Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney/Episode 1: Turnabout Trump

The whole episode starts in an art room. We see a mystery person draw something, but it never shows who, or what.

We then cut to a game of poker. In the end, the two show full house. One of them wins and a bottle is picked up. It looks like a bottle is hitting someone. We then see cards drop and we see what looks like an unmoving body. A phone call is made. What just happened?
