WHAT: The highly anticipated PROFESSIONAL POKER TOUR(TM) (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.
WHEN: Tune in to the PROFESSIONAL POKER TOUR on July 5 at 9 pm on the
Travel Channel.
WPT: 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 "free-roll" 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.
