Going all in: Oscar Isaac was seen in the trailer for the upcoming film The Card Counter, which made its debut on YouTube on Tuesday
The trailer begins with William Tell, portrayed by the 42-year-old actor, entering a hotel room and covering everything in it in white sheets while ruminating on the emotional weight he has had to carry.
The gambler then enters a casino and encounters La Linda, played by Tiffany Haddish, who proposes a partnership between the two.
A flashback to Tell's prison stay is shown, and it is revealed that he learned how to count cards while incarcerated.
The former convict is seen speaking to Cirk, portrayed by Tye Sheridan, and tells him that poker 'is all about waiting...then something happens.'

Plotline: The feature is focused on the dynamic between a gambler and a young man who sets out to exact revenge on a mutual enemy
When the pair visit a conference, they attend a lecture headed by Major John Gordo, played by Willem Dafoe, who previously mistreated the two and set Tell up as the 'fall guy' in a pre-planned crime.
Cirk proposes exacting revenge on the Antichrist actor's character, although the embattled gambler tells him that he needs to 'back off.'
When the young man speaks to La Linda about Tell, she describes her collaborator as 'a mystery...and I don't know if that's a bad thing or a good thing.'
Stacked cast: In addition to Isaac, the film features the talents of Tiffany Haddish, Tye Sheridan and Willem Dafoe
