Poker After Dark Lineup
Poker After Dark aims to show at-home viewers how a single table plays out over the course of a week, although the series is often filmed all at once and then edited to make it appear as though it lasts for a full week. Each season of Poker After Dark is comprised of between seven and 16 “weeks”, which offer variance in the kind of game played or offers particular themes. While the show began with No Limit Texas Hold’em, it evolved to include no-limit cash games and other formats, but it has remained constant in its weekly award of $120,000 (six players with a buy-in of $20,000), with only one alternate amount ever won by a player: Jam Up Week of Season 3, where a player bought back in and raised the total to $140,000.

Watch these FREE Poker After Dark throwback episodes from PokerGO's THEVAULT before Jamie Gold returns on April 25! World Series of Poker Champions Jamie Gol. The original Poker After Dark hour-long television program premiered on NBC in 2007 and was canceled in 2011. Rebooted in 2017, Poker After Dark streamed exclusively on PokerGO until now, coming full circle. “NBC Sports Network is not only a great partner but a natural one for PokerGO. After one season of bringing viewers an innovative, never-before-seen high-stakes tournament where players buy-in for $20,000 in a winner-take-all format, Poker After Dark stepped up the game with.
The first show aired in 2007
Poker After Dark began January 2, 2007, and quickly vaulted to a steady position as one of the biggest names in Poker TV. The show, which presents a series of mini-tournaments where poker pros are pitted against one another for a $120,000 pot, has had remarkable success during its seven seasons, due in part to its excellent production and deep-pocketed sponsors and in part due to the incredibly large amount of talent that regularly appears on the show.
Some of the most frequently seen talent includes Phil Hellmuth, Mike Matusow, Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, and Jennifer Harman. All of these players have won first place at least once, and several have had multiple first place aired finishes. Poker After Dark regularly airs in the US (NBC), Canada (Rogers Sportsnet and V), France (RTL9), Germany (SPORT1), Ireland (Setanta Ireland and Setanta Sports 1), the Netherlands (Veronica), Sweden (TV4 Sport), Denmark (TV3+), Italy (POKERItalia24), and Russia (7TV and REN-tv).
Poker After Dark has featured many different themed weeks during its run, including: “Dream Team,” where the winner of a contest sponsored by Full Tilt Poker was allowed to choose the opponents against which they wished to play; “Love at First Raise,” which took place during Season 3 and featured three pairs of poker professionals who were in a relationship at the time of filming; “Close but No Cigar,” which featured players who had made a final table at the WSOP Main Event but did not win the bracelet; and the previously mentioned “Jam Up,” where any players who were eliminated in the first lap of the button had to buy back in to the game (Eli Elezra, was eliminated early on and bought back in, went on to come in third place that week).
Concepts and ideas
Because Poker After Dark was a new idea in Poker TV, a lot of the show’s evolutions came as a result of trial and error. During Season 1, a rule was created stating that players could ask for silence at the table while they tried to make a decision (but until the player requests it, table talk may continue unabated); this came about when Phil Hellmuth was trying to decide whether to go all-in and the other players continued to talk.

Season 6 brought new graphics and an indication of who has the button, along with more in-depth player statistics, likely due to the desire to maintain popularity with serious poker players watching at home. Season 3 introduced the “Dream Team” games, a result of Full Tilt Poker’s sponsorship and desire to generate profit off of the show.
Througout the seasons
In Season 1 of Poker After Dark, the winners were Gus Hansen, Daniel Negreanu, Johnny Chan, Phil Ivey, Phil Laak, Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, Jennifer Harman, John Juanda, and Clonie Gowen (in order by week in the series).
Season 2 saw wins from many of the same players (Clonie Gowen in week 7, Phil Ivey in week 10, and Howard Lederer in week 5) as well as some new ones (Joe Hachem, week 1; Patrik Antonius, week 2; Gabe Kaplan, week 3; the Godfather of Poker, Doyle Brunson, in week 4; Shawn Sheikhan, week 6; Allen Cunningham, week 8; and Mike Sexton in week 9.
Season 3 saw Phil Hellmuth and Johnny Chan both win twice (weeks 1 and 3 for Hellmuth and weeks 4 and 6 for Chan), along with new blood: Gavin Smith beat out Phil Ivey head-on in week 2, while Gabe Kaplan displaced both Doyle Brunson and Chris Ferguson in week 5. David Williams, Vanessa Rousso, David Benyamine, and Mark Gregorich took weeks seven through ten, respectively.
Starting with the fourth season of Poker After Dark, many of the games were not aired on television, as they were cash games that strayed from the traditional PAD format. Since that time, Poker After Dark has had almost twice as many games as weeks that were aired, but the results remain available on the show’s website.
The end of Poker After Dark on TV
Unfortunately, due to United States gambling regulations, Poker After Dark is another part of the poker world subject to change or elimination. In April of 2011, the United States Judicial System, unhappy with the ways around the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) of 2006 that many online poker sites and players had found, decided to go directly after some of the biggest names in online poker, including PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker, causing them to pull out of the US market. The UIGEA put severe restrictions on US banks, making it unlawful for them to fund accounts on online poker sites. Ways around this abounded, including prepaid credit cards and money transfer sites, so the US took its legislation a step farther.
With Full Tilt Poker forced out of the US market, the future of Poker After Dark is uncertain. While NBC has not indicated that they plan to drop Poker After Dark, the show still faces challenges because the US Justice Department has charges of bank fraud, money laundering, and unlawful gambling pending against Full Tilt Poker, the show’s chief sponsor.
Perhaps the show will find a center of operations that isn’t the United States, or perhaps the show will find other funding, since Full Tilt may have to pull out, given that the North American Poker Tour, previously sponsored by PokerStars.com, was eliminated from broadcasting in the US due to this new, oppressive legislation.

