E! Entertainment have announced a new celebrity poker TV show from Hollywood, following the success of many other recent celebrity poker shows... Featuring some of the hottest TV and movie stars
around. That's what E! Entertainment promise with the launch of their
new TV show "E! Hollywood Hold-em". Due to start on March 17th, the new
show follows on from many other celebrity poker shows and looks set to be just as big a hit with the poker viewing
public as the rest.
The show
promises to get straight to the action with little "filler", something
many of other shows have lacked previously.
The dealer, a celebrity in his own right, is professional poker
player Phil Laak. Known as the 'Unabomber' for his distinctive grey
hooded sweater, Phil has competed in many large poker events in recent
years. His victory at the World Poker Tour invitational event in Los
Angeles saw him take home a $100,000 pay check.
Those of you who havent had the opportunity of seeing him play, do
yourself a favour, and tune into the travel channel. He, in our
opinion, is a true showmen, something the game needs, almost like
Mohammed Ali in his hayday.
Keeping to a celebrity theme, a different celeb' will show viewers
around their home to highlight the places where they do everyday
things, like cook, clean and sleep. This celeb' will also be serving up
refreshments to the poker players throughout the tournament.
(suckers!!!!)
Once again poker is being shown before mainstream TV audiences,
this time through E! Entertainment. It seems poker is continuing to
grow in popularity around the world, even in the biggest celebrity
circles.
