Heute ist es soweit und Poker After Dark kehrt mit Staffel 7 zurück auf die amerikanischen Bildschirme. Die Erfolgsproduktion von NBC wird von Full Tilt gesponsert und so sieht man in dieser Show all jene Stars, die man in den neuen Folgen von High Stakes Poker vermissen wird.
Eröffnet wird die neue Staffel gleich mit einem $100.000 Sit and Go. Sechs Spieler zahlen jeweils $100k und wie heißt es so schön – The winner takes ist all. Der Sieger dieses SnG geht mit satten $600.000 nach Hause. Allerdings wird dies keine leichte Aufgabe, denn schließlich nehmen mit John Juanda, Erick Lindgren, Phil Galfond, Huck Seed, Tom Dwan und Phil Ivey keine Anfänger am Tisch Platz.
Neu ist in Staffel 7, dass es gleich noch mehr Cashgame Wochen geben wird. Eine No Limit Hold’em Woche wird mit einem Buy-in von $100k gespielt, eine mit $150k und auch noch eine mit $200k. Auch Pot Limit Limit Omaha wird in einer Woche gespielt, hier wurde das Buy-in mit $100.000 festgesetzt.
Durch die vielen Cashgames bleibt weniger Zeit für die Sit and Gos und „Themenshows“. Drei werden es aber wieder sein – „Wishlist“, „Idol“ und „Big Heat“.
Während die Amis nur NBC Sports einschalten müssen, sind die europäischen Pokerfans auf die Online-Version auf nbcsports.msnbc.com angewiesen – oder wahlweise auf Youtube und Pokertube. Die Folgen sind relativ zeitnah online verfügbar.
