Poker After Dark Lineup
Watch hundreds of exclusive live poker tournaments and TV shows like the World Series of Poker (WSOP), Poker After Dark, High Stakes Poker, and more on PokerGO. Poker After Dark's pro/celeb week, entitled 'Moving Violations' featured a lineup of poker pros and Hollywood celebs such as Jennifer Tilly, Don Cheadle as well as producer Randall Emmett. A video shared on Youtube described it as: 'Moving Violations' week was all about Hollywood, but in one hand, Antonio Esfandiari attempts to felt his star.
Lately there has been a lot of past Poker After Dark shows being shown on NBC and if you are like me you are kinda getting sick of seeing the same show over and over again and you just want to see some new content. Well come January you will start to see more and more new shows of Poker After Dark being played on NBC. You will see the normal sit-n-go style freezeout where 6 players pay $20,000 and then play a winner takes all tournament style poker game. You will also see more cash game poker games where 6 players sit down at the table with their own money. If the games are anything like the past cash game poker games on Poker After Dark then you are in for a treat on the new shows that will be played in early 2009.
Below is a list of the shows that will be played, but right now there is no set date for them to be played. Also I will list who will be playing in the games and whether or not it will be a cash game.
