James Woods vs. The Unabomber on Poker Royale

It's an old-fashioned poker showdown between Hollywood star James Woods' team and poker pro Phil Laak's team in The James Woods Gang Vs. The Unabombers in Poker Royale.

The series is premiering on Friday, October 7 and poker enthusiasts will be able to enjoy two hours of the best poker players in action every Friday night on GSN.

In The James Woods Gang Vs. The Unabombers in Poker Royale, actor James Woods and Phil "The Unabomber" Laak (1st in the 2004 World Poker Tour Main Event and host of E!'s Hollywood Hold 'Em) choose their own teams to battle it out over seven episodes.

Filmed at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, California, the series features a prize-pot topping $75,000 and bragging rights as to who captained the best team.

On Woods' team are Kathy Liebert (ranked in the top 20 players of all time, winner of POKER ROYALE: BATTLE OF THE SEXES), Bob Goen (Entertainment Tonight), Ted Forrest (five World Series of Poker bracelets), Susie Isaacs (two World Series of Poker bracelets) and Nicole Sullivan (Mad TV, The King of Queens).

Playing for the Unabombers are Jennifer Tilly (2005 WSOP and WPT ladies' events winner), Cyndy Violette (1st Place 2004 World Series of Poker Seven Card Stud), Danny Masterson (That 70's Show), Hassan Habib (2nd Place 2004 World Poker Tour Championship) and Gail O'Grady (NYPD Blue, American Dreams).

The team captains decide which players participate in each match at the coveted final table. All players play a minimum of three games, earning points based on where they finish, hoping to bluff, call and check their fearless challengers. First place in each match earns ten points, second place receives eight points, third place is six points, fourth place is four points, fifth place receives two points. The team with the highest points from the qualifying matches has a chip count advantage going into the finale.

The James Woods Gang Vs. The Unabombers in Poker Royale is part of GSN's poker franchise POKER ROYALE airing every Friday.
