00:00:05Welcome to High Carb 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.
00:01:34Unless he thinks he's the Phantom Ace.
00:01:36Is he the Phantom 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.
00:02:14If you're gonna search him, search me as well.
00:02:34Satisfied?
00:02:37Pants two!
00:02:40Hold it.
00:02:41I found something.
00:02:47Listen, I'm a master Hustler.
00:02:50Cards, dice, gears.
00:02:51I can be of use to you.
00:02:52I can teach you what I know.
00:02:54Master Hustler, huh?
00:02:56Is that so?
00:03:02Everyone out!
00:03:09Keep my girls safe!
00:03:13Keep my girls safe!
00:03:16Alden!
00:03:17Alden!
00:03:17Alden!
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.
00:03:35I'm coming.
00:03:37I'm coming!
00:03:40I'm coming!
00:03:40I'm coming!
00:03:41I'm coming!
00:03:45I'm coming!
00:03:45I'm coming!
00:03:45I'm coming!
00:03:48I'm coming!

00:06:30Oh, my God.
00:06:49Are you hitting on my girlfriend?
00:06:51What?
00:06:52No, of course not.
00:07:03It's them!
00:07:04Those two stole my money!
00:07:13Think 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 Thorn.
00:08:25Back to lose more money?
00:08:27Tell me.
00:08:28Who's your boyfriend?
00:08:37Fiancé, actually.
00:08:39Oh, wow.
00:08:41Fiancé.
00:08:43Careful.
00:08:45He looks good enough to steal.
00:08:51Hands 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.
00:09:01So, what brings you both in today?
00:09:03You here to beg for what you lost?
00:09:05Kelvin Slade.
00:09:06Breath stinks of cigarettes and whiskey.
00:09:08Everything 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.
00:09:29With what?
00:09:30That professor's salary?
00:09:31Careful.
00:09:32He's not just some professor.
00:09:34His teacher was the Phantom Ace.
00:09:42Oh, honey.
00:09:44The Phantom Ace was a masked king of the table.
00:09:47Your 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.
00:10:55You 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 experienced.
00:11:08That's why she lost.
00:11:10Besides, I'm the better player.
00:11:13I'm naturally lucky.
00:11:15Naturally lucky.
00:11:16Of 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.
00:11:37What do you know?
00:11:40To the victory goes the story.
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 were a black mask.
00:12:06Then maybe clean your monocall.
00:12:08This man is not the Phantom Ace.
00:12:11What the hell?
00:12:13There's no way he's the legendary Phantom Ace.
00:12:15The real Ace never showed his face.
00:12:17That's got to be luck.
00:12:19Right?
00:12:19Enough whispering.
00:12:21Let's play.
00:12:38All right.
00:12:39Let's see what I've got.
00:12:49Classic discards for you.

00:26:30hustlers perforate the edges of a golden set with the subtlest abnormalities

00:26:43those bumps are a language
00:26:45that 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
00:27:06don't expect better luck this time
00:27:07you playing too or are you just here for moral support
00:27:12i played last time yeah

00:27:16speaking of
00:27:17that why your first wife left
00:27:19what the fuck you just say
00:27:23guess the problem wasn't passion

00:27:28he's trying to bait me to make a mistake
00:27:29let him think he's playing you
00:27:30i'll sit back this time to keep an eye out
00:27:34be careful what you wish for
00:27:36something tells me your luck has run out
00:27:58he spent this whole game just staring at his cards
00:28:04what's his secret
00:28:23does that mean they switched hands
00:28:26you're getting better at this
00:28:27thanks
00:28:29professor what happens if they catch on to our strategy
00:28:31they're hustlers
00:28:33they're gonna realize they're being played
00:28:35they might
00:28:36but that's just when the fun begins
00:28:40she's been his eyes all along
00:28:43it's the girl
00:28:44she's his eyes
00:28:45his work life
00:28:46she's been tapping his shoulder to feed him tips
00:28:49from where she's standing
00:28:50i think she can see our cards
00:28:51but how does he come up with a winning hand every time
00:28:53i'm not sure
00:28:54he's barely moved
00:28:55could it be he's moving too fast to see with the naked eye
00:28:58only the phantom can pull something like this off
00:29:00i'm telling you
00:29:02no
00:29:03not the ace but i think we're dealing with a master hustler
00:29:06shit
00:29:06but the cards have to be on him right
00:29:08all we need to do now is force a search
00:29:18four million