Poker After Dark's pro/celeb week, entitled 'Moving Violations' featured a lineup of poker pros and Hollywood celebs such as Jennifer Tilly, Don Cheadle as well as producer Randall Emmett. A video shared on Youtube described it as: 'Moving Violations' week was all about Hollywood, but in one hand, Antonio Esfandiari attempts to felt his star-studded counterparts. Jennifer Tilly has top set and Don Cheadle has top two, but 'The Magician' wants to gamble with his draw for a $250,000 pot.' On Poker After Dark last week, a roster of Hollywood celebrities and poker pros had given 39-year-old Iranian poker pro Antonio Esfandiari a good chance to make a nice profit off of playing against gamble-happy non-poker pros in a juicy $50/$100 NLHE cash game. Of course, in the end he won a lot, but the highlight of his experience here is that his largest profit came in the form of sheer dumb luck after making a decision most would expect to be pulled off by an amateur with too much money on their hands. Before the extraordinary hand took place, Esfandiari at the time had a nice stack of more than $370,000, and holding just Queen of spades and Jack of hearts, he was battling the round in a three-way pot with Don Cheadle (Ace of spades, 10 of diamonds) and Jennifer Tilly (double Aces), with a flop of 8 of clubs, Ace of hearts, and 10 of clubs. As you can imagine, it doesn't look great for ‘The Magician' at that point.
Unfortunately for Jennifer Tilly, who lost the most in this pot as Esfandiari scooped his sweet $283,000 pot, skyrocketing his stack over the $500,000 mark, but Don Cheadle appeared remarkably unhappy over his $65,000 loss, considering he's an actor who earns millions of dollars a movie.

