Poker Show To Feature Live Veterans And Online Sensations
NBC’s popular poker programme Poker After Dark, in which six players play out a winner-take-all $20,000 buy-in tournament, typically has themes running through a week of shows.
This week’s theme is ‘nets vs vets’ and pits old-school live professionals (ten-time bracelet winners Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson as well as 1996 Main Event winner Huck Seed) against online pros – Brian ‘sbrugby’ Townsend is a part-owner of poker video training site CardRunners and can be found at the biggest games on Full Tilt Poker. Tom ‘durrr’ Dwan recently appeared on Poker After Dark’s $100,000 cash game and Andrew ‘good2cu’ Robl, who has made millions online and recently finished third in the $5,000 Mixed Hold''em event at the WSOP.US viewers can watch it on NBC at 2.05am ET to see who takes the $120,000 prize. Those from other countries can find the show available for streaming on NBC’s official website.

I haven't caught this show yet as it's middle of the night for me but I may check out the website to watch. It sounds like it would be great play with names like that in it.

I went to the website to take a look and see if it was something that would be worth recording. Really liked what I saw and set my VCR to record the next round. The shows time slot is during my sleep slot.

I have seen one running of this and I had missed the first part of it. Im not sure but I think Tivo likes to record when it does, not when I want. From what I have read online its a must see type show and its hard in case you miss anything to catch back up. I am hoping to try and do so with clippings online I have found.

It does sound like something to try and catch. I will have to check to see if it comes on my local programming and try to record it. I certainly don't think I could manage the time slot in airs in otherwise!!