00:29:39still in
00:29:43what's the interest on taking out a loan to keep playing
00:29:46you can't
00:29:50the casino owner wants people to enjoy themselves
00:29:52if you pay it off the same day it's zero interest
00:29:55and in 24 hours
00:29:5725% and then 10% for every additional day the debt is outstanding
00:30:00oh a very generous deal
00:30:02all right
00:30:03four million dollar loan
00:30:12he's definitely cheating
00:30:14he signed that contract without any hesitation at all
00:30:17either he's suicidal or he already knows the cards
00:30:20all right
00:30:22time for the showdown
00:30:33four of a kind
00:30:34thanks to viviana swapping a card with me
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
00:30:46if he beats this too
00:30:49no not even the phantom acel could be that clean
00:30:55i've got you now
00:31:00cheater

00:31:26you better
00:31:27the rules of the rusty cleaver casino state that anyone accused of cheating
00:31:31must be stripped of their clothes to confirm they're not hiding cards
00:31:34we'll get to the bottom of this
00:31:35if i find any evidence of cheating
00:31:37the culprit will lose a hand
00:31:38and the aggrieved will recoup all their losses for the day

00:38:28it's okay i just
00:38:30can't
00:38:31we can't
00:38:32but
00:38:32why
00:38:35it's not like i'm actually your student
00:38:37but
00:38:41that old thing still works
00:38:44it's not supposed to
00:38:46who is this
00:38:48i thought you looked familiar
00:38:49you're not the phantom ace
00:38:52but when i saw that tattoo i knew exactly which coward you were
00:38:56i know what you
00:38:59haven't the foggiest what you're talking about
00:39:01neither does she i'm sure
00:39:03join me at sin and cypher's vip lounge in two days time
00:39:06we'll see which one of us is the better hustler
00:39:09otherwise i tell your precious fiance that you got her daddy killed
00:39:21what is sin and cypher
00:39:24it's a casino that's even more strict on cheating than the last
00:39:28more strict than losing a hand
00:39:31what 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
00:39:43they scan you from head to toe for oddity
00:39:47nothing gets past them
00:39:50oh
00:39:51and before we go any further
00:39:52don't mention i have anything to do with the phantom ace
00:39:55then stop winning like him
00:40:01we're gonna have to search you
00:40:10it's just a hearing aid
00:40:12i've had it since i was a child
00:40:17then if you do manage to sneak something past them
00:40:20every 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
00:40:54oh fuck yeah
00:41:06see anything
00:41:07i'm not even sure what i'm looking for here
00:41:09if kelvin chose this place to cheat it means he has a mechanic
00:41:15mechanic
00:41:17hustling technique 13
00:41:29you don't need to cheat if someone else fixes your cards
00:41:32just watch that vip door and tell me where else the dealer goes

