- [Announcer] From Seminole
Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida,
this is Poker Night in America.
(upbeat music)
- Hello and welcome to
Poker Night in America.
Back in Hollywood, Florida
at Seminole Hard Rock
for day two, it's Chris
Hanson, with Joe Stapleton.
- Coming up tonight, we
know Jennifer Tilly's
meal ticket is the
Curse of Chucky,
but on tonight's show,
we'll see if she can
lift the curse of
Poker Night in America.
Also, Jessica Dawley takes
her sweet, sweet time.
- It's a Dawley
dilly dally tonight.
Let's get to the table.
Let's get back to
day two shall we?
Right now the big stack at
the table is Tom Marchese,
he's got $38,000 in
play in front of him.
- He and Aaron Mermelstein
proving for the umpteenth time,
that being popular
in high school
is inversely proportional to
how good you are at poker.
- Poker Night in America brought
to you by Kimo Sabe Mezcal.
In case you're new to
Poker Night in America,
blinds are $25 and
$50 this cash game.
- [Marchese] You're
in tournament mode.
- [Dawley] That's right.
- [Marchese] You're
a tournament girl.
- Pedal to the metal.
(heavy sighing)
If I was in tournament mode.
- [Hanson] Matt Berkey
starts us with a raise
to $250 with king,
seven of hearts.
That's Jennifer
Tilly, welcome back.
Calling with eight, deuce
of hearts, Jennifer.
- [Stapleton] That's so Tilly.
- [Hanson] Jen,
Jenny, come on now.
- [Berkey] I open
it again with kings.
And I think I got one cold call.
- [Hanson] Dan
Suied gets involved
with ace, six of diamonds.
- [Stapleton]
Eight, six Suieded.
- [Hanson] Flop is
three, seven, eight.
- [Stapleton] (laughing)
Somehow Jen flops
the best hand with
the eight, deuce.
- [Hanson] Yeah, I got
top pair, check this out.
- [Stapleton] She's raising.
- A hundred or so,
comes back to me,
I call, under the gun just rips.
- [Stapleton] Hey, when you
hit the board this hard,
you gotta get some
value out of it, right?
- [Dawley] Wow.
- It's like the dumbest thing
I've ever been a part of.
- [Hanson] Trying to push out
those king, sevens
and ace, sevens.
Which she does not
do on the flop.
- [Stapleton] She wants a call
from king, seven and she got it.
(Stapleton laughing)
And she turns two pair.
- Oh man.
- [Stapleton] You know,
watching this is more dangerous
for the kids at home
than watching Jackass.
Do not do this.
- [Hanson] But roll down
the hill in a shopping cart?
Totally cool.
- [Stapleton] This is akin to
that, playing eight, deuce.
- [Hanson] $1,700, the
bet here from Tilly.
- [Stapleton] I don't wanna
hear these kids saying,
oh but Jen Tilly
did it on TV, no.
(chips shuffling)
Berkey keeps on calling.
- [Marchese] Do you live
in Florida full-time now?
- [Dawley] Yeah, I have for
like the past five years.
From Vegas to here.
- Oh, okay.
- [Dawley] I just, I love
this lifestyle a lot more.
- [Stapleton] So that makes
it a little bit harder
for Jen to go to value.
- Check.
- Yep.
Straights and flushes
came in on the river.
- Oh, eight, deuce.
- Matt Berkey.
No, no, no, it was
eight, deuce man.
Did you see that?
- Oh, two pair.
- It was eight deuce.
Where's the reaction?
- [Hanson] Poker Night
in America brought
to you by Kimo Sabe Mezcal.
Suied very active.
Doesn't matter what cards he
has, or what position he's in,
he's playing a lot
of poker here today.
- [Stapleton] He's a fun one.
- [Hanson] Those are two
aces for Jessica Dawley.
- [Stapleton] And you better
believe you're gonna three bet
that under the gun raise,
all the live long day.
Suied with the crackers.
Let's see if he can
do it (laughing).
