- [Announcer] From the Rivers property
in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania,
this is Poker Night in America.
(jazzy music)
- Hello and welcome to Poker Night in America.
I'm Chris Hanson.
By my side as always is Joe Stapleton.
- Thank you Chris.
Today's show is a case study in how you can win
with any two cards
as long as you get super lucky
and Jen Tilly is there to pay you off.
And we wrap up our in-depth interview with Jen.
It's everything you ever wanted to see about Jennifer Tilly
that can't be found on Mr. Skin.
- Is that web site still up and running, by the way?
- [Chris] We continue day one here at Rivers Pittsburgh
and the story is Shaun Deeb in seat five.
Wow, that's a lot of money.
- [Joe] Shaun Deeb is gonna need a Netflix documentary
to get him out of prison
because he is murdering this game.
- [Chris] Poker Night in America,
brought to you by Kimo Sabe.
- I played a lot of hands poorly
over the last decade.
- Out of all the hands you played in the last decade,
where would you rank this one?
Like 1,007?
- [Shaun] Like 17,000, fourth hand I played.
- [Chris] Dan Wolf, we will also call him Cletus
throughout the night, raises with queen nine of spades.
Don't ask why.
- [Joe] You gotta be kidding me
that the guy with hair like a lichen is named Wolf.
I saw some animals outside with less hair than that guy,
and they were actual wolves.
- Makes me one for, I think, one for 13 now.
- [Shaun] You won two hands, the kings and the nines.
- No no no, for calling three bets in the past two days.
I'll let you guys know.
- [Shaun] The past two days?
Other games don't matter for this game.
- Those games are over buddy. - Okay well I'm oh for two
in this game.
- [Chris] Eldridge calls, so we're heads up
with Alec Torelli and Dave Eldridge.
- [Joe] Torelli's so good in this game.
- [Chris] Air for Eldridge.
A pair of aces for Torelli on that flop.
1300 is the bet from Torelli.
- [Joe] Top pair, good kicker, makes sense.
- [Chris] A call for some reason from Eldridge.
- [Joe] Yeah, must mean he's gonna try to take it away
on the turn or river.
Not sure why Torelli's in the tank here.
It seems like a pretty easy spot to take another bet
or I guess you could check and try to get a river bet in.
Either way, ace jack is gonna be the best hand here a lot
and your opponent is rarely gonna have much equity.
- [Chris] So Torelli checks,
and this would be the opportunity
that maybe Eldridge was looking for
to bet and steal this pot.
- Shaun, are we allowed to watch this live stream,
or if somebody tells us?
- [Shaun] I mean we've usually been playing not doing it.
- Oh, okay
- [Shaun] I mean you get a hand, you tell someone
that someone's winning.
- Okay, I didn't know that.
Let me go tell em and I'll be back.
- No tell Shaun?
(table chatter)
- [Daniel] Do not tell me.
- [Shaun] Maria kept getting,
Hanson was like *** at her.
Oh, I'm like, stop that. Like it just...
Everyone's gotta do it or no one's gotta do it, it just...
- No I'm fine with it, I won't...
- [Jennifer] Everyone's gotta do what?
- [Shaun] Not getting hands texted to them.
- [Chris] Torelli calls, which is gonna confuse Eldridge.
- [Joe] It means he's just gonna have to bet again
on the river.
- [Chris] So the question is now, does Torelli bet,
or does he check and let Eldridge bet?
Well, Torelli does check, so let's see what Eldridge does.
- [Jennifer] What? They're gonna tell you you had what?
- When you check raised me, I had nine ten.
That's what they're gonna tell you.
- And what was on the flop?
- I dunno, not nine ten.
(laughter)
- [Offscreen Player] We know he does like folding one pair,
so he didn't have a pair.
- [Jack] I did have a gut shot.
- All In.
- [Chris] And here is the bet from Eldridge.
It's 8,500, he's all in.
- [Joe] Aha!
Well I said Alec was looking at that check call
but this is one bluff that might get through.
- [Chris] And Torelli is gonna give it up?
Wow.
Well played, Dave Eldridge!
- You guys always know.
- Alec always knows.
Look at him over there, look at him.
- Yeah, I'm an official member.
They said I would have to drive the trucks
to the next location, but I knew they were just joking.
I was an honorary member.
- They just want more time with you, Jen.
