Poker After Dark Starts Season Two With a Huge LineupThis Week Features Players Who Have 45 WSOP Bracelets Between Them |
|
After one season of bringing viewers an innovative, never-before-seen high-stakes tournament where players buy-in for $20,000 in a winner-take-all format, Poker After Dark stepped up the game with the announcement of its season-two player rosters.
The new season kicks off on Tuesday morning at 2:05 a.m. PT, and the first tournament will feature a lineup of players who have an incredible 45 World Series of Poker bracelets between them. There are only 14 players in the world that are alive who own five or more bracelets; six of them are at this week's table.
T.J. Cloutier (six bracelets) and Layne Flack (five bracelets) are both making their Poker After Dark debut while Erik Seidel (eight bracelets) and Doyle Brunson (10 bracelets) are returning to claim their first win. Chris Ferguson (five bracelets) won during season one but is looking to make wins in two consecutive seasons.
When having a tournament that features players with numerous WSOP bracelets, the table would not be complete without all-time leading bracelet winner, Phil Hellmuth. He broke the record this summer when he clinched number 11. Hellmuth has been one of the first three players to be eliminated in his previous three matches, so he will be battling hard to prove himself as the self-proclaimed "greatest no-limit player in the game today."
Five consecutive episodes that show the entire tournament until a $120,000 winner is crowned will air each night at 2:05 a.m. PT. On Saturday night at 1 a.m. PT, there is a summary of the week's action in a "Director's Cut" episode. With the competitiveness' and caliber of the players this week, there will be more than enough action to choose from for the recap.