- [Hanson] You've
gotta be kidding me.
- [Stapleton] No, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- [Hanson] By the reaction
to my cohost here,
as you can clearly
see Jessica Dawley
got a little out-flopped.
And of course, she is
betting into the full house.
- [Stapleton] (crying)
No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.
- [Hanson] Stapes,
it's not over yet.
She's still got some options.
Action's on Dawley.
- All in, seven?
- Flopped it, flopped it.
- You flopped it?
- Well, you have to
turn over anyway, so.
- Oh, sorry, nice hand.
(group groaning)
- [Stapleton] (pained) No, no
(crying) no.
- [Hanson] She's gonna
get there on the river.
Here it comes.
- [Stapleton]
(crying) No, no, no.
Is she rebuying?
Is she rebuying?
- [Hanson] Oh, she's
reaching for the microphone.
I don't think so, Stapes.
- (crying) No, no.
- [Hanson] I knew that was not
the answer you were looking for.
- [Stapleton] Make
it stop (crying), no,
not Jessica Dawley.
- [Hanson] Yeah, Jessica's
gonna be leaving, Stapes.
I think that's gonna be it.
- [Stapleton] I don't
think I can stay.
- Sorry about your
rough day, Jessica.
One of us is taking it a little
better than the other one.
We've got more poker
when we come back.
- Hello, it's Phil
Hellmuth here,
and the Kimo Sabe Mezcal lounge,
talking to Liv Boeree, great
poker player, and rockstar, no?
Well, you play a little bit.
- I used to want
to be a rockstar.
You're right, I used to--
- I wanna be a rockstar.
- Yeah, I used to play a
lot, when we first met,
on that TV show
years ago, I was very
into metal at the time,
and I was always playing.
I actually thought I was
gonna become a rockstar.
My goal was to, I wanted
to travel the world,
make money, and be my own boss.
And music seemed
like the way to go.
And then poker came
along, and I'm like, wait,
I can also travel the
world, make good money,
be my own boss,
and I get to play
this awesome game
at the same time.
So in the end, poker star
won out over rockstar.
- Let's have a little
Kimo Sabe Mezcal.
- Yes please.
- And toast rock and poker.
- Bringing people together.
(glasses clinking)
It's a four hour show?
- Welcome back to
Poker Night in America,
we're here at the Seminole
Hard Rock in Florida.
Jessica Dawley, I'm
not quite over it yet.
So let's just
focus on the poker.
- Good, welcome back.
- [Stapleton] Sorry, was just
starting to calm down again.
- [Hanson] Okay.
- [Stapleton] You
know, I think I bought
a cell phone plan
from Matt Berkey once.
- [Tilly] What did you
say, you did Twitch,
15 minute Twitch sessions,
and you're watching us?
- Yeah, I watched you guys.
- How did you do that?
I didn't even notice you
were gone from the table.
- It was like I time traveled.
- [Marchese] No
it was on dinner.
- [Marchese And
Tilly] On the break.
- [Marchese] Cause it's
on half hour delay.
- It's pretty cool.
- Kid does his homework.
- [Marchese] Yeah, I got
to see how you guys play.
That's why I'm re-raising here.
- [Tilly] I was just
resting my brain.
- [Mermelstein] I saw you guys.
- I ate three granola bars.
- I saw Jen bluff me
with the king, queen.
- And you just got to see
what I called you
on the river with?
- [Mermelstein] Pocket eights?
- You mean before that, oh.
- Yeah, yeah.
- [Stapleton] Ah Jen, you're
gonna have to wait your turn.
This isn't all chaos like trying
to board a flight on Southwest.
- I didn't see you there.
- But I told you though.
- [Marchese] You
didn't tell me that.
What a dilemma.
- You should be confused.
- You're right, I didn't.
- [Marchese] It
makes sense though.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Go on, do your thing,
I'm not stopping you.
- [Stapleton] I'm not
stopping you, I'm just gonna
drink this drink
super confidently.
