The One With All The Poker

Ranked #182 out of 236 episodes in Friends

Tired of being referred to by customers as "Excuse me" Rachel interviews for a job as an assistant buyer at Saks Fifth Avenue. She also sees another side of the usually docile Ross when the girls face the boys during a not-so-friendly game of poker.

Poker night escalates through character comedy, but 68.5 score reflects uneven pacing.
