Poker Mom

Haley Hintze of PokerNews.com is reporting that the quite popular “Poker After Dark” will return for its fourth season starting on July 14.  Appearing on NBC, Poker After Dark follows a six person sit and go tournament format where the winner takes all.  The standard buy-in is $20,000 with the winner taking home the entire $120,000 prize pool. 

Poker After Dark fans are in for an exciting season four inaugural week.  Tom Dwan, Phil Hellmuth, Mike Baxter, Allen Cunningham, Guy Laliberte and David Peat will be playing in the cash-game format (as opposed to the tourney format).  Fans of NBC’s Heads-up Poker Championship will recall that Dwan and Hellmuth were involved in a feature table brouhaha in which Dwan hit a set of tens to knock Hellmuth and his pocket Aces out of the tournament.  In fine Hellmuth fashion, he went OFF.

According to Hintze’s report, “The debut week’s new cash-game format has the players starting with blinds of $200/400, with, according to the show’s press statements, plenty of straddles and prop bets. The minimum buy-in is $100,000, the maximum $250,000, and the minimum for rebuys is $50,000.”