He's in for $800
with pocket jacks.
- Man, how good is Tom?
He doesn't even need
to get texted hands.
- What?
- He just knows,
even if they go in the muck.
- I don't know, I
just base it off
some things that make sense.
- [Stapleton] I like taking
a more passive line here.
I don't think there's any
need to try to get it all in
against what could be a
monster to your direct right.
- [Hanson] Joe Stapleton
tends to be what
we like to call
passive-regressive.
- [Stapleton] (laughing)
There's some orange
in front of her, is she, okay,
she's throwing one of
them out there to call.
- I thought we were
gonna see the hammer.
- I already can't wait to
see this on the stream.
- [Hanson] Or on
our show, on TV,
like an old person
watches, come on.
- [Stapleton] Berkey flops
top set, so now Jen is losing.
The good news is, she gets
to play a smaller pot now
than if she'd put in
another bet preflop.
- [Hanson] Yeah, it's either
you're raised preflop,
or you called
preflop, either way,
ace, king never wins here,
just never ever seems to win.
- [Stapleton] And she just
made a liar out of me.
Cause she's now raising.
- Oh my.
- [Stapleton] I guess she could
get some better hands to fold.
Just not this one.
- [Hanson] Berkey calls.
- [Stapleton] Really
hope Jen's gotten
all the information she needs.
She does pick up a gut
shot to the nut straight.
Berkey's probably not
loving that heart,
but he isn't going to go all
crazy and cheap out on us.
- [Hanson] A $5,000 bet.
- I misplayed this hand.
- [Hanson] In one chip, love it.
- Whoever's in the booth,
I'm sure they're saying,
wow, she really made some
bad choices along the way.
(group laughing)
- [Hanson] That even got
a chuckle out of Berkey.
- They might be telling you
you're playing like a genius.
- Well, no, not at this
point, now I'm just talking.
Coming to terms with loss.
(group laughing)
- If it makes you feel any
better, I was betting all turns.
- He's like wait,
I'm in the hand.
And it was like, (hissing)
rattle, rattle, rattle, rattle.
Like in the bushes.
And I was like, why is he taking
so long to play his cards?
You were sitting there
all quiet, like a snake.
Like, I'm gonna be really
quiet, she won't even see me.
- Wow.
- [Tilly] I'm terrible
with the (mumbles).
I just remember the
expression on his face,
that's all I remember.
- [Berkey] (laughing) Does
it still haunt your dreams?
- [Tilly] No, that's the
entertaining part (laughing).
That's why we're all
happy and then sad.
- [Stapleton] Marchese raising
things with kueeng suited.
There's a three bet from
Berkey with jacks again.
- [Hanson] Jen
Tilly cold calling
the three bet with two eights.
- [Stapleton] Oh, hello,
I've always wondered what
the inside of Dan
O'Brien's nose looked like.
- [Hanson] Weirdest card peek
I've seen in a long time.
- [Stapleton] All right,
back to king, queen suited.
- [Hanson] Three players
together to the flop.
With $1,500 in the middle.
And here is the flop, brought
to you by Kimo Sabe Mezcal.
The flop is five, nine, six.
- [Stapleton] Jen Tilly's
gonna like that flop,
but she is behind.
She's bet $1,000.
Berkey raising.
- [Hanson] $2,700
total is the bet.
Tilly calls.
- [Suied] Did you
make that backpack?
- [Mermelstein] No, I
got it in Galapagos.
- [Suied] Oh, really?
- Now I'm inspired to go.
- I'm impressed that you
think I'm talented enough
to make that though by the way.
- It looks handmade, so.
- Thanks man.
(group laughing)
- [Suied] Galapagos, that's
Africa, what is that, Asia?
- No, it's in Ecuador.
- It's really not, I
mean, it's Ecuador.
It's like 100 miles west.
- I mean, it's its own island.
- Yeah, yeah, for sure,
it's all kinds of like--
- [Hanson] Even though
Berkey raised the flop,
Jen's leading turn is
playing out of flow.