00:45:02it's the enforcers

00:50:56did i tire you out
00:50:59you have a surprising amount of energy for an older guy
00:51:05what's the plan for today
00:51:06aside from planting the deck
00:51:26what's the plan for today
00:51:40The same strategy as before should suffice.
00:51:43These guys are idiots, remember?
00:51:49Change of plans.
00:51:50This time, your bitch is gonna play too.
00:52:02Why do you look so concerned?
00:52:06Planning on cheating?
00:52:12Of course not.
00:52:13It would be very unwise to cheat in this room.
00:52:16Besides these two, the head enforcer monitors it constantly from his high tower.
00:52:28We wouldn't want you to get caught.
00:52:32Not even Briar's precious phantom ace could breathe wrong in here without Demian seeing it.
00:52:42Look at you.
00:52:43Always so willing to give a helping hand.
00:52:46Hilarious!
00:52:46Be warned, this place will kill you if you're caught as the lying rat we all know you are.
00:52:52It's okay.
00:52:54You can sit down.
00:52:55What are we gonna do?
00:52:55I can't play.
00:52:56I'm hiding cards.
00:52:56Remember, you do not want to know how I got them past security.
00:52:58Just stay calm.
00:52:59Why do you have cards on you?
00:53:00You told me to.
00:53:01You said it's the same plan as before.
00:53:02You really need to calm down.
00:53:03Your sweating is gonna get us away.
00:53:04How can I calm down?
00:53:05We're going to get caught.
00:53:15Hey, lovebirds.
00:53:16Shall we play?
00:53:21Why are you staring at me?
00:53:22Did you come back to rub him in my face?
00:53:25Uh-oh.
00:53:26Do I sense a history?
00:53:29Shove it!
00:53:48High card.
00:53:49Two pair.
00:53:50Three of a kind.
00:53:51Full house.
00:53:55Still think you're not dealing with the Phantom Ace?
00:54:00Phantom Ace!
00:54:01My ass!
00:54:02That's cheating!
00:54:04How is that possible?
00:54:05Kelvin was supposed to get the full house.
00:54:09Unless...
00:54:14That was supposed to be a king.
00:54:16Someone switched my cards.
00:54:26How the fuck did Liam win?
00:54:28I thought I was paying you to be my fixer.
00:54:31I'm just creating a false sense of security.
00:54:34Keep them guessing.
00:54:34You better be telling the truth, Regina, or it's curtains.
00:54:37Capi?
00:54:41I can't tell Kelvin or he'll kill me.
00:54:44And I can't report it without exposing my own cheating.
00:54:48In which case my bosses kill me.
00:54:51I'm so fucked!
00:54:54Fuck you, Briar!
00:54:55What?
00:54:56What did I do?
00:55:00So, shall we keep playing?
00:55:09Of course.
00:55:14I think I'm getting the pattern.
00:55:16That perforation means ace.
00:55:18All I need to do is memorize the high cards, and I can move this game back to Kelvin's favor.
00:55:28If I didn't know any better, I'd think that look you're giving our dealer betrayals a partnership of some kind.
00:55:37Now you sound paranoid.
00:55:3825 million!
00:55:40Get over yourself, or put it all on the table.
00:55:43All right.
00:55:44All in.
00:55:4550 million.
00:55:47I got it from selling all of Vivian's businesses.
00:55:51I'm trusting you, Regina.
00:55:56All right.
00:55:58Have it your way.
00:56:02This health insurance policy is worth 50 million dollars, and it's the only thing keeping my son alive.
00:56:20You're gonna regret betting that.
00:56:24What are you doing?
00:56:25You can't bet away your son's life!
00:56:28I don't want to.
00:56:31But if we don't win back everything we owe, Red Mask, me and my son are as good as dead
00:56:34anyway.
00:56:39Do you think he's bluffing?
00:56:40He wouldn't really bet that, would he?
00:56:46Hustling technique number 12, remember?
00:56:50He's hoping a highly sentimental bet will throw us off our game.
00:56:54Well, I guess it's successful.
00:56:55I'm folding right away.
00:56:58A true gambling addict will bet anything on the false notion that they're about to win.
00:57:03Once they get the itch, they cannot help themselves.
00:57:06You're not responsible for what he bets.
00:57:14I can't believe I haven't noticed it before.
00:57:17What's that?
00:57:18How cold you can be.
00:57:21I'm out.
00:57:28Time for the showdown.
00:57:30Four of a kind.
00:57:35You just lost, Professor.
00:57:38A ten.
00:57:39And a nine.
00:57:51Not so fast, Kelvin.
00:57:53Take another look at that nine.
00:57:54It's actually a six.
00:58:06How?
00:58:07How?
00:58:08But I was sure that the perforation meant a nine.
00:58:11Did you just admit to knowingly playing with a marked deck?
00:58:18All right.
00:58:20Fun's over.
00:58:23Search everyone at the table.
00:58:32The extra set of cards.
00:58:35Give them to me.
00:58:36A what?
00:58:37Now, Briar.
00:58:37It's the only way I can protect you.
00:58:45What are you two talking about?
00:58:49Did your boyfriend ever tell you what he did?
00:58:52Did what?
00:58:53What did Liam do?
00:58:54Don't listen to him, Briar.
00:58:56Just hand me the cards.
00:58:57Figures he never told you.
00:58:59Briar!
00:59:00Your boyfriend got caught cheating and your daddy took the fall.
00:59:03This asshole got your daddy killed.
00:59:06Is that true?
00:59:19That's just rich.
00:59:21Five hustlers in one game.
00:59:22It must be my lucky day.
00:59:24Cut them all!
00:59:25Please, stop!
00:59:26I have too much to live for!
00:59:29Let me go!
00:59:30I have a son!
00:59:31Do you want him to grow up without a dad?
00:59:33Some dad you are.
00:59:35You gambled away your son's life.
00:59:42Apologies for the inconvenience.
00:59:44You're all to be brought before Red Mask.
00:59:46He will be overseeing your execution.
00:59:48Listen, you're an honorable man, correct?
00:59:51Briar and I were only here to bring the other hustlers to justice.
00:59:54You'd say anything you could to save your life.
00:59:56You're not the genius you think you are if you believe Red Mask kills the hustlers you catch.
01:00:00Check the arrest ledges for people who look like Vivian and Kelvin.
01:00:02Please!
01:00:07Get him out of my sight.
01:00:11No, please!
01:00:12Just listen!
01:00:13Just listen!
01:00:21No!
01:00:22No!
01:00:22No!
01:00:23No!
01:00:23No!
01:00:25No!
01:00:26No!
