Has
popularity of Texas Holdem, gone from the back room to the board room? Small
Town Poker Tour Show, Executive Producer, Mark Fracalossi, would neither
confirm or deny the buzz that is surrounding the story. The Small Town Poker
Tour Show is a new television show set to hit the air.
"I have received countless calls the past few days asking me to confirm the
Trump-Burnett connection," Fracalossi said. "All I can say at this time we
have some interesting proposals on the table, and we have not finalized the
broadcast end of the deal, what I can say, Make it Happen Productions, a Los
Angeles based production company and Billy Frank Creative Director/Executive
Producer, have partnered with us to produce the show".
'Make It Happen' is a full-service production company that specializes in
fully-executed productions from conception through postproduction. "It's not
that bad having your name and project associated with such a great American
Icon," Fracalossi said.
The show will add a new grass roots look to the nations fastest growing card
game Texas Holdem.
The Poker Show will be different from the rest, "We put more on the people
aspect and feature unique locations." It will also raise money for charity
along the way. The Tour comes to town everyone who lives in that state is
invited out to play, 100% of the money is given to a local charity. All of
America will get to vote on the Towns the tour visits. The tour will travel
all 50 States, in search of the best amature poker player in America.
"We are going to take poker back to where it all started", Fracalossi said.
"Everyone views the shows now with their high stakes, and flashy sets, but
the roots of Poker games can be found in every small town in the USA."
So don't be surprised if you see someone who looks like the grandmother next
door or the guy who bags items at your local store at the final table. "Our
goal is to make this a fund raising machine for the towns we visit".
