Six More Players Will Compete for a $120,000 Prize Beginning Jan. 15 at 2:05 a.m. on NBC
Next week’s Poker After Dark (PAD) match will feature a few of the game’s wittiest and most outspoken players when it premieres early Tuesday morning at 2:05 a.m.
Gavin Smith, Sam Grizzle, Jean-Robert Bellande, Marianela Pereyra, Shawn Sheikhan, Phil Hellmuth
At a table appropriately named “Hecklers,” Gavin Smith, Sam Grizzle, Jean-Robert Bellande, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, Shawn Sheikhan, and Phil “The Poker Brat” Hellmuth will compete for the winner-take-all $120,000 prize. Highly accomplished and talented players with such strong personalities will make for an action-packed table.
Bellande and Grizzle are both making their PAD debuts. Perhaps Bellande will use the skills he learned on CBS’s Survivor: China to survive this table. Grizzle has a reputation for being the funnyman at the table, but it wasn’t so funny when Hellmuth and Grizzle got into a physical confrontation a few years ago at a poker table. Viewers can watch how these two handle one another in this pressure-filled tournament where there can be only one winner.
Smith, Hellmuth, and Sheikhan are all previous PAD winners looking to snag another title. Matusow has the worst record of them all at 0-6.
The five-episode tournament begins airing on Jan. 15 at 2:05 a.m. on NBC and continues each day in the same time-slot with the final episode airing on Saturday. On Sunday at 1 a.m., a special "director's cut" episode will recap the week's action.
