Blinds: 30/60

On a flop of {k-Spades}{10-}{j-Spades}, three players got all in. Michael Cera had {q-Spades}{10-Spades} and turned the {9-Spades} to make a straight flush against Jon Hamm, who had {a-}{10-}, and Jeff Garlin, who had {j-}{3-}.

"Guys, that was a straight flush," Cera typed into the chat. "Why was it not televised?"

"It will be!" Hamm replied.

"This is the prejudice I'm talking about," Cera replied.

In 2017, Cera played a character called “Player X” in the poker flick Molly’s Game. In the movie, he portrayed an aggressive and accomplished poker player, and today he gets the chance to see if those character traits apply to the actor himself.

As he said in the film, “You know, I don't like playing poker.”

Molly Bloom: “Why do you play?”

Player X: “I like destroying lives.”

Aside from Molly’s Game, the Canadian actor is well known for his roles in Superbad, Juno, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, and Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. He also played George-Michael Bluth in the popular TV series Arrested Development.
