- I'll tell you what though, Alex Reilly is high stakes when it comes to poker metaphors. - Politics, I'm very micro-stakes. I was asking how they felt about the wall in south Texas. - So Jim Carroll opens with seven six and flops a big draw. - Alec's seven, still the best hand. Only one over card out there.
- I lost a prop that I might need to use in this hand at some point. - Chris's son is out, Christian Gray is out. - And all we're left with is Jim Carroll and Alec Torelli, stop us if you've heard this one. And Jim Carroll just makes a straight on the turn. - Pick. - Alec picked his move for him. Door number one said check. - Check. - Alright, so we go check check on the turn. Here's the river. - Pick one. - It worked last time. - No, you sure you want that one Oncasinogames Canada? - It worked last time. (laughing) - No. - Oh, 3K in that one. - Yikes. - Now the way he did the little check in the turn was kinda cute, but from a poker standpoint, maybe not what we like to call game theory optimal. By not betting-- what is happening? (laughing) - What is this? I don't think you can do that. - This guy's seen Patton too many times. - Oh, I love it, backscratcher! - It's not across the line anymore and I did not touch it. - What's going on? - Alec is handling this really well, which, I believe if Jim were like a really, really good player, he'd probably have a lot less tolerance for this. - I got you beat this time, do not put your chips in. - What I was saying is, when Jim doesn't bet the turn he sort of caps his pot. Like if Jim had bet the turn and bet 3K on the river, this becomes a far less absurd bet for Alec to call. - Problem is it got so big. - Well you picked the other damn hand. What's wrong with you betting real big? You know, you just got like a little rinky-dink hand, you can't beat anything. - I will say this. Like the novels of Dan Brown, if your IQ is above 80 Jim Carroll is impossible to read. He's kind of like the Jigsaw of poker players in that he's baffling and cruel and also, somehow, he keeps coming back. - Come on, I'm fishing for you. Looking for a fish. - Break's in an hour, should we just go now? - Yeah. What would you do if it was your turn? - I know, right? - Like, I remember when I first started playing poker, it took me a while to make decisions too. It's only 100. That's all I got. - That's all I got, what a disgusting slow roll! - Back scratcher. - Good for you, I mean, well done. (laughing) (talking over each other) - Well that's not as good, I thought I scooped the game. Darn it. You don't have to be happy for me anymore, because I'm not happy for me anymore. - Barkley, what are you doing? I thought we were rooting and happy. - Gavin's Canadian so even when he's angry he sounds pretty happy. - I think we're all in there. - Pick one. - Left. - Hundred dollars. - Things are not looking good for Jim Carroll. - You are being careful with trying not to let me see it every time, though. - I don't want to give away everything. - Call. - 350. - I guess I could've done a $150 raise. - Going heads up for the turn, Jim Carroll officially drawing debt. - Oh, nice boat on the turn for Hanson. Atta boy. This is a super run out for Bart, not only is he improving but the board's running out in such a way that Jim's more and more likely to think his hand could be good. - Made you look, made you look. - 900. - 900 is the bet, call from Carroll. - Check. (background conversation) - Time for Bart to take it on down to Value Vill. - Notice how he doesn't get into the props. At this point, with Bart Hanson, like he did in the last one, with a big decision. - The question is do you have an Ace? If you have an Ace, and I got two Aces, that makes...but I don't have two Aces. I call. - You're gonna need a bigger boat. Where's the props now, maybe like a little tow truck for Bart to drag the pot? (vibrant jazzy music) - Welcome back to Poker Night in America. More specifically, Durant, Oklahoma.
