Titanic Jack Wins Poker
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.
Jack wins two ticket onto the Titanic from a poker game and travels as a third-class passenger with his friend Fabrizio. When Cal discovers her with Jack on the stern, Rose tells Cal that she was looking over the ship's edge in curiosity and that Jack saved her from falling.
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.
- Jack Dawson boarded the RMS Titanic in on April 10, 1912. He was a poor third-class artist and was able to board the ship only after winning tickets in a lucky game of poker against two Swedish men with tickets and playing with his friend, Fabrizio De Rossi. Jack about to be punched by Olaf.
- In Titanic, Jack wins his ticket to board the Titanic. If you thought winning at Russian Roulette, you would be wrong. He wins it playing poker. Huge Mandela effect for me, in my previous reality he wins playing Russian Roulette and it is a very tense scene.
