At the casino, Zach offered to gamble for what he loved "most." It became clear, as Kendall tried to discourage Zach from antagonizing Ryan, that Kendall believed she was what Zach loved most. Ryan corrected Kendall; he insisted that Zach had meant the casino. Kendall was visibly hurt when Zach didn't dispute Ryan's claim.
Ryan accepted Zach's challenge. The two men sat down to play poker. Erica walked in during the first hand. Ryan was victorious. Zach went to the bar for a drink before the second hand was dealt. Kendall followed Zach. She begged him to reconsider his desperate attempt to win the casino from Ryan.
Zach accused Kendall of knowing about Ryan's plan to gain control of Cambias Industries and the casino. Kendall insisted that she had learned of it when she had seen the headline in a newspaper. Zach didn't believe her. He told Kendall that, win or lose, he was done with her.
Kendall asked Zach if he felt better after insulting her. Zach claimed that he hadn't meant to offend her. He congratulated Kendall on going after what she wanted: Ryan. Zach wondered how things would fare for Kendall and Ryan when Ryan finally realized that he had only himself to blame for Greenlee's demise. Zach believed that Greenlee wouldn't have felt compelled to save the Slater marriage if Ryan had not told Greenlee that Zach had an affair with Reese.
Kendall warned Zach not to go there. Zach pointed out that a kiss was a far cry from an affair. Kendall disagreed with Zach's view of the betrayal.
Meanwhile, Erica cautioned Ryan not to take advantage of Kendall's pain. Ryan denied the allegation, which prompted Erica to threaten to "smack the smug off" of Ryan's face. Ryan dared Erica to follow through with her impulse, but she ignored him. Ryan insisted that he was helping Kendall; he continued to blame Zach for all of Kendall's problems.
Ryan and Zach returned to the table for another hand of poker; Zach won. As the men took another break, Kendall told Erica that Zach had petitioned for a divorce. While Kendall went to talk to Ryan, Erica approached Zach. She asked Zach to teach Ryan "a lesson he won't soon forget."
Ryan and Zach sat down for the third round of poker. Ryan realized that he had a winning hand. He invited Zach to walk away. Ryan promised not to think less of Zach if he accepted the offer, but Zach declined. Instead, Zach put everything on the line, including his wedding ring. Ryan followed Zach's lead. When they revealed their hands, Zach emerged victorious. Ryan promised retribution before he stormed off.
Zach scooped up his winnings, minus his wedding ring, then left the table.
