And Darren is like, yeah, sure, of course, anything you need, buddy.
But he's not about to oversee a poker game himself.
So he turns to his assistant, Molly, and he puts her in charge of it.
Here's the thing about that, though.
Molly, she doesn't know anything about poker, much less running a whole game.
So she goes home and she starts Googling stuff about how to play and, like, what kind of music do poker players like?
And she figures it out and she sets the whole game up.
And people show up to the game, like, important people, like...
billionaires and Wall Street investors and A-list celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and of course, Tobey Maguire.
And you know, they all play and I assume everyone has a good time.
And at the end of the first night, Molly has made $3,000 in tips.
Just from like being nice and making sure everyone is comfortable.
And this is great money for her.
So it's at this point that she realizes this whole underground poker thing might be something big for her.
Like it might be an opportunity to get connected to all these big shot people and really make a name for herself.
So she gets to work and she starts studying poker obsessively.
She learns the rules and the strategies and the language and she gets really good at all this.
She also starts doing more than just being nice.
Not only is she now fixing cocktails and helping players settle their accounts, but she also starts managing the player list and hiring massage girls, you know what I'm saying?
So now, she's in charge of all of this.