They all want more time with you.
- [Joe] I want more time with Jen.
My VHS copy of Bound is completely worn out.
- I was on Johnny Carson back in the eighties.
That's how old I am.
- [Dave] Okay, you can just set it there.
- I'm sorry.
- Oh no, that was a different story. (laughs)
(laughter)
No, I told this story at Johnny Carson.
(laughter)
- Think of a random love scene.
- [Jennifer] I don't even remember my hand.
Did I play this?
I guess I did.
- [Joe] I feel so bad that I didn't get that joke
that I'm just gonna focus on the poker
for the rest of the hand.
- [Chris] Jennifer flops up and down.
- [Offscreen Player] That's a great live one.
- Like, we're all young enough we're like,
Johnny Carson, holy (beep)
- [Chris] Deeb's got a set of eight, so he's in the lead.
- [Joe] And poor Brady has top pair top kicker.
Shaun with 76% of the equity five ways.
- [Chris] 800 the bet from Deeb, call from Brady.
- [Joe] Tough to get away from TPTK.
- [Chris] And that's a call from Jennifer Tilly.
So five becomes three as we go to the turn.
- [Joe] Ah, Jennifer and Matt Brady
both pick up flush draws.
Brady's the nut flush draw.
- [Chris] He's betting that draw
- [Joe] He bets 1,800.
- [Chris] Yeah.
- Did you bag chips in the tournament?
Nice, nice.
(offscreen question)
140, yeah.
- [Joe] Still don't see how Jen can't call.
- [Chris] She does, over to Shaun Deeb.
- [Joe] With Deeb in position,
I think there's a chance he raises.
He also might figure a raise won't get any folds anyway,
and he might want to take the lower variance route
which is to just call.
- Rocha has chips, right?
- [Chris] There's the call from Deeb.
- [Offscreen Player] hopefully he's sleeping tonight.
- [Chris] Deeb's in a good spot.
Obviously now he can watch what everyone's gonna do
after the river comes out.
It's a queen, so Tilly gets there with her straight.
But Matt Brady's willing to put in $4,000 here on the river.
That's all it'll take there, Tilly.
Two stacks of black.
- [Jennifer] Call.
- [Chris] She does call.
- Makes my price better.
Only because you've been playing so much PLO though.
Ace deuce, ace of hearts (continues talking quietly)
- I got a PLO hand.
- [Joe] Great shot, so good, nice fold.
- Straight.
- Oh, sick.
That's a sick hand to lose to! (laughs)
- There was a chance I thought she might have had a three...
- Nice hand. (Jennifer laughs)
I didn't think I was gonna win, didn't think I lost to that.
- Set of eights.
- [Joe] Great fold, Shaun Deeb.
Great river, Jennifer Tilly.
- Both Tilly and Eldridge now have a bunch of chips
in front of them,
which means there's lot of ammo there for them to go to war.
- War!
More Poker Night in America after this.
- [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.
- [Chris] Poker Night in America, from Rivers in Pittsburgh.
Jack Schanbacher in the four seat is straddling.
Guess that means Shaun Deeb will be first.
(laughter)
Dave Eldridge, as we move our way around the table.
- [Joe] As he reaches for raising chips with six ten suited,
would you say he's more a winner or a loser in this game?
- [Chris] I would say he's ultimately a winner,
but he is kinda like Shaun Deeb.
He will have huge swings back and forth.
But I think ultimately he's a winning player.
- [Joe] He is a maniac, and he is in big big trouble
because he is up against kings
and all the big hearts are getting folded.
- [Offscreen Player] I lost your drink, buddy.
- [Offscreen Player] That's all right.
- [Chris] So Eldridge is calling.
- [Joe] Yeah, I like a fold there.
I think he should've made like Crystal *** and folded.
- [Shaun] Jennifer, my wife just texted me and says,
"When I'm not pregnant I should be on the show.
"A few glasses of wine"
and she could be as entertaining as you.
- [Jennifer] (laughs) I'm sure she could.
- I always give her a hard time cause she's still so mad
that she never introduced herself to you at PCA.
- Aw, I want to meet her.
- She was like, she wanted to say in the bathroom,
she was like, I'm Ellen Deeb's granddaughter.
- Oh my god.
- Cause then you woulda been all...
- [Jennifer] That would've been cute.
- [Shaun] She was like 6 months pregnant at the time.
