Now, after losing tons of his international terrorist clients' money, Le Chiffre is hell-bent on winning it all back at a marathon high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale in Montenegro, unaware that Bond is determined to bankrupt the greedy banker at the card table. However, as the nerve-racking Texas hold 'em tournament ratchets up the tension, James Bond will soon find himself in a tight spot as Le Chiffre is a force to reckon with.
