Late Night
Poker Is Back on Channel 4
Late Night Poker Is Back on
Channel 4 By staffWhen Late Night Poker first appeared
on Channel 4 in 1999, it revolutionised people's
perception of poker. It brought the game out of
the shadows and made it accessible to everyone.
For the first time on television it exposed the
exciting drama inherent in the game and sparked
a nationwide obsession with poker.
Seven years later poker is the epitome of cool,
lauded in the broadsheets, celebrated in the glossies,
played by celebrities, and by just about everybody
else too.
This year an exciting new event, organised by PartyPoker.com,
takes place. Late Night Poker Ace is a unique new
tournament to find the very best amateur poker player
in the UK, with a prize pot of ?100,000. Qualification
for the tournament is online, and the best 42 players
will battle in Cardiff in July in a fiercely competitive
series of heats to discover a new poker star –
the very first Late Night Poker Ace champion.
