- (Voiceover) From
the Golden Nugget
in Atlantic City, New Jersey,
this is Poker Night in America.
(lively jazz music)
- (Hanson) Welcome to
Poker Night in America.
I'm your host, Chris Hanson.
Our cash game being held
at The Golden Nugget
in Atlantic City
continues into the night,
and we're reaching the
point where endurance
becomes as much a part
of the game as skill.
Let's check in with
our players and see
who's running sprints,
and who's going the mile.
We continue our
second day of cash
here at Golden Nugget
in Atlantic City
with a couple new players.
Not new to Poker Night
in American though
are joining us:
Travell Thomas and
Ken "Teach" Aldridge
now taken a spot
in our cash game.
- (Kenney) Well,
coming from Shaun,
it's definitely
not a compliment.
- (Shak) He didn't mean
it that way, but it was.
- (Kenney) Well what was it?
- (McLoughlin) I'm not saying.
- (Kenney) Oh, come on!
Shaun, if you can say it once,
you have to have the (bleep)
to say it a second time.
- (Deeb) I'm trying to think
exactly how I worded it.
A lot of people have (bleep)
quickly with you.
Or something along those
lines.
- Somebody said something
about quick, you said
a lot of people are with
Ebony.
- Yeah, well I mean,
it is poker players, right?
These are guys that
probably (bleep),
so, I just need them
to show up, right?
Don't really need to do
anything.
- (Stout)
Let's hope this hand
doesn't make the broadcast.
(laughter)
Just fold Steve.
(laughter)
- I'm taking one for
the game, trust me.
(laughter)
- Oh god Teach.
(crosstalk)
- (Stout) This is going to
be the most interesting hand
of the entire session now.
- (Kenney) Wonderful.
- There hasn't been really
anything cool that went down
yet.
- (Shak) Don't worry, It'll
just start with the raise
and the call.
(laughter)
- (Kenney) They want
no part of that.
- (Shak) I promise you.
- We could bleep you out,
but we're not putting
that one in.
- (Hanson) Alright, so a little
something for both players,
Aldridge with top pair
and McLoughlin with
the flush draw.
- (Deeb) And the
hand's going to be shown.
(laughter)
- (Thomas) Yes it is.
- (Hanson) A couple of
interesting quirks between
these two when they're
at the poker table.
Steven McLoughlin will
always have a scarf,
and Teach Aldridge will
always be wearing yellow.
Easy to pick them out that way.
Of course, another
statistic between these two
is they will usually be
winning at the poker table
when you see them.
- We're gonna find out
if the Teach
is doing the schooling
or getting schooled.
- (Patterson) Ooh..
- (Aldridge) Fifteen.
- (Hanson) Well, Teach is
doing the schooling right now.
1500, the bet back
to McLoughlin.
- (Stout) You can see
Dan writing things down
at three o'clock in the morning
trying to fiture
out what lines to use
on all the players at
the table.
- (Shak) I knew
Teach was playing.
- (Hanson) Well a brick for
McLoughlin on the river.
And here's Teach's opportunity
to win with a weak Ace.
- So whatcha got?
- Ace.
- Turn it over.
- (Hanson) And he checks
and will win with Ace five.
- (Kenney) Wow.
- (Thomas) I did
not see that top pair,
it's hard to get top pair.
- (Kenney) Hey, hey, hey!
- It's hard to get top pair.
- Well that's making
the broadcast.
- (Deeb) Stout, you're
wearing an orange chip
to make your set look
more diminishing?
- (Hanson) This is Matt
Stout in seat 1.
- (Stout) God, I hate you
so much Shaun Deeb.
(laughter)
- (Hanson) Travell Thomas
will play pocket fives.
- (Deeb) I'll give you
an orange and a purple,
but I don't think you
have enough chips for it.
- You're such a sweetheart.
- (Deeb) Stout's one of my
favorite people.
We didn't even know,
we're very good friends
and we lived in the same
city for like nine months.
And we didn't get to hang out,
found out as I was
leaving there.
- (Stout) Yep.
- (Stout) It was fine,
because there was so much
for me to do in
Jacksonville by myself
and my fiance was studying
like 23 hours a day.
- We wouldn't have done
anything fun.
