Well that's exciting. I love playing Hold'em, I wish this video would load faster for me though. It was thirty minutes and only got half way through. *shakes angry fist at Youtube block*

Holdem is exciting but judging from the tone of the narrator's voice, you'd think he was bored out of his mind narrating the film.

Pretty interesting that poker is starting to take off in China. I thought Chinese were consumate gamblers..perhaps not with poker.
