Annie Adlin

I did an interview with Annie Adlin, the creator of the Poker Beat.
...
Annie Adlin- Executive producer, co-creator, talent, casting and location organizer, not to mention lead worrier.I'm also the Casino shift supervisor for the poker room at Canterbury Park in the Minneapolis, Minnesota Metropolitan area .
...
Wow Annie, that's quite an answer.
...
Thanks for your time Annie.

"They" are poker people, primarily Michael Hochman and Annie Adlin.
...
Annie also began her poker career as a dealer and has been in the poker industry for over 20 years.Today, she is the Card Club Shift Manager at Canterbury Park.
...
"At one of our meetings", Michael remembers saying, "I said to Annie and Matthew that there are probably 100 other people at 100 other restaurants discussing the same thing.
...
After many more discussions, note taking, idea pitching, and brainstorming, Michael and Annie decided that they loved the whole concept enough to want to move forward, beyond the talking stage, but it is a long and expensive way from a good idea to production.
...
"I dipped into my nest egg," Annie stated.

In the next issue we'll continue with the show's lineup and how Hochman and Adlin made their vision become a reality.
