At a late-night table, a hesitant man is taught Three-Card Poker while players set a low-stakes structure: $1 ante, $10 bet, $100 cap. He admits he doesn't know the rules after losing heavily; his wife begs him to stop, but he insists he'll win back the 500,000 and chase 20 million. Other players offer to let him win small amounts and warn his $20 could vanish. He silences and threatens her, forces her to stand behind him, and they begin to play—leaving their finances and home hanging unresolved.
