- Las Vegas' hottest
club is Golden Nugget,
located somewhere between
Tiesto's after after-party
and Madame Tussaud's
silent disco.
Golden Nugget has everything,
an adult male who does tanning,
three guys who wish
they were Mike Pence.
Props, prop bets, and
a man asleep in a chair
the entire night.
- Not live from Las Vegas,
- Not live from Las Vegas,
- It's Poker Night in America.
- It's Poker Night in America.
(jazz music)
- [Chris] Later
on in the episode,
part two of our in-depth
interview with Richard Roeper,
but first, the poker.
Continuing day two
here at Golden Nugget,
and so far our biggest
winner at the table
has been Jim Carroll,
up 6,800 Stapes,
but down about 14
props out of his bag.
- [Joe] Great to see that
Craig Casino's reloaded,
didn't want to have to give
his seat up to Polly Pitboss
or Vinny Valet.
- Might've been been two
because they're paired to--
- [Carroll] This hand?
- [Chris] Blinds are $25 and $50
on Poker Night in America.
- Poor play.
- $250 or how much?
- [Chris] Seat three
belongs to Stan Jablonski,
five, six of diamonds.
Jablonski calls, Jared
Jaffey will fold.
- [Steve] Orosco folds.
- It would've been hard
to put you on the four,
my thinking.
- Yeah, that was a dry board.
- 200.
- Friendly, friendly pot.
- [Joe] Just a $200
raise, real friendly.
- [Chris] Eight, nine deuce.
- [Joe] Tough pair for
Roeper, up and down
for Brandon Cantu.
Not much else going on.
A gut shot for Jablonski,
which would be no good.
- [Chris] 500 from
Cantu is the bet.
- I'm sorry everybody,
I gave him weapons.
- [Joe] Roeper should
probably just rip it in here.
He's only got like 1,500
behind after making this call.
- [Chris] Cantu makes
the straight on the turn.
- [Joe] Bad news for Roeper.
Roeper with a zero percent
chance to win the hand outright.
- Time for a little break.
- [Chris] Jack would chop this.
- [Joe] And we are gonna
lose the movie critic.
Something, should be he
watching, Ben Affleck
will be really happy about.
All right Richard,
we'll be seeing you
at the movies.
- [Chris] Please tap the guy
who's sleeping on your way out.
- [Joe] No, don't bother him.
- Two big ones in a row!
- [Chris] Uh oh,
look who's here?
Ladies and gentlemen,
straight out of New York,
Mike Dentale joins
us at the table.
- [Joe] Welcome Mike Dentale.
He's like if New
Jersey was a person.
- [Chris] Chips are out,
guns are out, I guess?
- I wouldn't expect
anything less.
- I mean, for me, I understand
the whole concept so--
- [Joe] Where's
his upper arm hair?
- [Chris] You have
upper arm hair?
- [Joe] I have upper
everything hair.
- [Chris] All right,
Jim Carroll is, I guess,
playing this hand blind.
We know he's got a king.
- I hope it's just
me and Brandon,
'cause it's like a sure thing.
- It's like pretty sure.
Party pooper.
- Jaffee, when you raised,
you were like, "Yeah, buddy!"
- [Chris] Deuce nine, five.
- [Joe] Top pair for Cantu.
- I knew he had a hand.
I was just hoping it wasn't...
I mean it's gotta be
set or a better straight
if he's got a hand.
- All right, give me a nine.
- [Chris] It's
time for Jim to go.
- I thought for sure
on that six, three.
- [Brandon] How's six, three
gonna win any straight?
- [Joe] Looks like
Jaffee thinks ace, king
can be the best hand sometimes.
Cantu continues to get hit
in the fact with the deck.
Maybe he got hit in the arm
and that's why it's broken.
Cantu just keeps on firing.
He figures whatever Jaffee
called the flop with,
he can also call turn with.
And he continues to peel light.
- 2,000.
- [Joe] Cantu bets 2,000 dark.
Now look, I'm not poker
genius, but it doesn't take
a genius to realize that
maybe Jaffee should choose
one of the other guys
to call down ace, queen
and not the dude who's won
multiple bracelets and 10k's.
But nope.
- [Chris] Wow.
8,300 in that pot
for Brandon Cantu.
Poker Night in America, brought
to you by Kimo Sabe Mezcal.
- Was that just a
limp down there, Mike?
- You know that I didn't
even realize that, yeah.
- Well I'mma do it to then.
- He thought it was his big one.
- Oh, he thought his big block.
- No, I didn't think
it was a big one,
but I just realized I was..
I dunno how to
explain it correctly.
- [Brandon] I thought we
were playing five tanning.
- [Joe] I can explain it.
You made a mistake.
- [Chris] Oh no, is there like
a sleeping epidemic going on?
