What do you do when you are staring straight down at the abyss that your life has become? This is the question Anthony Albergo asked himself the night the New York Yankees lost game seven of the 2001 World Series and he had to come up with the $50,000 that he owed local mob boss Frankie Feliciani. "A New York Hold'em" is the story of a young man who lets his gambling addiction ruin his life. He has lost everything-including his parents, who were brutally murdered-to this vicious habit and now he needs to decide if he wants to walk away from this nightmare or seek revenge against Frankie and his nephew Bull for his losses. There's only one catch; he has just five days to either come up with the money or a plan to settle the score. For all you people out there that think playing Texas Hold'em and gambling for a living is a great life, think again. It is much easier on television and in the movies because in the real world, the house always wins and they want their money-no matter what.
