Goren and Eames investigate the murder of Penny Chai, a college student who had worked with a group of fellow math students in a poker club scam. They uncover the group had assisted the ringleader Ken Harris ( Ian Kahn ), to electronically change bets between the time of horse races being run and the payouts so he can win big for his backers, the Israeli mafia. Harris appears to be a man completely without fear until Goren and Eames reveal his wife has lost faith in his invulnerability and greatly increased his insurance polcy. He then pleads guilty to Penny's murder in exchange for protection.