- (Patterson) Where was it?
- (Stout)
Jacksonville, Florida.
- (Patterson) Oh wow. I
like that.
- You're the only person.
- (Patterson) I think it's a
cool city. I was surprised.
- You think it's a cool city?
- (Patterson) Yeah I was
surprised about
how cool it was.
I was only there for
a little bit.
- I guess I can't fold to
this action.
- (Patterson) There's a lot
of water, and I don't know,
it's just pretty.
- There's a lot of water?
- (Thomas) Guys I want the
flop to be ace, five, deuce.
Ace, five, deuce.
- (Hanson) Well we've got
quite a bit of action
that is developed here.
All these players
are in for $500.
- (Thomas) Got all three wrong.
- That's pretty terrible.
- Yeah, I know.
(laughter)
- (Hanson) I think all
five of these players
love that flop.
If you've got deuces,
fives, or sevens,
you're thinking, okay,
that's a pretty good flop.
Ebony Kenney's got
the flush draw,
Dan Shak's got an over pair.
But Dan Shak is going to
be the first one to bet
and try to take the pot down.
Ebony not going anywhere.
- I'm all in.
- I call.
- (Shak) Set?
- No.
- (Shak) Okay.
- (Kenney) Once or twice.
- Twice I guess?
What do you got?
- Flush draw.
- (Shak) Okay.
(laughter)
- Let's see the hands.
- (Hanson) Almost $13,000 going
to the winner of this pot.
They will be running it twice.
Ebony Kenney in a great
spot here, actually,
statistically, she's ahead,
going to the turn and river.
She misses the first turn,
and misses the river, and
so now Ebony's going
to have to find
either a spade,
an ace, or a queen
on the second run
to chop this pot.
(laughter)
- (Thomas) Jesus, can you
really miss twice?
- Yeah. But I won't.
- (Shak) There you go.
(laughter)
- (Hanson) And she hits
the spade on the river
to save the pot.
Dan Shak was that
close to scooping
a $13,000 winner.
Coming up next, more
action from the felt,
and, later on, it's
Poker Night at the movies
with Ebony Kenney, Richard
Roeper and James Woods.
(Keeney) I love it,
it's so over the top.
Poker Night in America is being
brought to you by 888poker.com. 
Where the world plays online.
- (Hanson) Welcome back to
Poker Night in America,
we return to the Golden
Nugget in Atlantic City.
Poker Night in America
brought to you by 888poker
where the world plays online.
Back to Golden Nugget,
Atlantic City, New Jersey.
- Really?
That's what you think?
- (Thomas) That's what
the word on the street is.
- (Kenney) The word
on the street?
Must be some busy conversations.
(laughter)
- Maybe you don't stay in
your lane enough.
- I guess not.
I'm veering.
I heard before that "Oh, no
no no, she (bleep),
you guys stay away from that".
- No they just said
stay away from you,
it had nothing to do with
the guys you were dating.
(laughter)
- (Kenney) Yeah, the
one's that are saying that
are still waiting in line.
- (Thomas) Come on think of
something quick. Come on, come
on.
- No, I don't want
to go further.
I have so much to go with.
(laughter)
- You gotta have a quicker
come back.
- This hand's definitely gonna
be aired so I don't want to.
(laughter)
- (Kenney) He's trying to figure
out how much I can handle.
- As you're playing a hand,
you're like what is the
chance this is gonna get
aired, ok this is very likely.
Alright, don't want to really
just like comment it
and then cut on the conversation
I'm just saying that to her.
That seems totally out of
context.
So like everyone hates me.
- (Kenney) Everyone hates you
anyway.
- (Hanson) A set of deuces
for Deeb.
- (Stout) Shaun's like, oh
yeah I'm in a pot.
I forgot about that.
- (Hanson) Everybody checks,
so we're going to the turn.
Check for Patterson, a
bet here from Shaun Deeb
would more than likely
lose Steven McLoughlin.
950 the bet, and
McLoughlin will fold.
Now back to Patterson,
interesting,
still with an over
pair of the board,
knowing that Shaun Deeb
is capable of betting
nearly anything,
will make the call.
- All in.
- (Hanson) And all the money
goes in from Shaun Deeb.