- She's pregnant again?
Having another kid? Congrats.
- Thank you. - That's fantastic.
- The other guy's what like, one and a half?
- [Shaun] Two. - Two?
- [Shaun] He'll be two in May.
- I was gonna say, one and a half, yeah two.
- [Chris] And now a raise from Eldridge.
- [Joe] Well now that Eldridge has hit top two pair,
I actually do like this raise,
especially if he thinks Brady's
gonna have a lot of overpair.
He's gonna get paid all the time.
And you gotta protect a two pair.
- All in.
- [Chris] Wow, Eldridge got Brady to put all the money
in the middle,
and a quick call from Dave.
- [Joe] ♪ It's the story of a man named Brady
♪ Who is raising up two very cracked up kings
That's all I got.
- [Chris] Well if that's all you got,
all Dave Eldridge got was all of Matt Brady's chips.
And he just got those.
- [Joe] He covers, it's okay.
Got enough.
- Yeah, I guess you could probably call it a tilt.
I was losing a lot of hands.
I was down probably 25k.
He three-bet me five or six times.
One time I four bet light.
That hand I just decided to defend ten six suited.
And you know obviously just got a gin flop
against two kings.
Just got really lucky to win that hand.
- [Joe] Chris, we've got a double straddle.
Sound the alarm.
Okay, no alarm.
It's okay, it's not in the budget this year anyway.
- I might pull like
one of the most creative business-like trades.
- Oh, that's exciting.
- [Joe] Things are getting expensive out there.
Torelli makes it 600 with ace seven.
And Jennifer Tilly is making it 15.
- This is ten grand.
- Do we have to pay for the drinks?
- No no no. We just tip them.
- Okay. - What is it?
Six and then 15?
- [Chris] I'm glad to see that Matt Brady folded.
I'd hate to see him get stacked three consecutive hands.
- [Joe] Hey Chris, check this out.
Wolf man's got cards!
- I appreciate it, everyone's keeping an eye out for me.
No one likes Matt.
- I like Matt.
- [Chris] So Cletus with kings.
I'm guessing we're not staying at 1500.
- [Joe] Saw a werewolf a pack of clangers in his hand.
Playin through the streets of poker, it's a raise.
- [Offscreen Player] We'll just go ahead and put em all
in the middle. - I played this bad.
- What? - I played it bad.
It's like, I pick up a hand, I'm just playing so bad.
- (laughs) I played it bad.
- I played it so bad!
But it's like oh, oh okay,
I was just like, somebody'll call a 15,
What does that look like?
Or I'll just make it, like whatever here.
Like what does that look like?
I don't know.
- [Offscreen Player] 20, 15.
- Oh I'm so stuck, I'm gonna just call.
Oh, you have kings.
- We have the wheel draw.
- If you have queens you're in good shape.
- [Joe] She does have queens.
She is not in good shape.
- Is that you? - No.
- Close? - No.
- [Chris] It's hard for that to be her.
How about now? Nope, still not close.
How about now?
- Why don't I have jacks?
Nice hand.
All right, how much is it, 11 something?
(Daniel mumbles)
- Cletus, you just, you just...
- I mean it could be.
It could be like threes and fives.
(laughter)
- I don't know what she has.
I was like, is that you?
- [Offscreen Player] Ten five three it's like oh (beep)
- Cause it could be. - Right right.
You did good with your fast talking, oh I played bad.
- I don't lie. - What?
- Yeah I'm all, I'm all, yeah, I don't lie.
Yeah. A lot of people,
actually recently somebody told me,
he's like man I don't think you should talk as much
when you're in a hand.
I think like,
I just don't think it helps you out.
- Sounded like he was trying to get me to call,
which I reverse tell that as
he's trying to sound like he's getting me to call
because he wants me to fold.
- So maybe I was doing like a reverse tell on her,
then it gets to that meta game levels, and this and that
but uh...
yeah I just kinda say stuff.
- That's what Cletus does.
He creates this little tsunami of,
you're like I don't even know what it is.
I don't know what he's talking about.
What?
You just want the clamor to go away.
Like, stop talking, stop talking!
- Yeah, I talk quite a bit,
whether I'm in a hand or out of it, you know.
Yeah.
There's three things you should do each day.
You laugh, cry and engage in deep thought.