We already lost one
person in the room today.
- What you looking at me for?
That's me!
You know whenever they say
that it's definitely not me?
- [Chris] Now, that
is Jerrod Jaffee,
but everybody checks.
Now Dentali turns a boat.
- That's me too.
- [Joe] How fortunate was that?
Dentali bet 200, Casino
called with his two 6's,
Jaffee makes it 900.
In this spot, I like a call
as smooth as Mike's arms.
- 2,300.
- [Joe] But no.
The reason I like a call
there is because Jerrod
has a four; he's gonna
keep betting on the river.
If he doesn't, he's
gonna fold to this raise.
So when you raise him here,
you're actually giving
him a chance to fold.
- [Chris] So we will to the
river with these two players,
over $5,000 now in the pot.
It's a deuce.
Action is on Jerrod Jaffee.
- Check.
- [Joe] The insta-shove
from Dentale,
and I think Jaffee gives
reasonable consideration
to a fold here.
Four is only a bluff,
Mike's probably not three
betting the turn with king,
seven, or at worst, four.
- You know when I snap
all in like that I have it,
I didn't do the
five minute tank.
- Well I'll tell you what Mike--
- I didn't, you know--
- I'll tell you what, Mike.
- I didn't give any antics.
- I'll tell you what Mike.
- I played you like a gentlemen.
- I hope that you
don't have kings,
because if you have
kings, then you played
the hand pretty scummy.
- How'd I play the hand scummy?
- [Joe] Define scummy,
I saw no scummy.
This is like if New
Jersey was a conversation.
- No rush.
- I have nowhere to be.
- I was doing the right
thing and you come out
with that dumb comment.
You're amazing, man.
- [Chris] In unrelated
news, they kicked out
the guy who was
sleeping on the chair.
Either that or he found
a more comfortable chair.
(Joe laughs)
- [Joe] He just needs to
recharge the batteries.
- You make a dumb comment, I
snapped all in to obviously--
- What does that mean!?
Mike, I don't care.
- Is that playing
the hand scummy?
- No, I said if you
had kings it was.
And it was.
He made like you
accidentally wimp.
So if he was accidentally
wimping and made like
a deal about how
he's accidentally
wimping when you have
like kings or aces, that
would've been scummy.
That's what I'm saying.
He like put out 50--
- Why?
- [Mike] What do you mean?
- I completely
disagree with you.
- [Mike] That's an angle!
- Oh stop.
- Are you serious?
- No, it's not an angle.
- Are you kidding?
- You're so sensitive, man.
- Not to be scummy,
but we have to take
a commercial break, Joseph.
- How dare you?
Welcome back to the desert
here at The Golden Nugget.
- I'd also like to
wish the Golden Nugget
a belated 70th birthday.

- Was supposed to go
to Area 51 tomorrow.
- [Joe] Oh, Area 51 is so out.
Area 52 is the spot now.
- [Chris] Weren't they
watering down their drinks
at Area 51, is
that what happened?
- [Joe] It was impossible
to get drunk there.
- [Chris] Did somebody
form a book club
while we were away?
I mean seriously,
what are we reading?
- [Joe] People doing
their taxes back there.
- [Chris] Jaffee raises a
625 with a ten of spades.
Casino calls.
Flop is king, seven,
three, with clubs.
We've got major poker
being played here gals,
let's go!
675 the bet.
Casino's not going anywhere.
- [Joe] No, in fact he's gonna
do something worse than that.
I have no idea what I'm
repping, but I'm raising raise.
- [Chris] Well maybe it's
the right thing, if he folds.
- [Joe] Yeah, he's not folding.
- 5,000.
- [Dealer] 5,000?
- [Joe] Thing is, Casino
could be repping two
very specific hands.
Sevens and threes, and usually
if you have those hands
you don't raise,
'cause you don't want
to scare off your customer.
So it's time for Craig
Casino to make like
Franky Fold and fold.
- [Chris] Casino
mulling it over.
When the mulling is done,
you should be folding.
- [Joe] First comes the
mulling, then comes the folding.
And goodbye.
- Dude that's like
pennies to him.
I mean obviously he
spent almost a million
in one session.
- Who!?
- Him and Ben would start...
I had a piece of Ben
when he was losing
in that game like a month ago.
- 340.
Or 350, whatever it is.
- You're talking about Andy!?
The kid, the young kid, Andy!?
He has that much money?
- Doctor.
- [Jerrod] Doctor Andy, yeah.
- He's got more than that.
- He's got a lot of money.
- Wow, a million dollars on
a cash-in, that's insane.
- In one session!
Just one session.
- Him, Leer.
- Well he gets to go bragging,
he won that tournament.
You cannot be out with
aces against kings,
that's just not cool.
