gambling poker movies

This month's edition of MovieMaker magazine has a decent article on poker movies. In addition to mentions of Stuey and Shade (which is slated to make wide release soon, apparently), it mentions some new films in the pipe which sound interesting:

At least two feature length documentaries are currently being made on poker. Rovin' Gamblers, directed by Rebekah Sindoris, chronicles the lives of six young professional poker players with an unparalleled obsession for the game. Sindoris follows their lives from the tables to the nightclubs to family dinners as they struggle to stay on top of their game. [...]

In addition, MM Publisher Tim Rhys' Taking a Shot takes a look at high-stakes poker players, moviemakers and other mavericks who have successfully gambled on themselves to achieve the American Dream. Rhys interviews stars and analysts from the world of high-stakes and tournament poker, as well as celebrities and entrepreneurs who have unique personal perspectives on risk-taking and its relationship to achieving success, American style. The doc is being shot over a six-month period, and chronicles the fortunes of Rhys' partner and producer, Susan Genard, as she competes in a series of high-stakes tournaments to try to win enough money for her company to produce an independent film!
