PPT Season 2 on the Travel Channel

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

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

The PPT Season 2 promises to bring TV viewers the cream ofthe 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.

The shows take the viewers through the tournament start to conclusion, focusing on one featured table each day of the event. However, every time a player goes “All-In” anywhere in the room, cameras rush to the table to catch the action. As many as 15 tables will get their moment in the sun with “All-In” actions throughout the preliminary rounds.

Enticed by five “free-roll” tournaments with a total of $2.5 million in prize money provided by the PPT, the game’s legends and new young idols face off in four grueling quarters of tournament play and one championship round. 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, and Jennifer Harman just to name a few.

The Final Table is distinctive as well. 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.
