Five-card stud

A friend from the gym was telling us about a fundraising poker tournament he attended recently at the Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum in New York. One of the celebrities to be present was Australian singer, dancer and actor Hugh Jackman ("Wolverine" in the X-Men series). So when my friend got a call saying that "Hugh" was looking forward to meeting him at the tournament, he was more than a little flattered. Imagine his disappointment when it turned out that one of the fellows organizing the event was also named "Hugh."
My friend did get to meet talk-show host Montel Williams, though.
The tournament raised money for the Wall Street Warfighters Foundation, whose mission is "to identify, develop, and place disabled veterans in long-term professions in the financial services industry following their military service."