Typically she would check
to the last aggressor.
This is not usually
a move players make
when they're super strong.
Berkey calls.
- Unable to really
mate elsewhere,
so it's a very centered spot.
So it's kind of a great
spot to study evolution.
Where Darwin did it.
- You can see sea turtles.
- [Hanson] And the one
card that coulda given Jen
a chance to get
away just paired.
- [Stapleton] Now
she's gonna think
her eights are maybe good again.
- That's so cool.
- Yeah.
- [Hanson] I wonder if Berkey's
gonna be betting for value.
I'm guessing he is, or he
would have already checked.
- Latin America's dope, man.
- It's a lot of long
flights though, right?
- From Florida, I think it's
like six hours or something.
- [O'Brien] Just for
getting to Galapagos,
and then from there--
- Did he just say Galapagos?
Everyone knows it's
called Gay-luh-pay-gos.
Geez Dan, read a book.
Whenever I travel to the
Galapagos, I go by boat.
- [O'Brien] I just can't handle
those little propeller planes.
- Why would you re-raise me?
Unless you think I'm a bluffer.
I'm not a bluffer.
I was gonna re-raise preflop
with my fantastic hand.
What the (beep)?
I'm like the worst
player in the world.
Why would you raise on the turn?
I can't imagine you'd bluff me.
Are you bluffing me?
- No.
- [Hanson] He's not bluffing.
- I said you had jacks.
- [Stapleton] But you called.
- I just thought,
he couldn't possibly
have connected with that flop.
I thought, he might
have the king, queen
or something like
that, so money went in,
and then more money went in,
and then more money went in,
and then I just
went on raging tilt.
I mean, thank god the
show ended when it did,
because I would
either be back to even
in half an hour, or stuck
$100,000 (laughing).
I was so (beep) annoyed.
I always lose on Poker
Night in America,
and I was back to even,
I was a little bit up.
I was gonna do like
Jessica Dawley and leave.
- [Stapleton] No, don't
remind me, no (crying).
- [Hanson] Stapes,
it's over, it's over.
(words drowned out by crying)
- We've got more Poker
Night in America,
when we come back, somebody
is definitely off the rails.
- (crying) Why, no, no.
Is she coming back?
- No, I don't think so,
I think she's leaving.
She's done.
- Are we coming back?
- We're gonna come back.
- Okay, all right.
- [Announcer] Poker Night
in America is brought
to you by our trusted
friend Kimo Sabe Mezcal.
Why settle for tequila?
Step up, to Kimo Sabe.
- Welcome back to
Poker Night in America.
- Where it is Jennifer
Tilly's last chance
to turn it around for the day.
And we're all really
pulling for her.
Come on Jen, you can do it.
- No, I have to win on TV,
I don't care about $12,000.
(group laughing)
It's my pride that's
at stake, oh my god.
- I would do a $12,000 flip
with you at the end except
I just know you want it bad
enough that I would never win.
- No, I have to win it, I
have to win it through sheer,
sheer wiliness and grit.
- Sheer force.
(group laughing)
- Oh my god, I can't believe
another Poker Night in America
is coming to an end and
I'm in the red again.
- [Stapleton] You
know what goes further
than wiliness and grit?
Having the best hand.
- That does help with
winning in poker.
I think half the issue,
is that you keep records.
- [Hanson] Marchese
raises to $150,
and he gets a call from Tilly.
- Oh Jen.
- Out of the big blind.
Please don't hit, oh no.
- Oh Jen.
- They're like, Jennifer's
down this amount,
like really, really accusing.
(group laughing)
- It'd get real bad if they
had like a cumulative total
through all your shows.
- So embarrassing.
- They could be bribed
to change that amount.
- Okay, thank you.
- [Hanson] Bettin' a call.
Tilly does not improve.
(chips shuffling)
- Holy cow.
- $700 and a quick call.
(mumbles)
- We're on a hand-for-hand now.
- (mumbles) has the bracelet?
