The first offer from a TV network was for $500,000, but Ishimaru and company turned it down.

Had to pass. They pay their rent in Euro baby.

Great sense of humor. Very elaborate set-up. We are being punk'd. Right?

Agree 100% and thanks for the correction. I meant "everyone in the poker world and particularly those who post on 2p2".

Despite the mixed reaction from the poker community, the show's producer explained, "The majority of the reaction has been very positive, especially from Europe. ....

Awesome vid, can't wait to watch more of this.
My favorite character is chico loco.. or maybe the bully, hell I can't decide!
Next time I go to my local casino, I'll def use that "does it scare you?" line when I have the ace of spade.

That video made my soul cry.

I'd rather watch a beheading video.

o/u on how many months before "I pay my rent in Euros baby" eclipses "ship it holla" "one time" and "sick" as the most common phrase used by 22 year old d-bags in casinos?

I'll take the over, whatever it is. Even 22yr old d-bags know a crap meme when they see it.

There's no 'test run pilots'.

Except you ignored ProfessionalPoker's post where he (Producer) confirmed that's exactly what it is. Whether it will be effective or not is another question. (hell no)

The fact that he disabled comments and ratings unfortunately lends credence that this was a serious effort.

Hi, I'm the producer of the above piece of cheese and came here to spam it to 2+2 using this brand new user account. This is a sizzle reel to present to investors and program distributors. Please evaluate it for the concept and poker celebs associated. Disregard the horrible writing, acting, directing, editing and characters that no sane person could relate to.

This can not be confirmed. After extensive investigation, the court has come to the conclusion this information is not credible.

The concept for the show sounds interesting. This "sizzler" was lol though.

I feel bad for Johnny Chan. He's obviously a smart guy and I've seen him have normal conversations on TV before but those lines he had were awful. Didn't anyone realize that having him walk down the stairs while delivering his lines was not a good idea?

Not trying to knock Chan. I'm sure he can walk and talk at the same time

I genuinely believe that acting is difficult but looks easy.
