This week (ok not really this week), we are locked in and sounding out Niall Farrell ahead of his much anticipated BBC documentary ‘The Four Rules Of The Poker Kings’ directed by BAFTA-winning filmmaker Greg Clark! The film was pushed back from its original April release date, as was this episode, hence a few anachronistic references to the Irish Open!
In what is nonetheless a belter of an episode, the lads preview the documentary with exclusive clips from Niall’s poker adventures in 2021/2022. Before they all get to that though, there is some talk about the Irish Open Leaderboard (AKA the Firaldo Cup) which was coincidentally won by our host David Lappin and another Niall Farrell idea ~ a Hendon Mob flag inspired ‘Amazing Race’.
The conversation then moves onto the documentary and how it captures both sides of the poker life. Niall on the felt wins are shown alongside his losses and, maybe most importantly, against the backdrop of family life. There is also footage from the life of fellow Scottish poker pro David Docherty as he navigates his way in the game.
The film ‘The Four Rules Of The Poker Kings’ airs on BBC Scotland at 9pm on August 16th. It will also be available to watch on the iPlayer.
