 The World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker have two new contenders to compete against for TV airtime: Women's Poker and Showbiz Poker, two new TV shows about to launch on the UK's Challenge TV channel. Both TV shows will introduce and broadcast themed poker games (unlike the generic poker tournament play in WPT and WSOP) and are sponsored by 888.com's Pacific Poker. Very soon there won't be a single night of the week where you can't catch a game. And won't that be fantastic! Pull out your TV guides, PDA's and fridge magnets - grab every PostIt you can find - do whatever you have to to be glued to the small screen, starting tonight! Women's Poker will air at 10pm tonight and will run every night of the week for two weeks. Showbiz Poker kicks off on 17 April 2006 and will flight every week night at 10.30pm. A DVD recorder or TiVo might come in handy if you want to start your own poker championship library at home! Watch play after play of professional and celebrity poker like you've never seen before. Tension, drama and high stakes are guaranteed!Women's Poker will showcase some of the best female card players on the planet. Professional players will ante up side-by-side with celeb card sharks and viewers at home. Showbiz Poker will put the 888 poker room's money where their mouth is, with a prize pot of 25,000 Pounds Sterling and celebrity tournament action to the max. The female of the poker species has been slowly creeping their way into tournament and championship seats of all the major poker playoffs. It was only a matter of time until there were enough top-skill poker ladies to face off in a women-only competition. Challenge TV spokesperson Celia Taylor had this to say, "We're always ahead of the game in poker programming and women are about to clean up in the male dominated poker world!" Challenge TV has long been a favorite of UK poker enthusiasts, with other popular shows that include the World Poker Tour, Ultimate Poker Challenge, World Series of Poker and Celebrity Poker Showdown. |
