The Sophisticated Poker Player was one of three poker players in the poker tournament Wario and Luigi were playing against. He had never lost until facing Wario. Despite being shocked at his first defeat, he accepts that Wario won fair and square. After "Old Shoe" accuses Wario of cheating and pulls out a gun, the sophisticated poker player puts a gun to "Old Shoe"'s head in an attempt to stop the nonsense. The cowboy and Sir Drake Saint Jupiter III run away, followed by Wario and Luigi. The two shoot each other down.
