Drama
A Swiss crime thriller and psychological drama with a difference - the action follows a high stakes poker game secretly watched by the police. Half a million francs are in the pot but more than just money is at stake.
New Year's Eve, Geneva: croupier Vincent Torrella has organised a private poker game for a special group of players. But little do the participants know that there's more than just money at stake.
Agent Hans Koller probes a case of industrial espionage in which stolen HR files were lost in a game of cards. Vincent presides over the poker game's early stages as the first player is knocked out.
A power cut plunges the game into darkness and the police surveillance team are left wondering whether it's intentional. As the game continues, the cameras reveal there's a cheat among the group.
Agent Koller and Clara Pestalozzi have spotted there's a cheat. As they struggle to unearth his identity, the other players grow suspicious. Meanwhile, another participant is knocked out of the game.
Koller calls Rosset in to identify a suspect, but has reason to question whether he is telling the truth. The police have a mole within the game who finds an encrypted laptop hidden in the apartment.
The police crack the laptop's encryption code only to discover there's another transaction taking place. The players close in around the cheat and Julie knocks him out of the game with Vincent's help.
Vincent has paid Julie to pose as Simon's long-lost daughter, but under pressure she can't manage to keep up the pretence. The Swat team are left floundering when they fail to pick up the cheat.
Eldin continues to bate Manuel but is left reeling when he is knocked out of the card game. Patrick's quick reflexes threaten to give the game away. The Swat team decide to storm the building.
Shocked to discover they're in the wrong building, the police desperately try to locate the poker venue. Vincent comes clean with Marie and together they manage to convince Manuel to escape.
A quick getaway is scuppered by Eldin but Vincent is handed a lifeline. Having identified each of the players, the police now have their homes under surveillance. The mole has one final hand to play.

Late Night Poker is a British television series that helped popularize poker in the 2000s. It used "under the table" cameras that enabled the viewer to see each player's cards. The show became a cult hit on Channel 4 in the UK when it first aired in 1999. The show originally ran for six series between 1999 and 2002. After a couple of spin-off series, Late Night Poker Ace and Late Night Poker Masters, it returned in 2008.
The Maverick boys - Bret, Bart, Beau and Brent - are a clan of well-dressed dandies, gamblers who'd much rather make their money playing cards than messing up their fine clothing with actual work. Sly and clever, none of the Mavericks are much for acts of derring do, but they can be courageous when the situation calls for it. Most often, however, they live by their wits and considerable charm.
Poker After Dark is an hour-long poker television program on NBC.

The host for season 3 was Marianela Pereyra, and Leeann Tweeden took over starting with season 4. All seasons have contained voice-over commentary by Oliver "Ali" Nejad. The program returned to American television over the NBC Sports Network on March 5, 2012 with previously aired repeats, with unaired episodes from season 7 airing for the first time beginning June 4, 2012. NBCSN schedules the show on weeknights at midnight, although the start time varies due to overruns by sporting events.
Celebrity Poker Showdown is a celebrity game show on the cable network Bravo. It was a limited-run series in which celebrities played poker, and ran eight tournaments during its five-season run. In each show, five celebrities played a no limit Texas hold 'em tournament for charity. The winners of each qualifying game won a silver commemorative poker chip and advanced to the championship game. The winner of the championship game won the grand prize for his or her charity as well as a gold commemorative poker chip. Each tournament featured 25 celebrities and consisted of six episodes, five qualifying games and one championship game. In an interview with TV Guide, host Dave Foley said that a ninth tournament is not being produced, as Bravo did not order any new episodes.
