The timing is just right, a week before the kick off of the 2008 World Series of Poker - that's when the latest poker movie hits the theaters, this time casting a poker playing actress in a pivotal role. The movie, titled "The Deal", features Burt Reynolds as the retired pro poker player who takes on a new kid and then goes heads up with him in a World Poker Tour championship. The love interest in the movie will be played by Shannon Elizabeth, a Hollywood actress who has declared poker her second career.
