Rounders sequel

I really liked the 1998 movie Rounders, which was really important in popularizing Texas Holdem poker to the huge extent it has grown in the last 15 years. I don't like watching the whole thing because the Ed Norton character is annoying.  The Mat Damon character should never have let the Norton character get him into trouble, which was the central plot complication of the whole movie.  I really like the poker scenes with Damon and Malkovich as Teddy KGB.
I just read that there is a sequel in the works with Damon and Norton that will involve playing in Paris to start and Robert DeNiro as the new villain.
For a long time I've had a different idea for a sequel (which maybe they could still do something like after the current sequel): Damon has moved to Vegas and become a successful pro, playing big televised tournaments, publishing books, etc.  Then Teddy KGB shows up in Vegas and establishes a club.  Initially it looks like KGB is simply expanding.  But it will become clear that he really is running from the Russian mob.  Damon has to save him.  By playing poker of course.  There are a lot of ways that could play out.
