Across the globe, Lucky Kings takes us inside poker’s furtive and exotic subculture. Over twelve months we follow the high stakes journey of a select few of the world’s most talented and eccentric players as they compete with each other, and their own frailties, in a quest to win the ultimate prize – The World Series of Poker in glittering, cacophonous Las Vegas.
