Heart Monitors Show Poker Players Motives

Poker is one of those games that rose out of the obscure mists of time, and the players who knew the secrets of the game seemed inhuman in their ability to both read other players and remain unreadable themselves. As the spread of information began to unravel their secrets, more and more players became expert at the game. With their secrets now published in best selling books, and their hole cards displayed for all to see on Poker TV shows, only their nerves of steel kept poker pros ahead of the pack. Now this, too, may be hamstrung by the innovation of FSN's Poker Dome Challenge. The Poker TV show straps heart monitors to the players during the game, so observant players can match tells to accelerated heart rates, hoping to score an advantage.
