The intricate relationship between poker and TV continues in the UK with the announcement that award-winning show Poker Night Live has launched a new series of poker.

The Poker Night Live Series of Poker (PNLSOP) will be played across various disciplines and culminate in a live final.

To make it happen Pokerzone has joined forces with Poker333 to run this series of high profile televised events in a search for the very best and most committed TV poker players.

The PNLSOP will take place on Poker333.com, with the key intention of finding a true, all round and highly-skilled poker champion. Throughout the Series, players will put their skills to the test in a number of poker disciplines, including cash games, MTTs and STTs.

Performances will be monitored and will contribute to an overall league table, the monthly winner of which will receive a seat at the six-monthly PNLSOP televised final table.

PNLSOP winners will win a large cash prize as well as a place in the new “Hall of Fame”, an exclusive bracelet and of course bragging rights to be one of the most advanced and cunning poker players around!

As part of the PNLSOP, Pokerzone will be holding regular ‘themed’ nights that focus on a particular form of poker and the techniques needed to beat that particular game. King of Cash Nights will be held weekly and dedicated to cash games, including both Hold’em and Omaha.

Single Table Tournament (STT) nights will examine the profitable tactics in these games and MTT nights will also be held with an emphasis being placed on Multi Table Tournament strategy and tactics.

Pokerzone has lined up a number of special commentator appearances from some of the most respected and knowledgeable figures in the industry. These guests will appear throughout the show to offer tips and advice on specific areas of play for example Cash, STT, Omaha and MTT.

‘We are very excited about this partnership with Poker333. We have placed the emphasis on education and hope to find some world class players who haven’t yet discovered their poker potential,” says Sam Orams, Creative Director, Pokerzone.

“The launch of the Poker Night Live Series of Poker will be unique in televised poker content and we hope to develop our viewers’ game and performance levels within a competitive environment.”

Andrew Tracey, at Poker333 commented, “Our partnership with Pokerzone is very important to us and we greatly look forward to the launch of the Poker Night Live Series of Poker. We hope the content will excite as well as educate our viewers and we look forward to helping our customers become more skilful and all-round poker players.”
