Poker After Dark to Feature a Table 'Hecklers'Six More Players Will Compete for a $120,000 Prize Beginning Jan. 15 at 2:05 a.m. on NBC |

Next week’s Poker After Dark (PAD) match will feature a few of the game’s wittiest and most outspoken players when it premieres early Tuesday morning at 2:05 a.m.
At a table appropriately named “Hecklers,” Gavin Smith, Sam Grizzle, Jean-Robert Bellande, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, Shawn Sheikhan, and Phil “The Poker Brat” Hellmuth will compete for the winner-take-all $120,000 prize. Highly accomplished and talented players with such strong personalities will make for an action-packed table.
Bellande and Grizzle are both making their PAD debuts. Perhaps Bellande will use the skills he learned on CBS’s Survivor:
Smith, Hellmuth, and Sheikhan are all previous PAD winners looking to snag another title. Matusow has the worst record of them all at 0-6.
The five-episode tournament begins airing on Jan. 15 at 2:05 a.m. on NBC and continues each day in the same time-slot with the final episode airing on Saturday. On Sunday at 1 a.m., a special "director's cut" episode will recap the week's action.