- [Joe] Doctor loses a million
dollars in a cash game.
I guess it was a pretty
good day for big phrama
the next day.
And you get a prescription,
and you get a prescription.
You get six prescriptions!
- [Chris] And the man
that they call legend
makes it 1,150.
- [Joe] Legendary raise.
- I remember I asked Andy--
- What'd you think I
had that hand, Mike?
- I thought you had ace, king,
with the ace of diamonds.
- Golly!
- Is that what you had?
- [Joe] Just go
pondering his four's.
- I finally looked
down at something good.
- [Joe] He would be dominated
a fair percentage of the time.
- Really, you had
three kings there?
- [Joe] Chucks it.
- Had three kings on the turn.
- Really, I'm gonna
see this later, Stan.
- [Stan] Of course, I know that.
I already told you.
- [Joe] Cantu folds
a similar hand.
- [Chris] And now the worst
hand is gonna call it,
I assume.
- [Joe] Yeah, this is a
good raise from Casino.
Manages to gets folds from
everybody, except the guy
he's got dominated.
This is some textbook
pre-flop raising.
- [Chris] The flop brought
to you by Kimo Sabe Mezcal.
It's jack, eight, jack.
- [Joe] If I was Kimo
Sabe, I would not want
my name on all of
these suck out flops.
- [Jerrod] He's a chiropractor.
- [Mike] Really?
- [Jerrod] Not a real doctor.
- [Kyle] I thought
he was a doctor.
- I thought he made his
money from being a doctor--
- [Chris] 1,400,
the bet from Casino,
and we know go to Jim
Carroll acting school.
- [Mike] Chiropractors
make big money?
- [Jerrod] I think he's
got a bunch of chains
up there, didn't he?
- [Stan] He had
a couple clinics.
I think he sold
one of 'em, though.
Think now he only has the one.
I think.
- [Jerrod] I've seen
guys lose big money
on sheets, bro.
- [Stan] These are
not sheet money.
No, not these.
- [Joe] Like the
flat call there.
- [Chris] 5,800 in the middle,
let's go to the turn.
Ace.
- [Joe] You are not gonna
here this very often
in Las Vegas, but that
is a very, very bad card
for the Casino, and it's a
great card for Carroll to bet.
- [Mike] 50,000, which
isn't big to your standards,
in my game--
- I'm all in.
- [Joe] Oh boy!
- [Jerrod] There's
always a risk--
- [Joe] Carroll should
be snapping faster
than my dad when someone
touches the thermostat.
- I'll got 1,500 in
first, if you don't mind.
- [Joe] He's doing like
seven to one on trip jacks,
and there's no more
reason to be deceptive.
Time to make like
a tree and call.
- [Chris] Come on
Carroll, let's go!
- I call.
- [Joe] There's the call,
Casino drawing nearly dead.
- Is he drawing dead?
- [Joe] Nearly dead, I said!
- Yeah, he is.
- Ace. Ace works.
- He's drawing with ace.
He's drawn to an ace.
- [Chris] River!
- Nice hand.
- [Chris] not good for Casino
and Jim Carroll, a monster.
Almost $12,000
- We get it all in the
river no matter what.
- [Joe] And I think
it might be time
to release Casino back
into his natural habitat.
The casino.
- The Casino is taking
a beating tonight.
See if Craig can turn it
around when we come back.
With Joe Stapleton,
it's Chris Hanson
On Poker Night in America.
- [Joe] Let's pick
up the action.
And Cantu missing for a moment.
Hope he's all right.
- [Chris] He's already
got a broken arm,
how much worse can things get?
- [Joe] and Craig Casino's back.
He must've got a loan
from Billy Banker.
Can you imagine being
introduced to Craig Casino?
Excuse me, this is my
friend, Mr. Casino.
- [Chris] It is very Chris
Moneymaker-esque, isn't it?
- [Joe] Yes.
- [Chris] On another related
note, how terrible is it
to always have to say, "Yes,
that is my real last name.
"Yes, it's my real name."
- [Joe] Just wear your driver's
license taped to your chest?
- Sleazy, Mario.
- No, it's like lottery.
- [Chris] Flop's
eight, three, three.
- [Joe] So Casino flops
top pair in a situation
where he is facing an over pair.
I never thought I'd
say this before,
but I feel bad for the Casino.
Man, I would hate for
him to have to go visit
his friend Larry Loanshark.
- 850.
- I call.
- I'm all in.
- [Mike] All in!?
- [Chris] It's almost
like Casino's playing
with house money here.
(Joe chuckles)
- [Dealer] 3,100 total.
- I call.
- Call!
- I got two jacks.
- [Joe] Casino, a
big dog in this hand.
- That's the way
it's been going...
- [Chris] Queen on the turn.
And here comes the river.
