New PPT TV series

2006-06-26 09:50:00

The Professional Poker Tour (PPT) will screen its very own TV series on US Cable.

Around 250 leading poker players will star in the 24-week series, which is due to be screened on the US Travel Channel.

Featuring top players such as Annie Duke, Samy Fahra, Bobby Baldwin, Phil Ivey and Johnny Chan the competitors will take part in a series of five "free-roll" tournaments.

There will be $2.5 million of prize money up for grabs, while each show will focus on one poker table with all cameras covering any "all-in" calls during play.

PPT organizers said: "Players at the Final Table must beat the 90-second clock in making their play or surrender their hand.

"Another unique feature of the PPT includes a royal blue Final Table felt, instead of the traditional green."

The show will begin airing on July 5th at 21:00.
