Goofs

Factual errors: In a scene, there's a showdown between Jack and The German. The community cards show 6d 8d 2d 2s 9d. Jack has Kd Qd making a King high flush. Phil Gordon makes a comment that the only hand that can beat this is an Ace high flush. But, there are actually 10 hands better than King high flush. The better hands would be, in descending order: 7d + 10d to make a 10 high straight flush 5d + 7d to make a 9 high straight flush 2h + 2c to make four of a kind, 2's 9 + 9 to make a full house 9's full of 2's 8 + 8 to make a full house 8's full of 2's 6 + 6 to make a full house 6's full of 2's 2 + 9 to make a full house 2's full of 9's 2 + 8 to make a full house 2's full of 8's 2 + 6 to make a full house 2's full of 6's Ad + any card to make an Ace high flush.
