Online poker site UltimateBet.net is now sponsoring a brand new sports news program on FSN. Poker2Nite is a weekly show that airs on Wednesdays at 11PM Eastern.
“‘Poker2Nite’s’ mission is to create something that hasn’t existed in the poker community yet: a unique poker TV show that takes fans into our world, seen through our eyes, and in our voice. Experience poker the way we do — with excitement, wit and a keen sense of humor. We’re creating our own little club, but all you have to do to gain access is love poker along with us. It’s going to be a wild ride so get on board,” said “Poker2Nite” linchpin Joe Sebok.
Unlike many other shows that discuss the game, Poker2Nite goes in-depth with the pros and players that shape the game and features a fun and knowledgable perspective from two of the most-trusted names in the game. In addition to the interviews and anchor desk segments, the show features multiple recurring segments that will help transform the poker narrative’s norm, taking it beyond hand replays and discussions of player tactics.
In addition to Joe Sebok and Scott Huff manning the anchor desk, popular poker reporters Lacey Jones and Dana Workman will helm a pair of regular segments. A familiar TV sitcom face, Workman presents “The Weekly Misdeal,” a segment focusing on the worst beats each week. Jones will hit the road as roving reporter in a regular spot “We’ll Do It Live!,” which deals out the scoop on the real men and women in poker’s land based pro circuit. Other recurring segments include exclusive guest interviews, a “Talk Soup” styled segment, Classic Hands v2.0, and Check, Raise, Fold?, which is likely to become an audience favorite as Sebok and Huff dissect what’s hot and what’s not in the fast-paced world of poker.
“Poker2Nite” offers a ‘fly on the wall’ point of view and it’s sure to have the same high-energy, fun attitude that both of the show’s hosts have shown at the tables and on TV in the past.
