Poker On TV Update

Poker After Dark remains in rerun. Best Damn and the WSOP Europe have ended their runs. There's nothing new to add to the poker on TV schedule this week. The EPT Dortmund will be airing on EPT Live next Friday and Saturday.

Over the last week we ran a poll asking what you thought of the World Poker Tour's future. 65% of you think the WPT will be sold; 22% of you think it will be out of business a year from now; and 14% of you think it will remain an independent company. Of those who think the WPT will be sold, 2/3 think it will be sold to Full Tilt Poker and 1/3 think it will be sold to someone else.

This week's newsbites:

• The National Heads-Up Poker Championship brackets are now up. Hevad Khan replaced Ivan Demidov at the last minute.
• The WPT added a second overseas tournament for season 8 sponsored by an online poker room, this one in Marrakech.
• Shannon Shorr felt slighted at not being invited to the National Heads-Up Poker Championship, but Shane Schleger thinks he's delusional.
• The Las Vegas Sun had a nice article about the High Stakes Poker season 5 taping, including Jennifer Harmon having to explain to a producer what a sweater is in pokerspeak.
• Chris Tessaro, in an interesting article in the Toronto Sun, talked about what created the poker boom and the current state of poker on TV.
• Podcasts: Mori Eskandani was on Wise Hand Poker and AJ Benza was on Ante Up.
