PPT Star Players to be Broadcast on Small Screen

The Professional Poker Tour (PPT) is to be broadcast on TV with a number of final table twists to ensure compelling viewing.

The PPT will bring together 250 of the top poker players in the world and the first season of jam-packed action will stretch over 24 weeks, broadcast on the Travel Channel.

The shows take the viewers through the tournament start to finish, 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.

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 Gus Hansen, Men 'The Master' Nguyen, Chris Moneymaker, Antonio Esfandiari, Bobby Baldwin, Daniel Negreanu and many more.

Most unusual is the final table. Not only is the table itself royal blue-coloured rather than green, players must beat a 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.
