Texas hold 'em

Texas hold 'em (also known as Texas holdem, hold 'em, or holdem) is a variation of the standard card game of poker. Two cards (hole/hold cards) are dealt face down to each player, and then five community cards are dealt in three stages face-up, placed in front of the dealer. The stages consist of a series of three cards ("the flop"), later an additional single card ("the turn" or "fourth street") and a final card ("the river" or "fifth street"). The best five card poker hand is obtained by using the necessary cards from the community and/or a particular player's hole cards (if a player's best five card poker hand consists only of the five community cards and none of the player's hole cards, it is called "playing the board"). Players have betting options to check, bet/call, raise or fold. Rounds of betting include prior to the flop/"pre-flop", "on the flop", "on the turn", and "on the river". The betting pattern has variations, such as: all players might simply check on a particular round such as pre-flop.

Hold'em (film)

Hold'em is a 2014 American thriller film directed by Clay DuMaw. The film's plot combines Texas hold 'em with elements from horror and thriller films such as Battle Royale and Saw.

Synopsis

Former poker pro, Jake Emerson (Richard Cooke) joins an underground card game with a million dollars at stake, but the entry fee is more than he bargained for. He along with long-time rivals Marcus Lester (David Iannotti) and Cyrus Wolf (Peter Doroha) assemble in a dreary warehouse for a battle royale of cards. Each player who loses is killed, and the last man standing walks away an undisputed champion.

Cast

Production

The film was shot almost entirely handheld, and the cast supplied their own wardrobe. Because much of the production took place at night, the windows in the film's primary location had to be digitally corrected to appear as though it were day. Peter Doroha's identical twin brother, Stephen Doroha, did all his stunts and was his stand-in on days when he couldn't be on set.
