Top 5 Poker Movies You Must Watch

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

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.

The river came the {4-Hearts} and Lee checked. Mikolaitis moved all in for 18,500 effective. Lee was not prepared to call for his tournament life and decided to fold.

Petrangelo Active Early On

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Nick Petrangelo
Nick Petrangelo

Nick Petrangelo opened to 3,000 from early position and Adrian Mateos put in a three-bet to 8,000 from the hijack. The rest of the table folded and Petrangelo came along.

The flop fanned out {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Petrangelo checked to Mateos who continued for 11,000. Petrangelo quickly folded and the pot was sent to the Spaniard.

A couple hands later the action folded to Sean Winter who limped in from the small blind and Petrangelo checked his option from the big blind.

"Do you have queens?" joked Winter before the flop of {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} came out. Winter led out for 1,500 and Petrangelo made the call. On the {7-Spades} turn Winter checked to Petrangelo who sized to 5,000. Winter took a few seconds before letting his hand go and the pot was sent to Petrangelo.

"I had queens," laughed Winter as Petrangelo collected his chips.

Danchev Lucky to Double

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Dimitar Danchev raised to 3,500 from middle position and was called by three players before Andrew Lichtenberger three-bet to 18,000 in the big blind. Danchev four-bet all in for 82,500. The cold callers quickly folded and Lichtenberger snap-called covering Danchev.

Dimitar Danchev: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Andrew Lichtenberger: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Danchev was in rough shape as his pocket pair was dominated. The {k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop didn't help but Danchev drilled the turn when it came {9-Spades} to give him a full house. The river came the {k-Clubs} to give Danchev the double up.

Isaac Haxton
Isaac Haxton

Isaac Haxton opened to 3,000 from the hijack and both Daniel Custodio on the button and Chris Lee in the big blind made the call.

The flop came {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and all three players checked their options to the {2-Hearts} turn. Lee checked to Haxton who fired for 6,500. Custodio quickly got out of the way, and after some thought, Lee made the fold as well.

Meanwhile on Table 7, Mike Watson opened for 3,500 on the button and it folded to Dan Smith in the big blind who moved all in for 27,000. Watson quickly folded and the small pot was sent to Smith without conflict.
