The card game continued on. Itzal and Whit shared the lead, neither gaining a firm advantage over the other. However, the other contestants at the table were steadily losing. Itzal surveyed its winnings. There was a fair pile of chips but also some other items of interest. (most of )An odd pocketwatch, a small animal, and a ornate pendant had managed to work their way into Itzal's winnings.
The cards came up, giving Itzal a King pair. Itzal raised, and won the hand. The rest of the pocketwatch materialized, and two other contestants left the table, leaving Whit, Itzal, and a Man with an over-developed forehead and a tuxedo.
Itzal drew out the Penrose Triangle he had created last round as a demonstration to Whit. It placed it on the chip counter. The display for the number of chips started flipping, until all the digits were spinning. The device was obviously unable to figure out the impossible object. "Let's raise the stakes, shall we?"
