“Texas Hold'em. One hand, winner takes all.”
“A rigged deck is just a puzzle. One perfect cut, and I rearrange their entire death trap.”
“No! Please don't kill him! Victor! I'm so sorry I ruined everything!”
“Royal Flush.”
Victor lays down the Ace of Spades, finalizing an unbeatable Royal Flush. The gunman freezes and holds his fire, while the casino boss stares across the table in stunned disbelief. How will the casino boss react to this loss, and will he let Victor and Sarah walk away?
