N E 1 Watching This? (Better then Poker After Dark)
The Pro-Am Poker Equalizer is a unique tournament featuring an
exciting mix of professional poker players and celebrity enthusiasts
playing for a first-place prize worth $500,000.
Filmed at the South Coast Casino in Las Vegas, each episode features
six players (four professionals and two amateurs) playing in a
six-handed Sit & Go tournament. The winner of each game will advance
to the next round and play for a chance to take home the $500,000 prize.
Because they're professionals, it's safe to assume that players like Phil
Ivey, Chris Ferguson, and Howard Lederer might have an advantage over their
celebrity competition. With that in mind, we have handicapped each of the
pros in this tournament by forcing them to start with only 100,000 chips,
while each celebrity will be given 150,000 chips with which to play.
Episode 1 Description:
The premier episode of the Pro-Am Poker Equalizer show features
actress Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and controversial
former baseball all-star Jose Canseco, who square off against
poker pros Phil Ivey, Erick Lindgren, Daniel Negreanu, and John Juanda.
