Curtis tlells a fascinating story about a gambling addict but then it got cut off.

Anyone know how it ends? I"ll Google it I guess.

You mean the guy who voluntarily banned himself from the casino and then went to play in wig and disguise? The end of the story is in the screenplay, which you can download from A24:

Basically he plays poker in disguise and is winning big, when the table hits the bad beat jackpot. It would have been $30,000 just for sitting at the table, but with the scrutiny he would have been caught, so he leaves the place and forfeits not only the $30,000 but his chips on the table in the cash game.
