In this mockumentary, the Grand Championship of Poker is being held in Las Vegas. Newly released from rehab "One Eyed Jack" Faro (Woody Harrelson) is trying to win the $10,000,000 in order to keep his grandfather's hotel casino away from the wrecking ball. His task is not easy as he joins five other eccentric characters–siblings Lainie and Larry Shwartzman (Cheryl Hines and David Cross), autistic Harold Melvin (Chris Parnell), internet poker player Andy Andrews (Richard Kind), and Las Vegas regular "Deuce" Fairbanks (Dennis Farina)–duking it out at the table while other players and relatives provide amusing moments.
