Poker on TV

It is very possible we have seen the end of an era in tournament poker. Before the beginning of the 2011 WSOP $50,000 Poker Player's Championship, Doyle Brunson stated the following on Twitter: TexDolly @PokerLawyer *Thanks, you might be watching my last tournament. If I don't play well (up to my standards), I may retire from tournament poker. * Doyle made it to Day 2 of the event, but failed to make Day 3.

So for the first time in probably three years, I watched a first run episode of the 2010 World Series of Poker on ESPN.  Tonight was the Poker Player's Championship episodes where Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi took down his first every WSOP bracelet. I won't lie.   The main reason I watched was to see if they got some shots of me around the Rio.

It appears the Poker2Nite is no more, or at least according to the twitter’s of Joe Sebok and Scott Huff. Poker2Nite was a poker news program that started on Fox Sports Net and then moved to Versus for season 2. The program was cancelled due to sponsors not renewing according to a twitter from Huff. I wish I could say that this was shocking.

This list does not discriminate, and bluntly includes almost any chick hostess who have ever presented a poker game. Why? Because the casting crews of Poker After Dark, The World Poker Tour etc. are just that good. For some reason, it is in the wondrous world of poker the most beautiful television personalities can be found.
