Re: Fossilman\'s Account Hacked?
[ QUOTE ]
Regarding who is responsible for the Poker Boom, (from about.com) [ QUOTE ] Harry Orenstein patented the idea of the "hole cam," a camera that would show poker player's hole cards to TV viewers, in 1997. The hole cam was first used by the Travel Channel in 2003 for the World Poker Tour, and it sheparded in all the TV poker shows that followed. [/ QUOTE ] If this is correct, and the WPT was the first to use hole cams on TV, then that's a big argument that they had big hand in it. [/ QUOTE ] If it were true. However, Channel 4's Late Night Poker was televising poker with hole cards on view as early as 1999. See here: http://www.channel4.com/entertainmen..._the_show.html
