4 of a Kind
The guy who runs a local home game that I have played in for over 10 years is friends with a producer at the local cable TV station. So when the idea was put forth to create a poker TV show, Bristol Street Poker was born and I was lucky enough to be included.
We have been shooting all week. The schedule was a little aggressive and filming has gone on until 3 am every night so I am pretty worn out. It all wraps up tonight. But all in all it has been a fantastic experience.
Their equipment has only 8 inputs, so with 4 studio cameras, that left 4 slots for GoPro cameras to record the hole cards. So it was set up as 4 handed sngs amongst 8 different players. 3 preliminary sngs for each player to determine the 4 finalists.
We air Thurs Sept. 10, 10pm on RogerTV Kitchener cable 20 and the show will run 8 weeks.
Here are some shots from filming this week. The finals are being filmed tonight.

Control Room
Control Room monitor. 11:15 pm, with an entire sng left to shoot after this one ends, the control room crew went a little 'batty'.
Commentators calling the action (guy on the right is the one who hosts the home game)
They call from a monitor. Some poor guy has to put in all the hole cards into the computer so they get the hand percentages, preflop, postflop, and on the turn. It is a frenetic job.
