaun's too
smart for this game.
- This is for the cameras,
Shaun had jack-balls.
- Here you go.
You can play them if you want.
- [Chris] Back at
Turning Stone Resort
on Poker Night in America.
He's Joe Stapleton,
I'm Chris Hanson.
There's wine at the table,
and we still don't
have any up here.
- [Joe] Just wait
till the next bad beat,
there's going to be lots
of wine at the table.
Waaa!
- [Chris] They're playing
one card up here recently,
and that's where we're at.
- [All] (talking at once)
- [McKeehan] I have the
biggest card right now.
They can fold to me,
I can just go all-in and
literately never get called.
- [Cannuli] What's that Mark?
- An eight and a deuce,
I'm missing hands.
- This is the only
card that's relevant.
Right here.
- [Cannuli] Oh, you have the
king.
- It's the only one that's
relevant, yeah.
- [Torelli] For
sure the hand of you
should come from the one up.
No limit hold'em.
- How much is it?
I'm not kidding.
- Like $20,000.
- [Cannuli] Seriously
how much is it?
- [Dentale] Oh, this is
going to be great (beep) TV.
Please record this.
- [Thomas] Oh yeah,
record It please.
- Slightly over 20, Tommy.
$20,225.
- I call.
- He has kings, bro.
You sick bastard.
- [Anthony] No he doesn't.
- [Dentale] Yes he does.
- [Torelli] It's on you.
- [Deeb] It's on you.
- Oh my God, he's
on and he calls.
I have sixes, I fold.
- I had the ace of
diamonds with it.
- What do you want to do?
- Run it twice,
show me your nine
and I'll believe it.
- Of course he has
nines, I mean I (bleep)--
- Run it twice, or?
- Yeah two times.
- Ok, twice.
- I think I'd call with
two nines there too.
- Wow, you really did it?
Alright, I'm not going--
- You made a good call.
- Maybe this is wrong
because I literately
only get called by pairs.
- [Joe] So we're
going to run it twice.
- We can both make
straights, that's fine.
- (chuckles)
- [Joe] Nines holding so far,
McKeehan picks up jacks is outs.
- [Deeb] You guys pay for the
other bottle of wine as well.
- The six works.
- Yeah we're fliping kid.
- [Dentale] There's
only one six left.
- That's one for you.
That's a good
river for me though.
- [Joe] So Tom Cannuli
wins the first run out,
if he wins the second
he scoops the whole pot.
- There's no aces
or kings out pre.
- [Torelli] No diamonds, yeah.
Should win this.
- [Joe] As an ace on that
flop, very likely Joe McKeehan
is going to win
this second run out,
and they're going
to chop this pot.
- There are nines left.
- There's one left.
- Nine.
- [Joe] No nine.
So they're going
to chop this up.
(laughter)
- What am I supposed
to do with this hand?
- I don't know.
- After I like,
play it like this.
(laughter)
- I limp in, like what am I
supposed to do?
- I just got in a 40K pot.
- [Chris] Both Cannuli and
McKeehan, members of the
November nine.
(table chatter)
- [Chris] As we said earlier
that's the,
I'm going to make a million
in a couple of month,
I call anyway.
- [Joe] At least a million.
- I have the worse
card on the table.
This is not relevant.
- It doesn't count
if you play a hand,
and you have the best card.
That's just taking
your advantage.
- [McKeehan]
Luckily, there's only
three more of these hands, guys.
- I'm just (bleep) money away.
- [Porter] What's
your card, Mike?
- Five.
- Thanks.
- [Deeb] Yeah Alec I think
you'll like stud a lot,
if you like this game.
- [Torelli] Really?
Isn't stud limit?
Limit is just so boring.
- [Joe] Nothing but limpers so
far.
Who's going to raise?
- [Torelli] I just don't have
the creativity kinda lacks
in it a little bit, right?
- [Joe] Oh, I know who.
- [Torelli] It's just kinda like
too mathematical
and not as creative for me.
- Raise.
- [McKeehan] This
game is so stupid.
- [Torelli] This is just
incredible.
- [Dentale] What's the bet?
- [All] $1000.
- [Dentale] The
whole orange one?
- He said raise it through
out a 1000 chip Mikey,
that's how poker works.
That means that's the bet.
Something you might
learn if you know,
you ever get above
one and a half.
- [Dentale] You know, not
for nothing, you might
get a tan from these lights.
- [McKeehan] Oh really?
I look white to me.
Maybe in November.
- It's not fun when
people play good pre-flop.
Then I can't see the flop.
- [Thomas] Yeah, we all
just want to see the flop.
- Yeah, there has
to be a cap pre-flop
otherwise this game is like.
- [Thomas] We said
there was a cap,
we said there should
have been a cap.
- [Dentale] You
want to see a flop?
I put my (bleep) and I put
$5000 in with this hand.
