Hi, just wondering if anybody caught that poker documentary. It focused on the guy who invited the pocket cam to view a players whole cards which revolutionized poker. It became possible for non-players to enjoy the experience at home vs just watching a card table until showdowns to view cards. Another interesting segment in the film is the "money maker effect" that happened when Chris Moneymaker ( that is his real last name fyi) won the 2003 world championship after a $40 satellite. Then last but not least captures how online poker ( paradise or party poker being the first ever) is the latest revolution in the game. the documentary ends with a segment on DoJ banning online cards. Wish I could remember the name of the film, If anybody does it is worth watching.
