This episode's five stars were all from the show The West Wing. (edit)

Allison: How do you use your chips to your advantage?
Kevin: You throw them at the opponent. Hit them in the eyes, preferably. (edit) John: I think a card game's a card game. And you know the variable is lady luck. It's really like life -- what cards are you being dealt. (edit) John: Cheat or bluff. I don't cheat. But bluff, yeah, occasionally sure. (edit) Martin: I have no style when it comes to gambling. I just do it. (edit)

Match Results:
1st Place - Richard Schiff
2nd Place - John Spencer
3rd Place - Timothy Busfield
4th Place - Allison Janney
5th Place - Martin Sheen (edit) Allison Janney came back to the table, gave Richard a cigar and a massage to show her support after Richard went all in on one hand. (It is unusual for a player who already lost to come back from the loser's lounge in the middle of the game.) (edit) Kevin Pollak kept on using lingo associated with the government or the executive office such as "politicos", "administration's term", "impeachment", and "Oval Office of Poker". (edit) Richard, who was hoping to change his luck, kept on changing his look. At one point, he was even wearing three pairs of glasses all at the same time and an inverted cap. (edit) Allison and Martin's pick to win the game was Timothy Busfield. (edit)
