Rounders is probably one of the most famous gambling movies of the past few decades. See the action unfold in a clip of the scene below. The former lands a higher full house with Aces full of sixes, while Bond’s 5 and 7 of spades give him the highest hand at the table with a straight flush. It now comes down to the banker and Bond. Player two one-ups his opponent with a full house with eights full of aces. Player one lands an Ace-high flush on spades. Each player goes all-in to put the pot at a whopping $115 million in total. The game finale comes down to four players. Bond enters the high roller poker game to thwart a mob banker’s chances of winning money to fund terrorism. It was decided that Holdem was a far more relatable game to the average movie-going audience member in 2006. However, the 2006 film reproduction of the storyline changes the game to Texas Holdem Poker instead. The original Casino Royale novel depicted 007 as a savvy baccarat player.
While James Bond 007 is more well-known for his death-defying stunts and super-agent skills, this charismatic character puts his people-reading skills to work to help him win millions of dollars in a high-stakes poker game. Credit: Metro Goldwyn Meyer & Columbia Pictures
