On Sunday, the long-awaited poker episiode of The Simpsons was finally broadcasted: "Gone, Abie, Gone." The main theme focused on Abe (Homer's dad) and a mistress he met while performing music at various bars during his 30s. Meanwhile Homer is burned while ordering onion rings at Krusty Burger. He sues the restaurant, gets $5,000, then deposits the money into an online site because Moe tells him that it's safer than a normal bank account.
Homer tells Lisa that the money in the poker account is for her College Fund. As you can imagine, she's disgusted how her dad has invested her future and she becomes even more angry when she finds Bart playing on the account. She tries to win back the $60 or so her brother lost, and it doesn't take long before she becomes hooked.
Jennifer Tilly makes an appearance when Lisa watches an instructional DVD. She reads a few books and runs the $5k to $360k. However, she eventually loses an $800,000 pot to Sideshow Bob with full house vs four of a kind. In the end of the episode, it's revealed that Bart played under the Sideshow Bob alias, and the poker site removes all winnings when they discover that both were under the age of 18. Lisa is happy though as the poker site returns the original $5,000.
