So why the title “Runner Runner”? It’s an expression unknown to all but perhaps the most ardent gamblers. For the uninitiated, here’s a quick explanation: In the game of poker Texas hold ‘em, each player is dealt two “hole cards” which they keep to themselves. Then three cards are dealt face up – also known as The Flop. The fourth card dealt up is The Turn and the fifth card is The River. Sometimes a player will get the two cards he needs on The Turn and The River – a very lucky break that is also known as “runner runner”. For “Runner Runner’s” Richie to avoid jail, he’ll need an ingenious plan – and some very lucky breaks.
“Runner Runner” opens September 26 from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