| hehehe crazy | |||

| I do not think is normal for a player like Antonio Esfandiari to pay all in for an nine or for a king. It is very strange this hand because is poker live not online. I do not know what rules is for this poker after dark but we are talking about a very large amount of money. Professional players did not call all in a big amount of money for hazard. | |||
| Mober | 22/03/2018 15:40:51 GMT | ||
| If you have the money, why not calling this one right? He was up for a straight with two cards, and as he said he gambled and he got it. What about chances here, percentage and all that It is called luck. | |||
| CALICUL | 22/03/2018 15:50:25 GMT | ||
it's about the amount of money, is too much money for call. For this reason (9, k or hazard) it is called Dumb Call... | |||
| Mober | 22/03/2018 15:55:45 GMT | ||
| So for less money, it would have been a less dumb call, calling at that point an all in while chasing? Flop someone goes all in and you call, that hand with his cards? I wouldnt. But i am not a professional player either way, nor playing at these limits | |||
| CALICUL | 22/03/2018 16:04:14 GMT | ||
dumb call because these players pay all stack for a winning card. I hate this players because they are the ones who ruin your dreams... | |||
| Sandmanilo | 22/03/2018 17:43:57 GMT | ||
| After playing online for several years, I don't longer wonder about this call. People there make much weirder calls But in this case I think Esfandiari called mostly for spectacular reasons, if there wouldn't such calls in such kind of TV shows the amount of viewers would be lower. | |||
| shokaku | 22/03/2018 18:51:51 GMT | ||
| He has a double belly buster, and with that action at the flop he can be sure to not spilt the pot if he hits his straight. So against two opponents he is priced in, as he can't face another big bet at the turn 'cause the stacks are already to low. | |||
| pochui | 22/03/2018 21:43:09 GMT | ||
| yeah one can question whether this is just a hand to generate more buzz for the show or has esfandiari really lost his brainz for a second. in terms of percentages its not a good call to make, but on the other hand winners anot be judged. | |||
| callie28 | 22/03/2018 22:05:13 GMT | ||
| i love the magician,my all time fav,although it just adds fuel to the 'Poker,skill or luck'thing,still think you need the luck to be good but you need the skill to be great...gl all you calling stations... ,we have to love poker no matter what... | |||
| doubletop777 | 23/03/2018 08:54:31 GMT | ||
| I really thought that this was a very dubious call and i would never have done it. It proves that, no matter how good a player you are and Antonio is one of the best out there, you do need to get lucky as well | |||
| Tony_MON7ANA | 23/03/2018 21:51:15 GMT | ||
| Did Antonio have a bigger stack than Cheadle and Tilly did? It was certainly a loose call but his QJ had roughly 27% equity when all the chips went in the middle. He knew he wasn't drawing dead on the flop. | |||
| pajalnick | 24/03/2018 10:33:37 GMT | ||
| when I see such distributions in poker tournaments ..... and especially when well-known players are playing this way my attitude to poker is changing .... I'm starting to think that the ability to play does not really need to be in poker, but it all depends on luck ... I know that this is wrong, but this feeling | |||
| Sandmanilo | 24/03/2018 11:33:25 GMT | ||
| The funniest news about Antonio Esfandiari I have read so far is that he was disqualified from the PCA Main Event back in 2016 for peeing under the table. | |||
| ligador37 | 24/03/2018 14:23:18 GMT | ||
| Dumb call indeed. This shows that bad players are not only in online poker. For the money I had to put in the pot, it was a clear fold. But you see that he is not interested in money, because his reaction was as if he had earned a small sum. And he did not think so much about calling. Maybe she should have played the hand twice! | |||
| pajalnick | 25/03/2018 10:41:25 GMT | ||
ha ha .... after that I will not be surprised at all from this obviously crazy person ..... if he allows himself such crazy acts then his game in this hand is a usual thing for him ..... maybe of course. ..... no ..... it can not be justified ..... it must be checked for normality ... and I know the result | |||
| Mober | 25/03/2018 12:37:42 GMT | ||
| I have never heard of this incident before. How hard was it to leave the table for a moment, to go to the toilet? That was rude and disgusting. Their decision disqualifying him, from the tournament, was a right one. | |||
| Calmplay | 25/03/2018 12:37:46 GMT | ||
| I really love the PAD show and I can't find any site where I can watch it through online streaming of the new recent shows, anyone can help? | |||
| CALICUL | 25/03/2018 15:43:41 GMT | ||
| I read about it and it is very ugly what did he do Antonio Esfandiari. It was a bizarre thing. I think he bet someone that he has the courage to do so. This option is possible or he wanted to revenge the owner of that place. It is hard to believe that he could not stand up and find a wc. | |||
| ligador37 | 25/03/2018 16:34:39 GMT | ||
| Maybe it was going well, and he thought that if he got up he lost his luck XD I am playing sometimes and I think that. hahaha, 'cabalas' I think the decision to get him out of the tournament was good, it's a lack of respect. I have also seen where players have been sanctioned for going to the bathroom and not waiting for the break (they are sanctioned not by playing a couple of hands). | |||
| TheMachineQC | 25/03/2018 17:16:56 GMT | ||
| 3 way pot with 27%, it's not that bad. I'm guessing they already put a decent amount in the pot preflop, and he knows he has the best possible draw on that board to beat made hands. He chose to play QJo pre flop, he can't just fold on that flop. I totally understand his play. It is loose but there is a logic to it and he knew he was gambling but that's what poker is at the end of the day, gambling. ------------
It was a prop bet against Bill Perkins and it was probably for a much bigger amount than the 5600$ buy in of that tournament. He had to pee everywhere he went apparently. Weird bet lol | |||
| Sandmanilo | 25/03/2018 18:12:07 GMT | ||
I also didn't find The new Poker After Dark episodes on youtube or other free services, but those are available at the video subscription service ***removed by admin*** (referral link).Some videos there are free, but most are by subscription.
Yeah, I understand this call also, if it was a penny tourney, especially bounty one, I would call this also But there was a huge sum in the pot,I think he knew that he was calling with -EV. | |||
