 CHAR:  At one point Mike McDermott says to Jo, "Why do you think the  same five guys make it to the final table at the World Series of  Poker *every single year*?" Perhaps Mike knows hes lying. In the  ten years immediately prior to the filming of the movie, only 12  players made it to the final table two or more times. Of those, only  two made it three times and no one made it more than that. Only one  of those players ever made it to the final table two years in a row.
