Down to the Felt

Out of money.
"Down to the Felt" is a term commonly used in poker and other card games to describe a situation where a player has lost most or all of their chips and is left with very little to play with. It can also refer to a player who has gone "all-in," meaning they have bet all their remaining chips in a hand. In a broader sense, the phrase can imply that a player is at a critical point in the game, often facing elimination or a significant disadvantage. The "felt" refers to the fabric covering the table, which is where the game is played.
