00:00:05Welcome to High Card Hustle.
00:00:08I'm rich! I won! I actually won!
00:00:12No! No! Please don't take my hand!
00:00:19My name is Liam, an S-Class Hustler.
00:00:22In this world, cards aren't just gambling tools.
00:00:26They're power, wealth, and magic itself.
00:00:31Every day, fortunes rise and fall, winners are crowned, and fools lose everything.
00:00:40Oh, you ask about me? I never lose.
00:00:44I am Liam, the Phantom Ace, the greatest Hustler alive.
00:00:49Hey! Liam's cheating!
00:00:53Hustlers lose a hand!
00:00:59Wait! Wait! You have to search me! You have to search me first!
00:01:09What's going on here?
00:01:11The dealer found a marked card. Someone was mixing them into the deck. The rest of us were searched already.
00:01:16That only leaves him.
00:01:22You picked the wrong house, Hotshot. New blood like you doesn't last five minutes in a place like this.
00:01:29No!
00:01:30No!
00:01:31No!
00:01:32No!
00:01:33No!
00:01:34No!
00:01:34He thinks he's the Phantom Ace.
00:01:36Is he the Phantom Ace?
00:01:37Is he the Phantom Ace Ace?
00:01:39Please. The masked Phantom Ace mastered all 28 tricks and vanished from the gambling underworld years ago.
00:01:48Exactly. This little punk couldn't palm a dinner roll without getting caught.
00:01:54Search him anyway. Let's see what this rookie's hiding.
00:02:00Jesus, Liam.
00:02:01Professor Alden...
00:02:02You'd think the star student of a Master Hustler would be more careful than to cheat in a place like
00:02:06this.
00:02:06What aren't you saying? Speak up!
00:02:09I don't know him.
00:02:11But I played this table earlier.
00:02:13If you're gonna search him, search me as well.
00:02:34Satisfied?
00:02:37Pants two!
00:02:39Hold it.
00:02:41I found something.
00:02:47Listen. I'm a Master Hustler. Cards, dice, gears. I can be of use to you. I can teach you what
00:02:53I know.
00:02:54Master Hustler, huh? Is that so?
00:03:02Everyone!
00:03:09Keep my girls safe!
00:03:12Alden!
00:03:13Keep my girls safe!
00:03:16Alden!
00:03:23That night still haunts me.
00:03:26Even after all this time, I don't know who Alden wanted me to keep safe.
00:03:34I'm coming.
00:03:37I'm coming!
00:03:40I'm coming!
00:03:50Professor Stone!
00:03:52I need your help.
00:03:56You need...
00:03:58You need a minute.
00:04:01Or...
00:04:03Office hours are...
00:04:0710 to 12.
00:04:13You lost two million dollars in a game with a one dollar buy-in?
00:04:16Lost is not the right word.
00:04:18My father also taught statistics.
00:04:20What are the chances the same player pulls four of a kind twice in a row?
00:04:26Improbable is not impossible.
00:04:28I have a photographic memory and a knack for counting cards.
00:04:31There were four aces on the table and one in my hand. What does that tell you?
00:04:35Tells me you tried to hustle and got hustled.
00:04:37I know that casino. Be grateful you still have two hands.
00:04:42Listen, Miss...
00:04:42Briar.
00:04:44These people stole all the money my father left me when he died and now the mob is hounding me
00:04:48for the rest of the payment.
00:05:03I came to you because I want to learn how to out-hustle those hustlers and win my money back.
00:05:07I was told you're the best.
00:05:09Well, besides the Phantom Ace.
00:05:12Who told you I'm the best?
00:05:15My father.
00:05:17Your father?
00:05:19Was Alden?
00:05:22Keep my girls safe!
00:05:25Keep my girls safe!
00:05:29Alden!
00:05:32Yes.
00:05:33I'm Alden's little girl.
00:05:35Or I was.
00:05:38So, you'll help me?
00:05:45This is the place where Professor Alden died.
00:05:48Where I buried the worst night of my life.
00:05:51And I swore I'd never use again.
00:05:58You ready to take this place down?
