If they were sick, they should have stayed home in bed, instead of playing poker.

I'll always take time to watch the final poker game in Cincinnati Kid; it's a compelling scene in an otherwise not-so-hot movie, like the chariot race in Ben-Hur. BUT, it's spoiled by the clumsy montage of voiceovers from the spectators ("He's got the jack!" "No,he's trying to buy the pot", etc.). I presume somebody thought it necessary to clue the non-poker savvy audience into what was happening. The two marathon pool games in The Hustler did it right.
