Poker News – In less than a week, PokerNews will be at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas to attend the premiere of Runner Runner, the new film by 20th Century Fox starring Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake. Earlier this week we did an interview with Phil “Unabomber” Laak, who filmed a cameo for the film alongside his friend Antonio Esfandiari. It’s only fitting that we got Esfandiari’s side of the story.
For those unfamiliar with the upcoming film, here’s the storyline according to imdb.com:
“Princeton grad student Richie (Timberlake), believing he’s been swindled, travels to Costa Rica to confront online gambling tycoon Ivan Block (Affleck in his first-ever villain role). Richie is seduced by Block’s promise of immense wealth, until he learns the disturbing truth about his benefactor. When the FBI tries to coerce Richie to help bring down Block, Richie faces his biggest gamble ever: attempting to outmaneuver the two forces closing in on him.”