- I don't know yet,
they haven't said.
- Oh, they didn't.
- [Hanson] $1,500, the bet
from Tilly, and a call.
- This is so unfair, Marchese.
- I know, it shouldn't,
that's messed up.
- That's (beep).
- (beep) that's (beep).
- [Marchese] I agree.
(group laughing)
- That would be so much fun.
Okay.
- This is not the way of
manufacturing big pots.
- What, it's not, what?
- One day, when I have
all the money, I'm gonna
invite you to my game.
(group laughing)
My businessman game.
You'll be invited.
- Although, the
illusive businessman
that everyone always promises
will be at their game.
- [Marchese] (laughing) Yeah.
- [Berkey] Poker will have
a sad state of affairs
if that illusive
businessman is Dan O'Brien.
(group laughing)
- [Mermelstein] That was your
plan all along, huh Marchese?
- [Marchese] Just got you guys
in there weak, raise it up.
- What, I feel like I should
defend my blind, my straddle.
I think you're supposed
to defend your straddle.
- I've heard that.
- You could.
- [Hanson] All right,
here comes the flop.
- (laughing) I
hope you crush him.
- I hope I have aces.
- You haven't looked, huh?
- Oh, I looked at it, just no.
- [O'Brien] Full
double I'm rootin' for.
- [Stapleton] Oh Boy.
- [Hanson] Jen doesn't hit
it, but Marchese sure does.
- [Stapleton] Is it
possible to not flop a set
against Jennifer Tilly,
has anyone ever tried?
- [Hanson] Well, now Jen's got
the open-ended straight draw.
So she picks up some
outs on the turn.
- [Stapleton] I kinda
want Jen to suck out here.
I think she's earned it.
- [Hanson] I hate the
feeling that Jennifer Tilly
has right now, because we've
all had it at the poker table.
You know that the night is
running out, and you just
so badly want everyone's
money to come your way.
And you just know secretly
it's not, it's not happening.
- [Stapleton] Why can't I get
dealt aces, and everyone else
big pocket pairs, and aces
hold, and I win all the money?
- Why?
- Cause that never happens.
- [Hanson] The bet was
$1,700, we get a call.
- [Stapleton] She's
gotta call now.
- [Hanson] Uh, come
on, oh, nothing.
- [Stapleton] Yeah, I
know that looks like
the king of clubs,
but those clubs
are actually three tiny
stuck together bricks.
(chips shuffling)
- I almost felt guilty
when I saw the flop.
- What?
- Every time.
- So sick.
God I wish I sucked out on you.
- [Stapleton] Me too.
- No way to get cards with
bigger numbers on them?
Tell you something, I got a good
hand.
I got a good hand big shot, just
telling you right now.
You wouldn't do well in prison
but you're doing great here.
You're a little pretty.
Throw a wig on you and yoddle,
what do you think?
It's not amazing.
Can I show Jennifer?
- Yeah.
- Negative.
- You said negative?
Did you get the 20 bucks or not?
- [Announcer] Poker Night
in America is brought
to you by our trusted
friend, Kimo Sabe Mezcal.
Why settle for tequila?
Step up to Kimo Sabe.
- Do we count our money, or
does somebody count it for us?
I'm used to people
doing things for me.
- Sneaks some chips in now.
- [Hanson] Day two comes
to an end, and it looks
like Tom Marchese is
making the most of his
first ever appearance on
Poker Night in America.
- [Stapleton] Boy,
that's a short list,
I assume the next one's
gonna be longer (laughing).
(crying) Jessica!
- Oh gosh.

(hip hop music)
No, no, no, no!
(blows landing)
Jessica!
(funky music)
I danced on a Friday when the
sky turned black.
It's hard to dance with the
devil
on your back.
They felted me in the cash game
and they thought I'd gone,
But I am the dance and I still
go on.
(group laughing)
- Oh my lord.
- Nice, very nice.
- How did you not
break the glass?
- He's a (beep).
- All right, put it
back together,
we'll do take two.
