He wins 30,000 dollars. Ecstatic and full of swagger, he returns to New York and challenges the notorious poker shark Teddy KGB. Mike bets it all—and loses! Later, Mike is approached by his old poker partner, Worm, who begs for help. Worm has just been released from prison, but still has old debts to loan sharks. As in the “old days,” the two try to scrape together money as “rounders.” It nearly works when Worm is revealed to be cheating. Bankrupted and completely ruined, they are shown the door. As a last resort, Mike again seeks Teddy KGB and challenges him to one final desperate game. The stakes are at their peak. His life. Everything. Or nothing. A “rounder” is someone who makes a living playing poker, i.e., goes from game to game and “pulls rounds” in the city’s gambling dens.
