The Death Stairs
Lou Edelstern had 130,000 dollars in front of her when she called the highest card in play. She was playing against a poker player with an all-in hand and he had about 800 something thousand on his own. There's a rule in poker that if the players agree the final cards that come out, you can play them twice and split the hand. You can do pretty much whatever you want if there's only two people in a hand. Lou has claimed that she was pulled out of the game and forced to speak to him in a dark hallway. Garrett denies that this version of events happened, but Lou in any case felt threatened and offered to give him the money.