- Wish I would have check raised
the turn. You got it.
- You wanna check raise
the turn?
We'll give you a new
river card.
- Oh wow, not good huh?
- (Thomas) Show one.
- (Deeb) No.
He knows I had him.
- (Hanson) Young Mr. Patterson,
we can tell you,
you made the correct fold.
We continue our 25/50 cash
game here in Atlantic City,
Golden Nugget.
Travell Thomas
calls with sixes.
- (Thomas) See if you would
of called, we could of
called it 300.
- (Hanson) McLoughlin
has pumped it up to 500.
- I wanted to see it
for cheap.
- (Hanson) Circling back around
to Shaun Deeb.
- How much you playing?
- (Hanson) I've seen
Deeb play for stacks
with much less than ace king.
- All in.
- I call.
- (Thomas) Whoa.
- (Hanson) And just like that,
we've got a $21,000 pot.
(laughter)
- Can we do this twice, I
have a really bad hand.
- How bad is it?
On a scale of one to ten?
- Seven?
- (McLoughlin) Can you show it?
- It's 8 high.
- Can you show it?
- (Patterson) I love that
you have your 8/7 suited.
- (Deeb) How good is your hand?
- It's good enough for me to
call your all in.
- Can you show me
your hand first and
I'll decide if I want to
show my hand.
- I'll show you one card.
- Okay.
- Then you show me the
other card.
Let me see the other one.
You said 8 high, you're so
full of (bleep).
- Let me see your other one.
- Let's switch.
You can turn over mine,
I'll turn over yours.
- (Deeb) Okay.
- So brutal.
(laughter)
- How does he wake up with aces.
- (Deeb) How did you not
slow roll me?
- (McLoughlin) Cause it's so
much fun to not slow roll you.
- Is this twice or once?
- We didn't say.
- Once then.
(laughter)
- (Thomas) Can't even have
an ace of spade for a good
sweat.
- Man, I'm so proud of
myself when you re-raised.
- (Hanson) So Steven
McLoughlin, the godfather to
Shaun Deeb's only child,
takes a $21,000 pot with aces.
- Sweet, sweet Shaun Deeb money.
- You just bought in five,
just reloaded?
- (McLoughlin) Yup!
Good timing.
- (Thomas) Great timing.
- (Deeb) Adding ten.
- It's ok, some of this is gonna
back to your kid, you know that.
I'm gonna to have to
buy him something nice now.
(laughter)
- I'm glad you limped cause
then it made me limp.
Cause I would have raised.
- (Deeb) It's fun to win the
biggest pot of your life, right?
(laughter)
- (McLoughlin) Biggest
pot in my life?
Ah, biggest por in my life...
- (Hanson) Shaun Deebis going
to make it 150.
- Is it, it might be.
- I would assume so.
- Not the biggest winning
session.
- No, it's not over yet.
- I mean I don't normally play
25/50 that's for sure.
- (Deeb) Oh you limped
this hand.
(laughter)
- I didn't see that limp.
How much is that?
(laughter)
- I wish I was setting up a good
slow roll here but I'm not.
- Wow, now he's really setting
up a good slow roll.
- (Kenney) It's the best slow
roll ever.
- (Hanson) Shaun Deeb's
got fresh chips.
- Well here's the good
news for you.
- (Shak) You're steaming.
- (Deeb) Well that
definitely is true.
I have like 900 extras, I
can't buy int for this ten.
If I call I can just put
it all on the table.
- (Hanson) I would say
there has to be a call coming.
- Or else I have to put chips
in pocket.
- How badly do you
want me to gamble?
- (Stout) He's taken enough from
me, put it in.
- Ok.
(laughter)
- Run it once.
- (McLoughlin) How big was it?
- (Kenney) 1,350.
- (Stout) 1,350.
(laughter)
- (Deeb) Very confident. I'm
going to start stacking it.
- You might as well.
(laughter)
Ship the money. Send
it over here buddy.
- I thought we were
on the same team?
- You play well.
- (Deeb) I wish it was suited.
- Why would I buy in for more
when I can get you to put
1,350 in with 10/9 off.
- (Voiceover) Draft Kings.
The official
fantasy sports site
of Poker Night in America.
