Molly's Game (2017 Film) Irony

Name Names

Molly is going to get a deal which will allow her to keep her money and get out of jail time so long as she gives her hard drives over to the authorities. Ironically, she declines the deal as she won't let the information about her players get out. Still she is only sentenced to 200 hours of community service and a $200,000 fine.

Player X

Player X is the best player at the tables and the one everyone wants to take down. He provides the pull for the game and the reason for why Molly seeks to get higher profile players. Ironically, he is also the reason the game comes to a crashing halt, as he manipulates Molly and her game in order to watch her burn simply because he enjoys it.

Time to go

Player X has funded a not so well to do player, Harlan, after they lost a large sum of money they can't pay back. X decides to lend them the money to keep Harlan in the game. Ironically, Player X has done so in order to ruin the man's life while watching him attempt to win back money that was impossible for him to win back because he wasn't a good enough player.

Taking off the top

Molly sets up games in New York, but she's starting to be unable to cover the costs of the games. In order to do so she starts taking a percentage of the wins which will start paying her. Ironically, this is also illegal and leads to the potential for big trouble.

Father

Molly has not been close with her father as he was overbearing in her training to become an Olympic skiier during her youth. Ironically, when things get hard for her with the FBI, her dad shows up and reconciles with her and is there for her through her trial.
