"The UPC offers a truly unique opportunity for unknown poker players to come to Binion's and play on TV," Ultimate Poker Challenge host Chad Brown says. "A lot of our players show up every week and a few of them make the final table on a regular basis."

Some of the notable amateurs are Richard Berkey, Mike "The Milk Man" Melikian, and Steven Weitz, all of whom have made the televised final table three times.

The show runs in syndication, so check local listings for air times.
