Luke arrives at a high-stakes casino where a man says he taught a gambler a lesson and insists he's "here to win back all the money my son lost." They're let into a private game; Luke plays despite warnings that gambling destroys lives. He goes all in; the hand is counted—"eight, nine, ten"—and another player wins, leaving him a hair from victory but broke. Friends note his battered state and argue about quitting while someone offers to fetch cash. The man then says, "I want to win back the $180,000 my son lost," forcing them to raise stakes.
