Right, it's so Vimeo can keep the project stats together I believe. At some point, we may add another online site to offer both the original and the final (assuming there is a final at some point)

Kenny was the 1st, (though not the last) to lay odds he wasn't a crook during an interview. Once a gambler...

Appreciate it. Spending a week in the hospital was eye opening, loved the Dilaudid. Much better now.

Getting rid of extra information was important (though hard). Details make the case stronger but the film plodded and bogged down. I'm haunted by a tweet after calling the Tzvetkoff book on fact-checking/conflicted sourcing.
"Who cares? It's an enjoyable story"

Redoing all the graphics helps. They aren't great, but they're better and more watchable.

The story is now in the "correct" order, so timeline aids aren't as necessary. Biggest weakness is the amount of reading, trying to lessen that. Since only a small number of folks have seen the project, I will likely keep polishing it.

Hey, sorry I missed the screening, but it was good to talk with you in Amsterdam.

I expect from your comments this version may gain wider exposure. What is the new running time ?

I'll take look online and forward comments.

Good luck with the project.

Congrats EG on the new release, it flows much better than the original. I'll be pointing some of my non-poker friends int the direction of this, I'm keen to get an un-informed reaction.

Just watched it. Lots of good info. I wish the continuity was a little tighter, but other than that a good watch. Not to spoil, but it does make it seem like Hellmuth can dodge bullets, baby.

Great stuff. Have been following this story for a long time and finally bought the doc last night. Can't wait to tell more people this is the real story behind Runner Runner's "inspired by real events", haha.

That is the original version. To watch the final release, go to https://vimeo.com/ondemand/ultimatebeat

You can use the code freeview to access and watch it free

I'm working on something related to this but it doesn't make sense to share yet.