If I can make somebody laugh than I'm kinda making a third of their day
So I just try to make people laugh I guess.
- Welcome back to Poker Night in America.
It takes two to tango.
Who's the better dancer?
Jen Tilly, or Dave Eldridge?
- Just let the cards do the talking.
- Okay.
- Or dancing.
Kind of mixed metaphor.
- So Brady, just sit in the one seat buddy,
and print money on this.
Give me 10% of your action.
(table chatter)
There no way you're printing.
- [Alec] You know, it might be like a 3% edge or something.
- [Matt] I don't think it's a bad high.
- [Chris] All right, so Dave Eldridge active again,
makes it 400 on the ace queen.
And it looks like he's about to tangle with Jen Tilly again.
- So then you're gonna have six combos to five combos
with most numbers. - Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's a valid point.
- [Chris] Calls at ace five.
- [Alec] It also depends on whether odd or even
is a more likely combo in basketball.
That has something to do with it.
- [Joe] And Dave Eldridge has gotten the best hand
with nothing and the best draw.
Jen's got the best optimistic draw,
which is running diamonds.
Sometimes I like to count that a little bit.
- [Chris] Back door, back door draw?
- [Joe] Yeah, why not?
- [Chris] Runner runner happens a lot.
- [Joe] If it happens to you, it can happen for you.
- [Shaun] I wonder if that odd-even
was each individual team's score, or the total of the game?
- [Chris] See, Jennifer Tilly also an optimist.
- [Joe] Eldridge can call
and try to hit the nut straight still.
He's never drawing dead.
And sometimes he's gonna have the best hand already,
which he did and does now!
- [Chris] But there's one of those diamonds
that you were talking about.
So Jen Tilly now has the nut flush draw.
- [Joe] She's actually got a royal draw.
- Three?
- [Chris] Call from Dave.
- [Joe] This way if the river's terrible,
you can still get away from it.
- [Chris] We're now over 10,000 as we go to the river.
- [Joe] That is a great river for Dave Eldridge.
Check to him.
He should be able to value bet this pretty comfortably.
Of course if he doesn't get raised,
he's gonna throw up in his mouth a little bit.
- [Chris] 2,500 the bet from Eldridge.
- How can Eldridge always have the best hands?
It's so sick.
- [Chris] See now I said that Eldridge
was gonna be in a really bad spot
and Jen decided to raise,
but after she sighs like that
I don't really think she can.
I mean I get that she's an actress and all, but...
- [Chris] The curiosity is just getting to Jen.
She can't help herself.
There's the call.
- Yech.
- [Joe] And it's always rough
when the most live dude at the table has it.
- Nice hand.
Eldridge always has the best hands.
- Yeah, if she had gone all in on the river or something,
I would have folded.
But when she sets the river,
I know that I have the best hand,
but now if there's a four straight and a flush,
I just know that I can't bet that much.
- It's so anticlimactic.
- I'll never run it twice, so it doesn't matter.
- I mean we just wait til the river to get in.
- I'm the same way.
- [Offscreen Player] I'd rather run it three times
than twice. - It wastes time.
- [Offscreen Player] Because at least someone wins.
- I agree with that more, yeah.
(table chatter)
- Yeah, three's kind of fun.
You can't get hurt, but you could, you know...
- See, I believe in just letting the cards
take their course.
The game wasn't made to run it more than once.
You just gotta let the cards take their course.
Just let it be how it's supposed to be.
- [Offscreen Player] I don't know.
I'm not that emotional about once twice or three times...
- [Joe] You could run this one 100 times
and Eldridge is gonna win 96 of them
and two are gonna be chops.
- All the nits, like I want to run it twice.
Yeah, that's so good.
Then you have, oh, if so I'd never win.
Like, you win the first one, you never win the second one.
- [Offscreen Player] Twice is kinda anticlimactic, you know?
- [Chris] And now up to 5,700.
- [Joe] And Matt Brady's been getting his lunch eaten today
like he's been leaving a firehouse sub
unattended in a the break room fridge at the Thunderdome.
- [Chris] Brady folds.
- [Joe] Good fold!
- [Chris] Tilly's all in.
Eldridge calls.
- I'm glad I didn't reload.
- [Matt] Oh sick.
Sorry, I shouldn't...
- I feel like I should...
I feel like... what did you say you had?
- I had the same hand. - You did?
