Poker After Dark returns on Monday for more elite high stakes cash game action on NBC.

The $150,000 Cash Game will play out over two weeks with a star studded line up expected to grind at the felt.

Greg Mueller will make his Poker After Dark debut. The 2009 World Series of Poker World Championship of Limit Hold’em winner will face off against Olivier Busquet, Phil Laak, Howard Lederer, Eli Elezra and David ‘Viffer Peat.

Busquet is also making his first appearance. The New York native’s finest moment came at the 2009 World Poker Tour Borgata Poker Open. Busquet capped a remarkable turn around in heads up play to land a $1 million jackpot.

Poker After Dark will then return to screens on April 4. Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan, Annette Obrestad, Eric ‘basebaldy’ Baldwin, Doyle Brunson and Andrew Lichtenberger will be among the players hoping to run deep in a $50,000 Sit n Go.

April 11 will mark a Poker After Dark first. Pot Limit Omaha will make its debut with Phil Ivey, Brian Hastings, Phil Galfond and Brandon Adams starring in a two week extravaganza on NBC.

Poker After Dark will air at 2.05am (ET) from Monday to Friday. A special ‘Directors Cut’ will broadcast on Saturdays at 1am (ET).

Leeann Tweeden will continue as hostess with Ali Nejad in the commentary booth.
