Was this the one out of Quebec some years ago? However, the guy
then told everyone how he managed to win a lot of money, so they
denied him the chip cash-in. So he sued. Never heard how it turned
out.

All of the episodes were very cool.

The poker player was an online poker player. His name was a pretty
good one, Chris Moneymaker. He not only finished in the top 10,
he finished FIRST! This feat was duplicated again by another
player. You can find info by googling for him.
The blackjack card counting team was probably the MIT team, someone
above mentions the book(s) written about it. Interesting read.
