The 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic recently passed, marking that fateful night when the famous ocean liner struck an iceberg and sunk to the bottom of the northern Atlantic.
While poker is hardly prominent in Titanic -- just a two-minute scene in a more than three-hour movie -- the game does serve a particular purpose with regard to the plot, and even helps introduce a thematic point about the importance of luck the film not-so-subtly advances throughout its lengthy running time.
Indeed, Jack punctuates his slowroll by showing tens full of aces to win the pot and tickets. An angry Olaf unexpectedly punches Sven -- not Jack -- and soon Jack and Fabrizio dash onto the ship just a moment before it departs.
In an interview given years later to Titanic historian Walter Lord, Harris filled in a few more details about the poker game, explaining that they used $1 chips and that she had done quite well for herself. In fact, when she decided to leave momentarily to return to her stateroom she remembers being $90 ahead.
In the Liberty article, Harris suggests the fall actually indirectly saved her life, saying that if she had not been sedated at the time of the crash she would have resisted getting in a lifeboat when her husband implored her to do so. Henry sadly did not survive.
Of course, as the 1997 film also depicts, the story of the Titanic has also long involved efforts to find the sunken ship and discover its many secrets. And as it turns out, that part of the story, too, has a poker connection.
A 1977 Sports Illustrated article profiled an amateur player from Texas named Cadillac Jack Grimm and his quest to win that year's World Series of Poker Main Event. Grimm ended up drawing a seat next to that year's eventual winner, Doyle Brunson.
He also is described as having funded various expeditions such as one to discover Noah's Ark and others to find the Loch Ness monster and Bigfoot. The implication is that those quests were as futile as his attempt to beat top pros like Brunson and others at the WSOP.
He'd eventually launch three expeditions during the early 1980s to try to locate the sunken ship. Grimm would never earn official credit for finding the ship, although his searches were said by some to have provided valuable clues for later seekers.
Pellegrino has a point. However, hindsight suggests that as happens in poker, the sinking of the Titanic and the tragedy that ensued resulted from a combination of bad luck and a deficiency of skill, with the event made all the more tragic given that the stakes were so high.