- I thought you
didn't see the limp too.
- I would never make a 150.
- (Stout) I wasn't sure.
- (Deeb) I either go min or 200.
It's just like the perfect
seat to not see it.
- (Stout) As soon as you grabbed
chips I was like, wow this is
gonna to be really weird if
he min raises after that.
And say how stupid do
you think I am.
And I'm going to limp, jam
ace jack over it the
next hand as I'm saying it.
- (Hanson) Matt Stout still
enjoying the basic courtesy
double-up he got
from Shaun Deeb
before we went to break.
- I'm glad I limped
both of those hands now
but for very different reasons.
(laughter)
- (Thomas) About to be my first
TV losing session right here.
- (Kenney) It's not over yet.
- (Patterson) We got a long
time.
- You gotta think positive.
- I just want to beat him.
He owned me with those 6's.
- (Kenney) You want to beat
Teach? Are you serious?
- (Stout) Look at his face.
How can you want
to beat that guy?
- (Deeb) Because
he's so happy he won.
I would want to beat him.
- He's like the jolliest person
in poker.
Why would you want to beat him?
- No that's Ice Man.
- (Thomas) You always got to
pick one person at the table
to go after.
- Do you?
(laughter)
- I always pick one person at
the table to hate.
- (Stout) It used to be me
right?
- Yeah.
(laughter)
- Then I realized I was sitting
here with Matt.
- (Stout) And then one day we
were talking (bleep) to
each other and we were like,
you know
I think I kinda like that
guy.
Both of us did it at the
same time.
- (Thomas) You really
don't like a person
when you don't know them,
but then you meet
them and you're like,
alright, you're cool.
(laughter)
- It's like, "God,
that guy's face tilts me".
Two sessions later you're like,
"Yes! I get to play
with this guy again!"
Like what happend.
- (Thomas) I did say that
guy always has all my
damn chips in the
tournament. Tilts me.
- Oh that's why you hated
me at first.
- It tilts me.
- We had someone at Borgata
a year and a half ago,
on day two
sit down, at Volpe's table,
I was sitting with them,
but this guy sits down
like 45 minutes late,
Volpe has all the chips.
He just immediately
decides to berate him,
threatening his life.
Like, "I'm going to
kill you,
do you want to
take this outside?"
And Paul's like, what
the hell is going on?
- (Thomas) It's funnt when
people at the poker table
say "Let's take it
outside."
- The guy was flashing his
pocket knife.
It was crazy.
- (Stout) That's when
they've got to kick him out.
- They ended
up kicking him out.
He was like--
- (Stout) Why
didn't you slow roll?
Why'd you flip your
hand over so quickly?
- (Patterson) I didn't
necessarily win yet.
- (Stout) When
it was clearly good?
He at least thinks about
raising better hands.
- Can I have the
1200 or...?
( laughter)
- (Stout) Tyler I'm
very disappointed in you.
(laughter)
I'm keeping this hundred
because you didn't slow roll.
- I'm almost ok with that.
I'm disappointed, too.
- (Kenney) Ironically
enough, Stevie Wonder
is my new favorite old artist.
- (McLoughlin) I
just saw him live.
- Are you serious?
- (McLoughlin) In Vegas,
incredible.
- He is spectacular.
My sister just had my
nephew nine weeks ago,
and now every time I see him,
we have a song.
It's a Stevie Wonder song.
(laughter)
- I straddled every time
and I just
for one time wanted
to fold a bad hand.
- If you'd gothis name right
he might have kept straddling.
- When you call me
Dan I'll straddle again.
(laughter)
- But he's probably top
five ever,
like best there ever
is or ever will be.
- (McLoughlin) I actually never
thought he would be that
good live. Cause the
albums are so
good it's hard to reproduce.
- (Kenney) Right.
- He lived up to it.
He performed the entire songs
in the Key of Life.
He was great.
- (Kenney) I think with
someone like Stevie Wonder,
there's like this element
of unbridled passion
when they perform.
- (Patterson) All in.
- (Deeb) Call.
- (Hanson) And here we go.
- (Thomas) I had six, seven
of spades. Watch me win.
- (McLoughlin) Once or twice?
