PokerZone TV to Offer Play-Along Show

A deal between PokerZone Television, Two Way TV and Zone4Play�s betting brand, The Winner Channel will see a two hour play-along show broadcast daily on Sky on the PokerZone TV channel.

Face Up Hold �Em is a Texas Hold �Em poker game played live with every hand revealed to viewers at home. Viewers can play-along by predicting which player will win at the start of every round. At every step of the game viewers get to see the mathematical strength of each players� hand to help make their predictions.

Home players can interact with the show in a number of ways. They can either play for fun, or can bet on the outcome of each game for real money with a minimum stake of �1.

Jim Sibcy, managing director of PokerZone TV, said, 'Face Up Hold �Em adds a new dimension to poker programming � it�s educational for players, and it offers everyone at home the chance of playing along for fun or for real money. We think this is a great addition to our channel'.

Jean de Fougerolles, Two Way TV�s chief executive officer, added, 'It's revealing to see how dramatically the strength of a great opening hand, like a King / Ace can change when another King appears in one or your opponents� pocket cards. You just don�t get this in regular poker shows.'
