Late Night Poker set to return

2007-08-24 16:34:07

Late Night Poker is set to return to television screens in the UK after producer Rob Gardner died suddenly earlier this year.

When the show returns on Channel 4, the total prize pool for this year will be $335,000, with $125,000 going to the winner.

There will be almost 50 players paying a $5,000 buy-in, with seven heats featuring seven players, to be followed by a semi-final and a final, reports CardPlayer.com.

A PartyPoker spokesman said: "Rob's contribution to the rise of televised poker and getting Late Night Poker on our screens was massive and his pioneering work leaves a huge legacy.

"He will be sorely missed, not only by those that know him but by the poker industry as a whole."

Late Night Poker is a show in which poker players, mostly professionals or strong amateurs, compete in a series of No-Limit Texas Hold'em tournament games for a prize of around £50,000.