- [Thomas] You would not put
$5000 in with that hand, bro.
- [McKeehan] Tommy
berate him, please.
- [Thomas] They both
folded a king.
- [Dentale] That's
the winner boys.
- [Thomas] They both
folded a king.
- [Torelli] Oh
yeah, that's true.
When you see the king, yeah.
- [Thomas] I see two kings.
- [All] (talking at once)
- How's that, that's not better
for my hand.
- [Dentale] Think about it.
Look at his other card, I mean.
Yeah!
(laughing)
Yeah good fold.
I told ya kid,
you have the nuts.
No one has a king here.
No one has a set.
All in.
- Oh right now, that's--
- All in, it's all yours.
- Yeah, all in.
- It's all yours.
- Truely a sick game actually.
- [Joe] Yeah, this
whole one card up thing
adds a whole new
paint job to things.
- [McKeehen] I'd rather
play blind man's bluff
and just show both cards.
Not no mind.
- [Torelli] So awesome,
I really like this game.
- All in.
(laughter)
- [Joe] King, jack is the
only thing
Shaun is really worried about.
He knows he's very
likely to be able
to bluff Bart off this hand.
- Be great slow-roll if you
have jacks here.
- I know well I would have
played jacks the exact same way
too.
Too bad there was a dead jack.
- [Dentale] Especially when
you checked on the turn.
- On the flop?
- [Dentale] On the flop.
- [Chris] Alright, we're
going to take a quick break.
When we come back find out
what Bart Hanson's final
decision is, when we return.
- Do we seriously just
have a cliff hanger?
And one involving Chris'
brother, Bart Hanson?
- It's not my brother.
More Poker Night in
America when we come back.
Close captioning is brought
to you as a public service by
Poker Night in America.
- Welcome back to
Poker Night in America
from upstate New York, let's
get back to the action.
- [Chris] They're
playing one card up,
and Shaun Deeb has bet enough
to put Bart Hanson all in.
- This would be a great
slow-roll though.
I give him credit.
Like this is probably the
best game to slow roll.
- [Torelli] Oh yeah, when
the other guy's capped,
you know that you can slow roll.
- You just have jack high?
- [Joe] I really think
this could go either way.
More levels here than Inception.
I mostly think it's
going to be folds,
but maybe Bart snaps him off.
- I do not have a king.
- Alright, I call.
- You have ace, jack?
- Yeah.
- (bleep) I tried to
bluff you off that one.
- You have ace, nine, right?
- Yeah.
Nice hand.
- [Chris] Maybe Shaun Deeb
saying a tad too much.
- [Joe] I think Bart was
maybe going to call anyway.
But that sealed the deal.
- [Torelli] This is
a great game.
- [Chris] Even though Shaun
Deeb lost that hand,
I think he still likes the game.
- [Joe] So you're saying
Shaun Deeb likes changing
the rules to give
himself an advantage?
- [Chris] Ha.
- I wish I could
take credit for like,
planning out these
games I come up with,
but it's just the
discussion leads to it.
Some people in Vegas
always make jokes,
they're never going
to play a game
I invent for the
first three months.
They're just so afraid
that I'm a sharp mind,
that like I think I'm
good at that stuff,
but I'm not the best.
There's been versions
of a lot of these games
have been formed but,
something I've done
in Chinese poker is
we keep inventing it,
adding it to new games.
Keep mashing up games
together because
some people like this
version of the game,
some people like that,
so we bring the best
components of both,
we make a better game
that everyone likes.
- [Thomas] Rich, we suck.
- [Chris] Alright, lets stop
for the night and take a look
at who is the
winners and losers.
Well the people who are loosing
money are really doing well
at it, including Shaun Deeb.
- [Joe] Yeah, only
three losers in this game,
and one, two, three,
four, five, six winners.
They're probably pretty happy.
- [Chris] Yeah but Stapes it
looks like the only thing
that Shaun Deeb is doing
wrong right now is everything.
Because he's down almost 18K.
- [Joe] I think he's going
to have no problem climbing
his way out of that hole.
I guarantee you by the
time this secession is over
there's going to be a lot
more red arrows and if
his isn't green it's going to be
a much smaller number than that.
Next time we close things
out from Turning Stone.
But Joe McKeehan and Shaun
Deeb make sure we take it down
the home stretch in style.
Provided you consider give
away T-shirts to be style.

- [Dentale] Shaun had, this
is for the cameras,
Shaun had jack balls.
Okay.
- Jack balls?
Does that mean he had the jack?
His balls for it?
- He had four nothing.
That was all a bluff.
- I though you said you
know exactly what he had,
you gotta give me a card.
- His card is irrelevant,
he had,
I feel he did not have,
he had like four or five.
What are you saying?
- I was going to agree with you.
- Oh, so now got (bleep).
He didn't have four, jack.
He had four, (bleep)
