It was announced today that NBC’s Poker After Dark will film its 2009 season at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino.
Filming will take place Oct. 26-Nov. 5 at the Golden Nugget’s newest events center. Host Leeann Tweeden will return once again for all 60 brand-new episodes. The six-handed $20,000 buy-in winner-take-all format will still be in effect but with the addition of more cash games. The high-stakes live games made their debut on the current season of Poker After Dark and will be back by popular demand.
The show is known for showcasing the world’s best talent. Pros like Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, and Doyle Brunson have all made numerous appearances and are planning to return for more.
The fifth season is scheduled to begin airing on Dec. 29 at 2:05 a.m. Each week’s tournament will air Tuesday-Saturday in the same timeslot, and a special one-hour “Director’s Cut” episode that recaps the week’s action airs on Sunday at 1 a.m.
