Poker on Screen: Intercontinental Poker Championship (2006)

While there have been a plethora of poker shows on television, few have had the impact of the greats. Think of the European Poker Tour, the World Series of Poker or the PartyPoker Premier League Season 4. You probably won’t think of the Intercontinental Poker Championship, but we bet that you remember its most famous scene.

It’s an interesting quirk that the show that was designed to welcome players from all over the world features something of a storm in a global teacup. Tony G was the offender in the hand, telling Russian player Ralph Perry to ‘Get on your bike’ as he bade him back to his motherland. 

It’s quite a famous clip. It’s also one that – much like the show itself – hasn’t aged well.
