Poker2Nite

Fox's Poker2Nite is coming to Canada
on The Score. I've been watching this show
since it first came on a couple months ago,
but I know a lot of you dont get a lot of
the american fox channels. Its a poker
news and current events show that fills
a void on poker tv.

From what I heard, it will be on at 5:30pm
sunday afternoons until February 14th.

Its hosted by Joe Sebok and Scott Huff.
Huff is a natural, a polished poker journalist
who I listen to on weekly PokerRoad.com
podcasts. Sebok started out pretty stiff
but has fallen into his role pretty well.

Amir Vahedi Dead

Not much in the way of details available,
but according to a post from Mark Seif,
Amir Vahedi has passed away.
(possibly diabetes related?)

NBC has had a successful run with Poker After Dark
and the show looks to continue its success as it
enters its sixth season. Held at the Golden Nugget
Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, PAD continues to f
ind an audience thanks to the interesting mix of
high-stakes cash games and big-name professional
players who regularly appear on the program.
This edition of the series features 13 shows,
seven six-handed winner-take-all matches and
six cash games.

The first episode to debut is called "Commentators III,"
which features Howard Lederer, Gabe Kaplan, Joe Sebok,
Ali Nejad, Mark Gregorich, and Kara Scott.

PAD's second episode is dedicated to players with
interesting nicknames including Annette “The Huntress”
Obrestad, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, Antonio
“The Magician” Esfandiari, Erick “E-Dog” Lindgren,
Phil “The Unabomber” Laak, and Phil “The Poker Brat”
Hellmuth.

PAD's first cash game features a solid line-up and
a $50,000 minimum buy-in that should keep viewers
interested, with players Brandon Adams, Todd Brunson,
Chris Ferguson, Mike Matusow, Esfandiari, and Hellmuth
making the rounds.

There are two other big-buy-in cash games, featuring
a $100,000 minimum buy-in game with Hellmuth, Eli Elezra,
Doyle Brunson, Tom Dwan, Gus Hansen, and Laak and
a $150,000 minimum buy-in match with Dwan,
Patrik Antonius, David Peat, Elezra, Kaplan, and
Alan Meltzer.

Other interesting shows include "Mixed Martial Arts,"
which features Bruce Buffer, Patrik Antonius,
Dan Henderson, Randy Couture, Lederer, and
Lindgren. Another show, "He Said, She Said,"
pits Erica Schoenberg, Jean-Robert Bellande,
David Grey, Karina Jett, Mike Matusow, and
Annie Duke in a battle of the sexes.
