Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt seems likely the character of Joey Frost is loosely based on Stewie Unger, the youngest-ever WSOP champ in the 1980s, also blessed with a terrific memory and ability to read opponents.
- GoofsJoey Frost's drivers license shows his date of birth as being January 8, 1985 and the issue date for the license is April 25, 1999. That would have made Joey only 14 years old at the time, one year too young for even a learners permit and two years too young for a drivers license. This episode takes place late in 2005 making Joey only 20, one year too young to be legally allowed onto a gambling boat or into a bar.

Featured review
Good episode, great acting
I think the whole "Law and Order" franchise is consistently a model of story-telling. So this is again a well-written episode. This said, I don't know that I would rate it overall one of the best (that's a high bar). But I certainly agree that Lou Taylor Pucci holds his own with d'Onofrio, and for similar reasons - a kind of controlled edginess that bespeaks a far more complex character beneath the surface. The scene where Goren is sitting on a small table with one leg folded under him is exquisite.
I'm surprised Pucci hasn't done more in recent years. But he's got time.
I also loved the thug who's always worried about his wife (couldn't track the name); really compelling in his anxious stupidity.
Some fine acting overall; but the series has had better stories.
