Rounders, considered by many the best poker movie of all-time, is celebrating an anniversary this week, which is exactly 25 years after it was first released. What's more, PokerNews has a weekend's worth of content to celebrate!
One this we did was to gather a roundtable of experts to rewatch the film and offer watch-along commentary complete with analysis, fun facts & tidbits, and much more. You can either watch the video on its own, or better yet, put on the movie Rounders and then hit play on our show to watch alongside us!

Himmelbrand went into the tank for a moment and then eventually called and they were off to a flop.
The Q♦5♣3♣ flop landed and Himmelbrand check-called a 575,000 bet from Reese on their way to a J♦ turn.
The action checked through and the 4♥ landed on the river.
