"Gin rummy," Sklar yelled out as he threw onto the felt. Sklar had made the nut low and a full house, enough to scoop this pot.
"I don't care about the bracelet! Just give me the money," said Sklar with a wry smile.
The colorful gentleman who's been all smiles every day added, "I've been gambling every day for the last 45 years. All I care about are boats and houses and taking trips."
The players at the table laughed and offered to take the bracelet from Sklar, who's in control of this final table for now.
