The
Poker After Dark season 5 schedule was
announced by NBC. There will be 13 weeks of shows (up from 10 in past seasons) premiering on February 16 (the three remaining weeks of
season 4 will be shown first, starting December 29). Season 5 features seven weeks of cash games and six weeks of tourneys. The cash games will be $200/400 no-limit hold 'em with a min/max buy-in of $100,000/$250,000 (250 bb - 625 bb). Some of the cash game lineups are incredible, and one of them, Railbird Heaven, promises to show players flipping for stacks (Daniel Negreanu
wrote about it on his blog, but beware of spoilers). The full

Phil Hellmuth wrote about a couple of hands he played on the upcoming PAD season on CardPlayer. They were from the two weeks of cash game shows called "Hellmuth Bash." He notes that there were $100 antes and players redrew for seats halfway though the taping.
