After the pilot was shot and tested, NBC decided not to order more episodes for All In, based on Annie Duke's life story

NBC cancels Annie Duke TV poker show

Annie Duke, called the Duchess of Poker, is a popular TV person who achieved stunning success due to its poker career. Her personal life, always drawing considerable attention, was going to become the plot of the anticipated poker show planned by NBC. But according to the recent reports issued by Annie's publicist from Much and House Public Relations, the TV company refused to pick up the story.

GamblingGates.com had reported on the Warner Brothers TV project, devoted to the Annie's life story. The show dubbed All In was considered to be part of NBC's fall line-up. The poker show was to merge the gap between the massive prime time audience with overall poker awareness and popularity.

All In deals with a stressed mother of several kids who pays the bills through playing poker. Actually, the poker show plot considerably differs from Annie's real life in order to provide the tenseness of the situation. So, the protagonist has to replace her brother poker guru Howard Lederer, and is slated to live with her parents.
