Unlucky me

I just suffered through a viewing of "Lucky You." I'm not going to waste space plucking that turkey bald, but if you need any indication what a stinker it is, then imagine ths:

It's the WSOP final table. It's 2003, lipstick cameras are being used but our hero refuses to show his hole cards (duhn, duhn, duhn). Three players are left - our hero, his nemesis and negligent father "LC" (Robert Duvall - so wasted in this role... must've needed the paycheck), and an "internet player" playing in his first tournament. Oh, how original...

The hero, Huck, is in a hand with his Dad (it's important to note the Huck has never beat his dad...). We have a few rounds of silly betting and banter to the river.

[[EDIT]] I screwed up the sequence but it isn't important. The important thing is, on the river there's an all-in push and a call all-in. LC has Huck covered. If Huck loses the hand, he's out in third place.

LC flips his kings, Huck mucks. Insert looooong very dramatic pregnant pauses between actions.

Now, what's wrong with that picture?

I'll still french kiss the first person who answers that the next time I see you if you figure it out. And if I'm wrong about the rules... then you can french kiss me the next time you see me.