- [Joe] Does not
quite get there.
- That's fitting, nice
playing with you guys.
- 10's and eights cannot
beat jacks and three's.
- [Chris] Just a
reminder, you can win
And there he is.
When it's late at night
and a player busts out,
Matt Glantz is soon to be found.
- 650...
That's big money, buddy.
- [Joe] Wow, 650!?
That sizing is big.
That's the kind of sizing
that, in general's only
gonna get you action
when you're in bad shape.
- Everyone has a set of
pre-flops, that's crazy.
At least when I have a
decision, it's something
I've already put money on.
- I'm with you on that one.
- Do we get free cheeseburgers?
- [Chris] Wow, Cantu
calls with queens.
- Stan, you bluffed me, man.
I had king, eight.
- [Chris] Heads up.
- [Mike] I got
eight (bleep) deuce.
- [Chris] Flop is
eight, six, eight.
- 22 here.
- [Dealer] 2,200 is the bet.
- [Joe] Oh, this is a
terrible flop for Orozco.
He fires out another bet
that screams, "I have jacks
"and I hate them!
"Please don't raise or call me!"
- What's the score of the
Warriors game right now?
You steamed up or what?
- [Craig] It's a one point game.
- I got it this time.
I'll let you pick one.
- Can I turn it over now?
Can I turn it over
now and pick one?
- Only if you do it
with your right hand.
- [Joe] Wow, before he was
playing his hand face up,
now his hand is
literally face up.
- [Chris] Oh my.
- 4,400.
- Raising.
- [Joe] So Brandon,
insta-raises him.
- I hate seeing
(bleep) like this, man.
- Is that big enough?
It's big enough now, Brandon.
Is it big enough?
Let's take two.
I don't really want to
go home to you stuck.
- [Chris] He wants you stuck
like there's no tomorrow,
I hate to tell you this.
- [Joe] Not even an over
card, which at this point,
I would consider that to
be a good card for Orozco.
- All in.
- [Craig] All in.
- [Joe] I think he's leveled
himself by showing his hand,
and he calls!
- I had queens.
- Oh my God!
- Nice hand.
- [Joe] This is ugly.
Bad news kiddo, you're not
getting the Gucchi bag,
but have you ever
heard of Trader Joe's?
- [Chris] Oh my goodness.
What a monster.
A $30,000 pot.
And Brandon Cantu is the
hero of day number two,
with a $21,000 profit.
- [Joe] And somehow we're
in Vegas, and the Casino
is the big loser.
Now I've seen everything.
What's next?
A guy named Olive Garden
who can actually cook?
- Coming up next, it's
part two of Face Up
with Richard Roeper.
- Shouldn't that
really be thumbs up?
Welcome back to Poker
Night in America.
Stapes, what are you doing?
- Trying to think of a
good, "At the Movies" joke
to intro this feature,
since it's Faced Up
with Richard Roeper,
what do you think?
Thumbs up, thumbs down?
- I think doing a thumbs up
joke about Richard Roeper
is about as cliche
as you can get.
- Oh, everybody's a critic!
- Let's not wait on this
any longer, it's time
for part two of our in depth
interview with our favorite
movie critic from Chicago.
We are Face Up with
Richard Roeper.
- Roger Ebert told me years
ago, when he was working
at The Sun Times, like
in the 70s, and somebody
called The Sun Times and said,
"Can you transfer
me to Roger Ebert?"
He's in his office and
he picked up the phone,
and it was this woman
who said, "Roger,
"my husband and I want to go
to the movies this weekend
"and we'd thought we'd
go to the expert."
He says, "Well madame,
Ingmar Bergman's new film
"'Cries and Whispers' is out.
"It's an amazing tale
that will make you rethink
"everything you
think about life.
"It's brilliantly written,
it's wonderful cinematography.
"It's such an intelligent,
insightful film!"
And she said, "Well that
doesn't sound like anything
"I'd want to see."
(Richard laughs)
So sometimes I feel if you're
telling someone how great
and esoteric a film is.
"Oh man, I don't
wanna see that."
He was almost much more
patient than I was.
Like people would be
like, "What should I see
"at the movies?"
and I'd be like, "I dunno, man.
"I review them..."
He was always really good
about it, but in this
particular event, I mean
he just wasn't in the mood.
And this women comes up
and she's pressing him
and pressing him about
different movies.
"Well what did you think of
'Hannah and Her Sisters?'
The Woody Allen movie?
And he says, "Well madame,
when it came out in
"1980, whatever, I
gave it four stars.
"Then featured in my
book about the greatest
"movies of all time.
"I talked about it on the
show with Gene Siskel.
"My top 10 of 1980s.
"I've spoken about it
100 times since then,
"so presumably if you actually
cared about my opinion
"you would know by know
what I thought of it."
