20 Things You Somehow Missed In Titanic
17. Jack Would've Won The Poker Game Without Drawing A Card
Jack and Fabrizio's (Danny Nucci) journey aboard the Titanic begins after Jack wins two third-class tickets in a poker game at the start of the movie.
The way the scene plays out suggests that Jack only wins after drawing a game-winning card, yet if we take a quick look at Jack and Sven's (Dan Pettersson) hands, it's clear that Jack's already won regardless.
We see that Sven's hand was just two pair of eights and sixes, and Jack's was very clearly superior to that, being just one card away from a Full House and all.
It's some acceptable excess dramatisation at the end of the day, yet the general public has such a poor grasp of poker anyway that this is easily missed.