00:06:02More than you know.
00:06:03Stop.
00:06:23You ready to scare me?
00:06:23See you guys next time?
00:06:23No.
00:06:23Do you want to waste your money in the house?
00:06:24Tell meisi I'm not going to waste my money when you're trying to save money.
00:06:24I'm sorry!
00:06:24What are you doing?
00:06:25This is my method!
00:06:26You might be happy!
00:06:27I'm sorry!
00:06:49Are you hitting on my girlfriend?
00:06:51What?
00:06:52No!
00:06:52Of course not!
00:07:03It's them!
00:07:04Those two stole my money!
00:07:12Think fast and keep your cool.
00:07:16Tell me, what's the first rule of hustling?
00:07:27A good hustler identifies their target's core weakness within moments of meeting them.
00:07:34You have to pay attention.
00:07:43There's a lot to glean in a glance.
00:07:56Quick, what do you see?
00:07:58Vivian St. Clair.
00:08:00She draws a lot of attention to her body.
00:08:02Maybe to appear confident.
00:08:04Vain.
00:08:05But she's not.
00:08:07She's nervous.
00:08:09Concerned for her boutique?
00:08:10Is it doing well?
00:08:23Briar Thorne.
00:08:25Back to lose more money?
00:08:27Tell me.
00:08:28Who's your boyfriend?
00:08:38Fiancé, actually.
00:08:39Oh, wow.
00:08:41Fiancé.
00:08:44Careful.
00:08:45He looks good enough to steal.
00:08:52Hands off.
00:08:54So cold.
00:08:56Must be that cheap coat.
00:08:58You should drop by my boutique.
00:08:59I'm sure we could make a deal.
00:09:00So, what brings you both in today?
00:09:03You here to beg for what you lost?
00:09:04Kelvin Slade.
00:09:06Breath stinks of cigarettes and whiskey.
00:09:07Everything he owns came from Vivian's boutique.
00:09:10Mooching off his new girlfriend since his wife left.
00:09:13That's his weak point.
00:09:17Why would I do that?
00:09:18Got everything I need right here.
00:09:23Hey, that's my girlfriend.
00:09:25See, I'm going to win back everything you took from my briar.
00:09:27And then some.
00:09:30With what?
00:09:30That professor's salary?
00:09:31Careful.
00:09:32He's not just some professor.
00:09:33His teacher was the phantom ace.
00:09:42Oh, honey.
00:09:44The phantom ace was a masked king of the table.
00:09:46Your fiancé looks like he grades papers by candlelight and cries after.
00:09:51I don't care who he is.
00:09:52It's time to play.
00:10:14Let the games begin.
00:10:22See you at the table, tiger.
00:10:32You ready?
00:10:38Hey.
00:10:39You dropped this earlier.
00:10:42I didn't realize.
00:10:45More chips, please.
00:10:53No.
00:10:54You can't.
00:10:56You're going to lose.
00:10:58Do you want us to have nothing left?
00:11:01Just stand there and look pretty.
00:11:04Forgive my fiancé.
00:11:06She's young and inexperienced.
00:11:08That's why she lost.
00:11:10Besides, I'm the better player.
00:11:13I'm naturally lucky.
00:11:14Naturally lucky, of course.
00:11:17Much more believable than Briar's little phantom ace fantasy.
00:11:20If he knows the phantom ace, I'm the queen of hearts.
00:11:38What do you know, a phantom ace, to the victor goes the scorer.
00:11:48Like I said, I'm just lucky.
00:11:56That kind of timing.
00:11:58I've only heard of one hustler who could read a table that fast.
00:12:01Oh, please.
00:12:02I'm only saying, the last man I saw read a table that clean for a black mask.
00:12:06Then maybe clean your monocall.
00:12:08This man is not the phantom ace.
00:12:11What the hell?
00:12:12There's no way he's the legendary phantom ace.
00:12:15The real ace never showed his face.
00:12:17That's gotta be luck.
00:12:19Right?
00:12:20Enough whispering.
00:12:21Let's play.
00:12:38All right.
00:12:39Let's see what I've got.
00:12:48Classic discards for you.
00:12:52Left.
00:12:54That means...
00:12:57Left.
00:12:57Left.

