Taylor's final hand is a recreation of the greatest call in the history of the game, by Stuey Ungar

Well, that's a fun fact, but maybe it happened before, on a saloon card table in Deadwood, SD, or Robstown, Texas, and no one lived to write about it.

TODD: Do you want to know a secret? Your boss bet me a million dollars that you would outlast me. So, you fuck up, it's a million dollar mistake. . TAYLOR: Good to know. . TODD: How do you think he's gonna feel remembering that you cost him a mill every time he looks at you? I mean, no pressure. Don't let me get under your skin. . TAYLOR: You have no clue what is under my skin, and I am certain that a million dollars in either direction, to Mr. Axlerod or you, is entirely insignificant. And in the continuum, 10,000 years of human history, this card game and the Alpha Cup what does it mean? By 2090, we'll all be gone, every last one of us, unless we've reached the singularity, and at that point, will money matter? . TODD: Yeah, I've seen "Cosmos," too.

Great writing
The way they filmed the poker scenes in this episode was amazing. I was getting too annoyed with directors only showing the middle cards and then using the revelation of cards as the big "shock". But the way they did it just felt like we were more involved with the game and what cards were needed to get a winning hand.
I have played in that tournament its awesome
Awesome episode, aww 3 haters that were on the smurf's team :D
Its a great short scene when Lara and Wendy meet at the bar. Both of them having a dig at each other! Also the both of them are so mega mega hot!!

Yeah, I forgot about that segment.
Taylor is my favorite part of this show. Probably the most interesting character on a television show, since Walter White or Saul Goodman (aka James "Slippin' Jimmy" McGill)

Please, forced pronouns and monotone borderline autistic line reading. You call that interesting.

Really well written character I agree. They were able to make a nonbinary character without it being her entire personality. Truth be told, I barely ever even notice it. In the hands of lesser writers it’d be front and center of every one of their interactions with the rest of the cast.
He had more chips prior to this hand so why didn't he continue short stacked?

Zero, she can’t even figure out her own biological sex as a female. dialogues are specifically written for the character of hers just to have the mindless public especially the young ones convinced that non binary can be smart.

Bad assbitch! Love her character! Wow. 👏👏👏👏👏🎱🔮🎼
Ya... none of those financial analogies made any sense. I think he just started repeating random jargon he read in the script.
