The scene re-opens back at the poker table, where Jack Ryan is sitting…the person that he saw across the table from him was Tara Fenix, who we knew was fairly good at her own poker game. A smile came to her face as she took her seat and set her chips down in front of her while staring across the table at Jack Ryan -- the other players were putting their chips in as the dealer asked Tara if she’d like to post the small and big blinds so she could get in on this hand…she nodded, and tossed a few chips into the center of the table. Her eyes still examining the newcomer of the Xtreme Hardcore Federation. Several seconds later, the cards were dealt out and she glanced down to take a look at her cards while finally starting to speak…
“Glad to see another poker player in the doors of the XHF.”
She said with a smile, and her eyes looked up to meet those of Jack Ryan’s.
“I’m Tara Fenix. You must be…”
Before she could finish her statement, he had interrupted her.
“Jack Ryan.”
A smirk came across her face as she glanced down at the cards again, making sure she has the two cards vivid in her mind. She took a deep breath, and brought her eyes back up.
“That’s right…Angel has told me quite a bit about you, so I thought that I would come here to welcome you to the XHF. This must be your wife?”
“Alexis Ryan…”
Tara extends her hand out a little to shake the hand of the wife of Jack Ryan, and nods her head.
“A pleasure to meet you.”
After everybody has posted their blinds, or checks -- absolutely no raises -- we see the flop. A Seven of Clubs, Queen of Spades, and Six of Diamonds comes up. Both Jack and Tara look at their cards as the bets start to go down. Three people have folded, but Jack and Tara both remain in the game by matching the bets that the other players have put in.
“I have to be completely honest with you, though, I didn’t come here JUST to welcome you to the XHF…”
She spoke while we saw the next card come up. A Queen of Clubs. Tara nodded her head a little, as she glanced at the other players to see any facial reactions from them as everyone has checked up to her…she starts the bet off, up five hundred. A few others match the bet, including Jack Ryan, and only one person folds this time.
“Angel told me that you wanted to talk to me about something. So…came to see what you wanted to talk about.”
“Well, we can talk about that a little bit later. If that’s fine with you?”
“Absolutely.”
The table went around to Jack Ryan with just checks, before he put in the bet. Only four hundred, but it was something…both he and Tara looked around at the other players, then at each other, more curious as to what the other had in their pocket rather than what they needed to talk about. The person directly after Jack Ryan matched his bet, but the one after him had raised -- Tara answered that raise with a raise of her own, and the betting was up to two-thousand. The one person left that was after Tara had folded, and it was back to Jack Ryan to answer. He matched, and so did the people after him. We saw the final card come up. Six of Hearts.
“Besides, this camera has been stalking me a while…they expect me to actually say something about mine and Angel’s opponents for this Monday. What can I really say about them? I’ve dealt with Hierarchy…I’ve dealt with Reeshi…I’ve dealt with just about everybody that has gotten in my way while I signed my contract with the XHF! Sixteen wins. Four losses. One draw. Eight wins in a row -- I’m on the hottest streak than anyone inside the XHF. Do they really think that some nobodies like GQ Money and Obsidian are going to end that? No. Angel and I are going to remain undefeated in tag-team competition. I’m going to go to nine and ‘O’. Simple.”
The final bets come around, and both Jack Ryan and Tara Fenix have gone all in…only one other player aside from them have stuck in, and they are the first to show. Two-pair, Queens and Sevens. Tara Fenix shows her cards, revealing to have a Full House -- Sixes full of Queens…a smirk comes to her face as she wonders what Jack Ryan has, and he drops his cards to reveal the same exact hand. Sixes full of Queens. Both of them split the pot as the scene fades.