00:13:05Left.
00:13:07Left.
00:13:11Left.
00:13:11His golden set is on his right.
00:13:27Just as I thought.
00:13:28They work the table as a team.
00:13:30Vivian has a work wife.
00:13:43the work wife really because they're working the table get it look maybe it's not the coolest name
00:13:52but it's the most common way to cheat at cards two hustlers working together can give each other a
00:13:58huge advantage then if that's true why shouldn't i play at the table beside you our biggest advantage
00:14:05is them thinking they have the upper hand as my doling girlfriend you can observe their plays
00:14:11and feed me information while they think i'm not paying attention girlfriend easy there
00:14:18we haven't even had coffee
00:14:27technique zero

00:24:00you're a clever girl but that mentality will get you killed
00:24:03a hustler is just a gambler who got tired of losing

00:26:12i can't believe they were dumb enough to fall for my bait
00:26:23shit that was supposed to be an ace it's so hard to tell what's coming out next give me the
00:26:30card
00:26:30hustlers perforate the edges of a golden set with the subtlest abnormalities
00:26:39feel the bumps yeah it's subtle those bumps are a language that one's a king
00:26:48and this one's an ace
00:26:51a good hustler learns to communicate on multiple levels
00:27:04the game begins anew don't expect better luck this time
00:27:08you playing too or are you just here for moral support
00:27:12i played last time yeah yeah but you quietly folded right before things got hot
00:27:17speaking of that why your first wife left the fuck you just say
00:27:23guess the problem wasn't passion what the hell viv let me at it he's trying to bait you
00:27:29into making a mistake let him think he's playing you i'll sit back this time to keep an eye out
00:27:34be careful what you wish for something tells me your luck has run out
00:28:04what's his secret
00:28:05what's his secret
00:28:23does that mean they switched hands you're getting better at this thanks professor what happens
00:28:30if they catch on to our strategy they're hustlers they're gonna realize they're being played
00:28:35they might but that's just when the fun begins she's been his eyes all along
00:28:43it's the girl she's his eyes his work life she's been tapping his shoulder to feed him tips from where
00:28:49she's standing i think she can see our cards but how does he come up with a winning hand every
00:28:53time
00:28:53i'm not sure he's barely moved could it be he's moving too fast to see with the naked eye
00:28:58only the phantom can pull something like this off i'm telling you
00:29:03no not the ace but i think we're dealing with a master hustler
00:29:06but the cards have to be on him right all we need to do now is force a search
00:29:18four million go ahead and try me
00:29:25liam stone i'm on to you
00:29:37i'm out what about you still in
00:29:43what's the interest on taking out a loan to keep playing you can't
00:29:50the casino owner wants people to enjoy themselves if you pay it off the same day it's zero interest
00:29:55and in 24 hours 25 and then 10 for every additional day the debt is outstanding
00:30:01oh a very generous deal all right four million dollar loan
00:30:12he's definitely cheating he signed that contract without any hesitation at all
00:30:17either he's suicidal or he already knows the cards all right time for the showdown
00:30:37the odds of a player getting four of a kind are one in about four thousand hands
00:30:42the chance of two players getting four of a kind round is one in 2.7 million if he beats
00:30:47this too
00:30:49no not even the phantom acel could be that clean
00:30:55i've got it now
00:31:00cheater
00:31:03liam stone i accuse you of planting cards no one beats four of a kind twice without a plant
00:31:10not you not even the phantom acel all right punk let's see how smug you look with only one hand
00:31:25i can do it myself creep you better the rules of the rusty cleaver casino state that anyone accused
00:31:30of cheating must be stripped of their clothes to confirm they're not hiding cards we'll get to
00:31:34the bottom of this if i find any evidence of cheating the culprit will lose a hand and the
00:31:39aggrieved will recoup all their losses for the day your shirt please

00:39:24it's a casino that's even more strict on cheating than the last
00:39:28more strict than losing a hand what do they just shoot you
00:39:37the security in that place is harder to break than fort knock
00:39:41before you can get in they scan you from head to toe for oddity

00:40:12i've had it since i was a child
00:40:17then if you do manage to sneak something past them
00:40:21every dealer in that joint uses a handcrafted custom set of cards totally unique to them
00:40:25making it impossible to replicate
00:40:33maybe for someone else
00:40:44that's good
00:40:48you're gonna need that confidence if you're gonna play for me at the table
00:40:52you want me to what oh yeah

00:41:09if kelvin chose this place to cheat it means he has a mechanic

01:16:57is there a cure
01:16:59yes
