| NEW ‘PROFESSIONAL POKER TOUR’ WILL FEATURE 250 POKER ALL-STARS IN WEEKLY SERIES BEGINNING JULY 5 ON TRAVEL CHANNEL |
June 21, 2006
The highly anticipated PROFESSIONAL POKER TOUR™ (PPT) from the creator
of the phenomenally successful WORLD POKER TOUR® (WPT), will showcase
poker’s 250 leading stars in a new and exciting format, destined to ratchet
up televised poker to a whole new level. The action-packed new series will
thrill fans with great strategy, cool moves and hot stars.
Tune in to the PROFESSIONAL POKER TOUR on July 5 at 9 pm on the Travel
Channel.
The PROFESSIONAL POKER TOUR will bring to TV viewers the cream of the
crop, 250 of the top poker players in the world. The first season of jam-
packed action will stretch over 24 weeks, spotlighting a stellar lineup of poker’
s All-Stars – champions from the WORLD POKER TOUR® (WPT), World Series
of Poker, and European poker tournaments.
The shows take the viewers through the tournament start to conclusion,
focusing on one featured table each day of the event. However, every time a
player goes “All-In” anywhere in the room, cameras rush to the table to catch
the action. As many as 15 tables will get their moment in the sun with “All-In”
action throughout the preliminary rounds.
Enticed by five “freeroll” tournaments with a total of $2.5 million in prize
money provided by the PPT, the game’s legends and new young idols face off
in four grueling quarters of tournament play and one championship round.
Famous poker faces include Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Johnny Chan, Annie
Duke, Phil Hellmuth, Gus Hansen, Men “The Master” Nguyen, Chris
Moneymaker, Antonio Esfandiari, Bobby Baldwin, Daniel Negreanu, Jennifer
Harman, David “Devilfish” Ulliott, Samy Farha, Mel Judah, Scotty Nguyen, Erick
Lindgren, Phil “The Unabomber” Laak, Huck Seed, Tom McEvoy, Layne Flack,
Carlos Mortensen, Chip Reese, Erik Seidel, Lyle Berman, Kathy Liebert, T.J.
Cloutier, and Linda Johnson.
The Final Table is distinctive as well. Players at the Final Table must beat the
90-second clock in making their play or surrender their hand. A player may
invoke his “time bank allowance” to extend that time period only once during
the Final Table play. Another unique feature of the PPT includes a royal blue
Final Table felt, instead of the traditional green.
Complete schedule for Professional Poker Tour Season 2 available.
