The week’s TV poker begins at 2.00AM on Monday morning with ESNPC’s coverage of the 2009 WSOPE Main Event in London (all times are EST).  Coverage continues at 2.00AM on April 26th and 27th, 1.30AM on Thursday 28th and Saturday 30th, and also at 2.30AM on April 30th.

If you want to see some of the biggest and best poker players on TV struggling to keep tells at bay and beads of sweat away from their brows, you just have to tune in to NBC’s superb high-stakes, winner-takes-all weekly tournament, Poker After Dark.  This week’s players are Patrik Antonius, Tom Dwan, Eli Elezra, Gabe Kaplan, David Peat and Alan Meltzer; the cards start to fly at 2.05AM on Tuesday 26th and again at the same time of April 27th and 28th.  At 1.01AM on Sunday May 1st, you can catch a wrap-up of the week.

For fans of another must-watch high-stakes poker tournament – High Stakes Poker on GSN –just tune in at your choice of shows starting every hour on the hour between 3.00PM and 11.00PM on Saturday April 30th, and between 7.00PM and 10.00PM on Sunday.  Like Poker After Dark, this show just has to rank as one of the very best of the week’s poker programming highlights – poker on TV just doesn’t get better than these first rate front-runners.  Watch the pros on High Stakes Poker put up hundreds of thousands of their own dollars every week; with big names like Daniel Negreanu, Doyle Brunson, Patrik Antonius and Tom Dwan taking part regularly, you won’t be disappointed.  

Put your feet up, study every nuance and move, and enjoy.
