Professional Poker Tour Poker All-Stars

The highly anticipated Professional Poker Tour (PPT) from the creator of the phenomenally successful World Poker Tour (WPT), will showcase poker's 250 leading stars in a new and exciting format, destined to ratchet up televised poker to a whole new level.

The action-packed new series will thrill fans with great strategy, cool moves and hot stars beginning July 5 on the Travel Channel.

The PPT will bring to TV viewers the cream of the crop, 250 of the top poker players in the world. The first season of jam-packed action will stretch over 24 weeks, spotlighting a stellar lineup of poker's All-Stars -- champions from the WPT, World Series of Poker, and European poker tournaments.

Famous poker faces include Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Johnny Chan, Annie Duke, Phil Hellmuth, Gus Hansen, Men "The Master" Nguyen, Chris Moneymaker, Antonio Esfandiari, Bobby Baldwin, Daniel Negreanu, Jennifer Harman, David "Devilfish" Ulliott, Samy Farha, Mel Judah, Scotty Nguyen, Erick Lindgren, Phil "The Unabomber" Laak, Huck Seed, Tom McEvoy, Layne Flack, Carlos Mortensen, Chip Reese, Erik Seidel, Lyle Berman, Kathy Liebert, T.J. Cloutier, and Linda Johnson.

The Final Table is distinctive from other poker tournaments. Players at the Final Table must beat the 90-second clock in making their play or surrender their hand. A player may invoke his "time bank allowance" to extend that time period only once during the Final Table play. Another unique feature of the PPT includes a royal blue Final Table felt, instead of the traditional green.
