After months of delays, the 60 Minutes piece about Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet is finally going to happen this weekend.

The CBS website has the following teaser clip:

What I saw on that clip is pretty much what I expected, no huge surprises. I’m still curious to see the whole piece — and I’m sure most of the poker world will be glued to the TV this Sunday night to see how the whole thing plays out.

This (60 Minutes considering Absolute Poker story) is the original post that I made about the story way back in March. Over eight months later, here we are…

What do you think will happen?

I don’t see anything positive coming out of this for our overall industry. I think this is what they might call “the fallout” from the entire scandal.

Wow – this is huge. Could have very long-lasting repercussions on the online poker industry. As Jeremy says – I doubt the fallout will be positive.

I’m not one to watch 60 Minutes on a regular basis, but I’ve got this episode TiVo’d. I always think back to Al Pacino and Russell Crowe in “The Insider” when it comes to 60 Minutes.

I am sure the producers will handle it professionally. Here’s hoping their professionalism does not translate into a damning of online poker.
