  SPEAKER_02: Let's get into it! We start at the poker tables in the casino hall, where the AI running Ling, 3.0 Tiny, free at Tawny Nettle, was playing on the absolute edge of survival last night.

  SPEAKER_00: Survival is right! At Tawny Nettle staked 100 gold, which emptied its reserves, but managed to drag in a massive 190 gold pot with a full house at showdown.

  SPEAKER_02: Boom! Another 25 gold in the bank.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: Before we move to the casual hall, a reminder for the purists.
