Poker documentary
Poker film premieres

A new star-studded documentary film about tournament poker gets first showing in Vegas

The feature-length documentary No Limit: A search for the American Deream on the poker tournament premieres tonight 27 July at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

PartyPoker.net "The World's Largest Poker School," is sponsoring the red carpet event and after-party. The screening is at Brenden Threatres at 6:30 p.m., followed by a party at the ghostbar. Red carpet arrivals at ghostbar begin at 8 p.m.

No Limit, features film producer Susan Genard as one of two single parents who document their eight-month odyssey on the high-stakes poker tournament trail.

The film was recently dubbed "The Mother of All Poker Docs," and has garnered much attention on the national film festival circuit.

Not surprising since the movie's theme -- that the American Dream is alive and well if one is willing to take certain risks -- focuses on the popular sport of tournament poker.

Celebrities and poker players expected to attend include many of the poker superstars featured in the film including Annie Duke, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Kathy Liebert, Daniel Negreanu, Doyle Brunson, Mike Sexton, Scotty Nguyen, Barry Greenstein, Kenna James and Chris Moneymaker, as well as actress and WSOP gold bracelet winner Jennifer Tilly, Phil "The Unabomber" Laak, Pamela Anderson, Norm MacDonald, Cindy Margolis, Robin Weigert, Victor Williams, Kelly Perine, Yosh Nakano, and the No Limit 'Nearly Nude' Painted Girls.

The film has been well received by the critics:

"Rhys' (Director of No Limit) timing is perfect. These guys are like the last American cowboys. There are some great stories to be told."
— USA Today

'No Limit' is mother of poker docs.
— The Las Vegas Sun

"It's a roller-coaster ride with an adrenaline high."
—The Toronto Star

"Original private interviews with all the top players in the world..."
—All In Magazine

“No Limit wins on all counts.”
— American Poker Player Magazine
