Matt Savage served as the TD. Both shows appeared on Fox. Once again PokerStars took the amateur against pros approach but this time it was in a cash game. The show featured frequent poker commentator Chris Rose but also included long-time poker podcasters Joe Stapleton and Scott Huff as well as Amanda Leatherman.
It only lasted one season. On one hand it featured some pretty high-level cash game poker. On the other, the games were mostly Team Full Tilt Poker pros trading their money back and forth while promoting their company. It was very difficult to know what was truly at stake considering: 1. Most online sites paid out a TV fee for appearing on shows.
Pros tend to swap a lot of action. The show ran for five seasons on Sky Poker. Current WSOP live stream commentator David Tuchman handled the play-by-play in this one with a rotating set of guests.

The TV product, which has been shown on a variety of networks in addition to being streamed on PokerStars.
PokerStars decided to go in a different direction for their live tournaments in and somewhat surprisingly decided to end the EPT and replace it with the PokerStars Championship tour. Poker After Dark was perhaps the most successful post-Moneymaker show and garnered very successful ratings for a period of time.
The premise behind the show, which was produced by Mori Eskandani like so many other popular TV poker TV, was a six-player freezeout featuring some of the biggest names of poker. Freed from the shackles of televising the final table of a multi-table tournament which undoubtedly feature numerous unknown players. Perhaps the one downside of Poker After Dark was that the stakes felt fairly irrelevant after awhile as it was rumored players buy-ins were paid by online poker sites.
Of course sometimes the relaxed nature of Poker After Dark worked in its favor like when a drunken Gavin Smith somehow managed to beat Phil Ivey heads-up in one of the later episodes. Phil Hellmuth also got very, very, very upset at Shawn Sheikhan in one episode that helped cement his status as the Poker Brat.

The concept is simple. The WPT hosts tournaments around the world although mostly North America in the early years and then shoots a final table of six players. Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten have handled the commentary duties for the last 15 years of the show.
The WPT was such a part of the poker zeitgeist that it was even featured as the setting for the flick Deal , starring Eric Bana and Drew Barrymore , in the midst of the poker boom. The format has remained essentially the same since the very beginning but the team has added a number of personalities over the last few years including anchor Lynn Gilmartin , Raw Deal host Tony Dunst and the Royal Flush Crew.
Somehow, through it all, the WPT has continued to innovate and remains a steadfast fixture of an ever-changing poker world. The modern TV format of the World Series of Poker that we all know and love, coincided with Chris Moneymaker winning the tournament in It quite literally changed the game.
