Over the past century, poker has permeated pop culture, especially when it comes to motion pictures. Long before the “Poker Boom”, and even before the World Series of Poker (WSOP) was a thing, poker had already made its big screen debut.
Over the decades, poker fans have been treated to a plethora of poker movies, some good and others not so much. Some well-received poker films include the western comedy Maverick (1994), Survivor host Jeff Probst’s debut film Finder’s Fee (2001), the improv-inspired The Grand (2007), indie comedy darling Hitting the Nuts (2010), and the high-profile Hollywood flick Molly’s Game (2017).
All of those are among the best poker movies of all time, and if this article was “Top 10” instead of “Top 5 Poker Movies,” chances are they’d make the final list. However, the PokerNews crew got together, along with input from social media, to determine the top five must-watch poker movies of all time.
Conor Beresford raised from under the gun to 10,000 and called a three-bet from Sean Winter on the button to 32,000.
The two players then checked the flop, before Beresford fired 25,000 on the turn. Winter called to see the river, where Beresford used a time bank before announcing a bet of 175,000.
Winter used a time bank card of his own before tossing in the call, then mucked his hand when Beresford revealed for a turned set of eights.
Winter was able to recover some of those chips by four-betting Juan Pardo on the next hand, but it was Beresford adding to his growing chip lead.
