MORE POKER FOR THE WEB
31 July 2009
ESPN's new web-only poker show looks like a
winner
The online poker advertising website PokerStars.net and
U.S. television network ESPN are partnering in the
production of a new, web-only poker show titled "Inside
Deal," scheduled for screening early next (August 2009)
month.
PokerStars.net will carry the show, which
will be hosted by ESPN the Magazine contributor Laura
Lane, pro player and ESPN.com columnist Bernard Lee and
ESPN.com poker editor Andrew Feldman, and will give
poker fans a behind- the-scenes look at the poker
lifestyle, according to pre-publicity material released
this week.
The three months over which the show
is to be streamed will also provide a useful
interest-booster for the World Series of Poker Main
Event in November, with interviews of the the November
Nine final tablers and excerpts from this year's 40th
World Series of Poker.
Pokerheads will be
encouraged to use email, Twitter and Facebook to submit
comments and questions to personalities appearing on the
show in order to give the project an interactive
element, and there will be prize-winning competitions to
bolster involvement by the playing public.
The
first featured guest on "Inside Deal" is likely to be
Chris Moneymaker, who's epic come-from-nowhere Main
Event WSOP win back in 2003 really put the Internet
player on the map. Moneymaker started out with a $39
online satellite qualifier win that led to a Main Event
seat and a first place cash for $2.5 million.
Other top poker aces scheduled to appear on the new show
are Daniel Negreanu and Joseph Hachem.
