The main plot of Lucky You revolves around Huck Cheever (Eric Bana) trying to secure a $10,000 buy-in for the World Series of Poker Main Event. Adding to the pressure is Huck’s father, L. C. Cheever (Duvall), who is a two-time Main Event winner and an accomplished player with whom Huck has a complicated relationship.
Eventually, Huck manages to get the $10,000 he needs (and actually holds on to it for long enough to buy into the tournament), and things culminate with the father-son duo playing at the final table of the Main Event.
This poker movie has some great moments, including numerous appearances from big-name poker players like Sam Farha, Mike Matusow, Daniel Negreanu, Barry Greenstein, and many more.
