As an enormous fan of the show, it was hard to pick a favorite. So I'll say it's a tie between this and Television Terror.
Gamblers Reno (Lance Henriksen) and Sam (Kevin Tighe) have been at each other's throats for years until, one fateful night, they decide to settle things for good.
The episode is extremely well acted by both Tighe and Henriksen, and its the acting that keeps you glued to your seat until the humorous, if a little contrived, ending.
Cringe worthy scenes include an ill-fated game of Russian Roulette and several digits being chopped off as the gamblers are reduced to playing chop poker. 10 out of 10 may seem a bit much, but I have a peculiar fondness for this episode and it definitely holds up well on repeat viewings.
