New season of Poker After Dark starts Monday Jan 2nd

7th season kicks off with a match of unparalleled intensity



The 7th season of NBC’s Poker After Dark debuts on Monday, January 3 with a match for the record books. The customary $20,000 buy-in for a PAD freezeout has been increased to $100,000 for this match, which will feature six of the game's top pros competing for the winner-take-all first prize of $600,000!

Those competing in this epic matchup are John Juanda, Erick Lindgren, Phil Galfond, Huckleberry Seed, Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey. With 18 WSOP bracelets between them and combined lifetime live tournaments winnings of nearly $42 million, without question this is one of the most formidable lineups ever assembled on Poker After Dark, and viewers are indeed in for a special treat.

Huck Seed is a beast Ill be rooting for him

Nice, looking forward to this one.

Cool ... no more deleting all the reruns... I taped

FYP

go galfond!

That's one heck of a matchup. I'll be looking forward to watching this one.

Nice can't wait to see this go ivey

This is definitely a must watch. A good line up with a lot more money at stake. I really enjoy watching TV poker when there's this much money to play for. I'm picking Ivey to win.

Galfond FTW!!! Can't wait to watch this, It's going to be so epic!

cool, thanks for the heads up

Now all we need is to get some side bets going on winners, first out, etc

Apparently they shot a new opener for this season's PAD that features Dwan and Hellmuth.

They also moved the taping to the Aria. (used to be the Golden Nugget)

Wonder if they'll show this too:
Huck Seed
Tom Dwan just bet me 200 I wouldent eat a red bell pepper. It was part of the set and he thought it was plastic

Huck Seed
It was one of the best bell peppers I've tasted. Life is good!

I was getting tired of deleting reruns too and this lineup looks terrific. Great way to start the year.

My DVR has failed.where can the new ones be watched online?

finally...it seems like they've been airing reruns forever now. i hope they are playing cash games...as opposed to tournament style.

Bump ?

does anyone know where you can watch this online, we dont have it live in my country of Ireland

Thanks for informing its a new season. I will try to watch some here and there.

Yeah, thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely try to catch some hands. If Dwan is on his game he'll be tough. Of course, I guess I could say that about any of them!

Thx alot coolnout

I am concerned that they did not invite all of us.

its always great watching elite players that have several hundred thousand on the line... great tv

Anyone notice that Juanda stare down is as intimidating as Ivey.

All of the episodes are actually in parts on youtube, good quality too. Just finished watching the season 3 table when Gavin Smith won.

YouTube - PAD s3e12p1 - 19th hole

will this be on tomorrow night as well?

they always air a director's cut on saturday.

Sweet, been watching this. Go durrrr!!!!

NBC at 2:00 AM ET

I love it when announcers say dumb things. "Look at Ivey studying the players intently even though he isn't in the hand." I'm pretty sure Ivey's eyes were closed trying to sleep lulz.

Funny how pretty much everyone knocked out, tried to slow roll a hand. JonJ with AA, Galfond with his A9 min raise, and Dwan with his JJ. I'd much rather win a small pot, than lose a big one.

What did Phil Ivey think he could beat with his pocket 6's. I understand heads up theyre a pretty good hand, but when someones raising you, at best you could be up against two overs. Do you really want to risk half a mil on a coin toss?

It's been good so far.

Gonna be an exciting season!

slowplay, not slowroll -- just saying.

Below this line I talk about the end of the game. SPOILER WARNING:

------

I was wondering about the Ivey 66 call as well. The best I figure is that he had some sort of read on Seed from prior experiences or the recent shoving matches between Seed and Dwan and thought he was ahead of something like A2-A5, or coin tossing on any non-pair. It also felt like the players were getting a little antsy towards the end and wanted to get out of there... so going for a coin toss perhaps wasn't so bad with the blinds getting high... idk.

Slow playing and slow rolling are synonymous terms. Do some research if you need to -- just saying.

I guess what you say makes a lot of sense. It did seem as though they were different towards the end. But endurance is a huge part of skill in tournament poker. Who cares how good you are in the beginning, if you can't finish the job properly in a HU situation, especially in a winner takes all tournament.