- Well, not the same hand, different suits.
- [Matt] Different suits, yeah.
- Take back your doll.
Your little voodoo doll.
- Sorry, I truly was trying to help you out!
- Right, right.
(laughter)
- It was cause you covered its face up!
It's not gonna help you out
when you just have it blindfolded!
- Covering its mouth so as not to give off any tells!
- [Daniel] Oh.
- The problem is when I lose chips,
I don't want to get the chips back from anybody.
I want to get em back from the person that I gave them to.
So he's two for two.
Twice he managed to get the better of me.
Her and I've played a lot of big pots,
and I've had really good hands against her a lot of times.
So I can definitely understand why she's frustrated,
because I blasted her a lot.
Alright lets take a Glantz at the losers
Like Bobby no win.
Jason Andrew loser
Jennifer Tilty and Matt Brady minus preformance
- [Chris] And Shaun Deeb.
Woah, somebody's buying tonight.
43,000 in profit.
And Dave Eldridge!
Pretty good session as well, up 14,000.
- Time for a break, but when we come back
we bring you the dramatic conclusion
of Face Up with Jennifer Tilly.
- Bom bom bom.
- You gotta replay the entire hand before
you're really thinking on the river.
And you're starting with all the possible hands that he could
have here and you're funneling them down this way, until you
get to what you think his hand is.
- This looks really exciting but I have to post this before
I get felted. (laughing)
Run it up Phil Hellmuth style. (laughing)
You're gonna have to start shopping at Target, no more
Louis Vuitton for you. - No more Louis Vuitton.
- [Announcer] Poker Night in America is brought to you
bu our trusted friend, Kimo Sabe Mezcal.
Why settle for tequila?
Step up to Kimo Sabe.
- Welcome back to Poker Night in America.
Stapes, quick, top three favorite Jen Tilly movies, go.
- Liar Liar, Cult of Chucky, Liar Liar.
- Liar Liar twice, huh? Nice.
- Yeah, the second time I watched it,
I got more of the nuance.
- Then I would suggest watching our next segment
as many times as possible.
It's part two of our in-depth interview
with Poker Night's most popular player.
We are Face Up with Jennifer Tilly.
- I've always thought I'm a better theater actress
than I am a film actress.
And I just feel like, well you know I'm very big,
you can see me from the balconies, like...
When we were very young, my mom...
We were incredibly poor.
I only had one pair of shoes.
But she always managed to find money for the theater,
the ballet.
We'd be in the very last row.
So I was incredibly grateful when a actress would look up
and I could see their face.
And so I'm always acting to the back row.
To, you know, the seven and eight year old in the back row.
I just want to make sure everybody can see me
and everybody can hear me.
When I met Phil,
I actually met him at the celebrity invitational.
And Phil came over.
He goes "There's that girl I really like!"
So he came over and he was trying to teach me
how to play poker.
It's like, waving him off like,
I don't need to know how to play poker.
I know, I got this, okay?
I went home and I reached in my pocket
and there were all these phone numbers.
I went, "Who are these people?"
And I threw em away.
Then about four months later,
I went to a poker tournament and Phil was there.
He's like "Hi Jennifer, hi!"
And I was like "Oh there's that guy that likes me."
So he's sitting behind me the whole time,
trying to talk to me while I was playing.
And at the end of the night,
he goes "How can I get ahold of you?"
And I go "Ha, give me your phone number, I'll call you."
And he goes "That's what you said the last time."
I was so embarrassed that he was so inconsequential
I didn't even remember giving him that same line.
And he goes "Tell ya what.
"Why don't you give me your phone number,
cause it's only 3% you'll call me,
"But it's 100% I'll call you!"
And I was so embarrassed I didn't know what to do!
And I gave him my phone number,
and I actually gave him my real phone number.
But he said later he'd been planning,
like if I ever see that girl again,
and she says that to me again,
that's what I'm gonna say.
- That's it from Rivers for now.
Next time we start a whole new day
here with some new and old players.
But if you haven't seen them, they're new to you.
Or if you're senile.

I just got a wicked craving for mashed potatoes.
I gotta find some mashed potatoes.

Yes, yes, you.
Yes, that's right.
You can grow a beard but you can't hide from me.
I'll know it's you.
I'm coming, I'm gonna take all your money
and then I'm gonna take your self-respect.
