This was the obvious plot hole

They still owe the money to Uncle Jimmy, so it gets them back to even, not enough to open a new restaurant. But it's so obvious, the writers had to have already planned for it.

One possibility is Carmy takes it to Jimmy and says he can have it, or he can roll it over and stake a new restaurant, which also serves to keep Jimmy involved (good for us the audience, but not Carmy).

Another option is starting S2 by showing what Carmy did with the money immediately after finding it. Maybe he took it to the casino and put it all on red. Who the fuck knows, but the writers can play around with ways they multiplied the money off-screen.