- (Hanson) There are many things
that Shaun Deeb is good at
and one of them is
handling swings.
Let's see if he
can "swing" back
against Patterson here.
He picks up a straight draw,
going to the river
but cannot hit it,
and look at this, Patterson
back to back monsters.
Off of Shaun Deeb.
- (Stout) At least you
can beat me, Shaun.
Even that's not true anymore.
- (Thomas) I knew my 6/7
of spades was the nuts.
- (Hanson) We're going to
finish there for the night
here from Atlantic
City, Golden Nugget,
and Shuan Deeb, things
were going great
when we got the night started,
now he's got some
more work to do.
He's down $21,000
and you can draw
a direct line from
Deeb's stack
to that of the
winners here tonight:
Steven McLoughlin, Dan
Shak, and Tyler Patterson.
When we come back on
Poker Night in America
it's Poker Night At the Movies.
- It's a beautifully
nuanced scene.
Poker Night in America is being
brought to you by 888poker.com. 
Where the world plays online.
- For tonight's
movie scene review,
we return to the Citizen
Kane of poker films,
the 1998 drama "Rounders",
starring Matt Damon
and Edward Norton.
Damon's character, Mike,
was once referred to by
Phil Laak as a mystic,
matrix level four wizard.
In tonight's scene he
shows off those Jedi powers
when he pays a visit
to the judge's game.
This is Poker NIght
At the Movies.
- You're sure this is wise Abe?
It's your money the
kid's betting with.
- That's plenty wise.
We know what
we're holding and we
know what you're holding.
- When you come with
a group of friends,
and you're used to just playing
with a group of friends,
you're not ever thinking that
anybody's reading you, right?
So when you have an
outsider coming in
that's just able to read
everyone right of the bat,
that's what he did.
Literally. he was just like,
"Listen. Everything
you're doing is face up,
but you guys are
just so involved
in what you're doing right now,
you're just enjoying,
and you're not realizing
this is something that,
"Hey, if I had half a brain
I could pick you out".
(snaps fingers)
- (Roeper) He's seeing
these 50, 60, 70-year-old men,
they're having more
fun playing poker
than what they're
doing for a living,
and they're at the top
of their profession,
thinking to themselves, "I could
probably be a great lawyer"
or "I probably could
be a great judge",
"I got to follow my passion",
and he can't help
himslef in terms of
"I've gotta say what
everybody's hand is",
but they have enough
discipline to say
"I've got to get out
of here right now".
It's a beautifully
nuanced scene.
- Amateurs really only
play their own cards.
"Oh, I've got aces, I
must have the best hand".
And it never dawns
on them,
"Hello, the board's
very coordinated,
that Pro just had 18 outs,
and all of a sudden they're
betting in to you.
Does that tell you something?
Or they check-raise to you.
Maybe they had a
hand, you know?
I see that all the
time in tournaments.
People get aces and they
live and die by them.
- They get married to them.
The live and die by them.
- I always like to say
that people who have what
is perceived to them as
big hands trap themselves.
And they don't even
realize it.
And it's that kind of
a situation like,
Hey, guess, what, checked them
and gave them the free river,
and now you've trapped
yourself unbeknownst to you.
Well let's review
the judges' scene.
Let's give it our rating.
Ebony, we'll start
with the poker player,
what do you think?
- I love it, it's
so over the top.
I give it a ten out of ten.
It's a royal, and that's it.
- Okay. Richard?
- I'll give it
"hoyal", actually,
because everything goes back
to "according to hoyal"--
- You just said you
gave it a royal?
- She's giving it a royal,
I'm giving it a "hoyal".
Cause everything kina goes
back to like the,
this is the foundation.
So I give it a hoyal.
- Alright. James?
- Oh, I give it a royal because
it accomplishes so much.
The writing is just wonderful,
the acting is wonderful,
I love Matt Damon as an
actor, Martin Landau,
I mean, it's just a
beautifully directed by--
I think John Dahl directed
it, yeah, I know he did--
and, boy, I hope
there's a "Rounders 2".
(crosstalk)
- It's been around for like
ten years. I want to be in it.
If there's a
"Rounders 2" please--
- Koppelman, where are you?

you to put in 1,350 in wiht
