As the stakes steadily rise, eventually Frank convinces Saul to put up Buddy's contract. Frank shows his hand, he's got a full house with kings over. Saul thinks that he's won with his hand, a royal flush. The two men begin to argue over the ruling and the poker player chimes in saying, "Doesn't a straight beat a flush?" Saul Cooper then tells Frank the four of them beat the one of him, implying that Frank won't walk out of the room.
