We don't get to see the betting but all players stay in. The initial cards dealt to each are as follows (code: Bond = Bond A = Asian man B = equals large black guy L = LeChiffre For cards, the first is the rank and the letter in parenthesis is the suit, e.g. First, it appears from the betting order that Bond is the small blind and that the Asian gentleman (henceforth abbreviated 'A') is the large blind. My detailed analysis of the game is set forth below.

As far as I can tell, LeChiffre badly misplays this hand based on what he knows. Someone, probably the large African gentleman should have bet rather than checked after 4th Street was revealed Ĥ. Both Bond and LeChiffre have very questionable opening hands ģ. When the 4th community card (4th Street)is dealt, Bond cannot lose and would have to know that Ģ. In other words, I went back to analyze what the players knew and what they did at the stages of the hand.

As an amateur poker player as well as Bond fan, I have broken down the final hand to see if it actually makes sense as played.
