Just a little poker cruise with the usual suspects.
Van der Leun (V.O.)
“I've been here six months now. Blogging and waiting for a junket, getting softer.“Every minute I stay in this room I get weaker. And every minute Pundit posts again and gets stronger.
“Each time I look around the walls move in a little tighter.

“I wanted a junket, and for my sins they gave me one.
