WPT Along With Fox Sports Network Launch New Poker Show

WPT Enterprises announced last July it was gearing up for seventh season of the World Poker Tour on the Fox Sports Network. What seems like right off the heels of that announcement is another one regarding a brand new poker show to debut on FSN as well. In collaboration with the WPT, the new show is titled ClubWPT.com and will feature non-professional poker players competing against each other on the felt.

Amateur poker players will have their moment to shine just like the poker pros do on this nationally televised program. Players will have the opportunity to win seats to the show through the WPT online subscription website in addition to qualifiers which will run consecutively for six nights at 10p.m. on ClubWPT.com. This is an exciting opportunity for players as they do not have to come up with high buy-in amounts to participate. Each week, six successful players from the United States and Canada will earn their right to play in the live poker tournament for cash prizes.

Qualifying players will have the chance to “come on down” to Los Angeles with roundtrip airfare, a two-night stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village as well as spending money and special VIP privileges. VIP treatment will include being whisked away to the ClubWPT.com poker lounge and play live in front of millions of poker fans. “Live at the Bike” announcer Bart Hansen along with Fox Sports Network Sportscaster Barry Tompkins, will provide the audience with running commentary on each played hand. The lovely Alison Waite will be the hostess of the brand new show.

“Poker is the only sport that allows the everyday Joe to go up against the professionals and win life-changing money and celebrity status. And we all want to be in that seat, but most of us don’t have the opportunity to invest the time or money to be a pro and play in big casinos games,” commented WPT Founder, President and CEO Steve Lipscomb. He further added, “ClubWPT.com gives you the opportunity - six nights a week, in your own home - to win a seat on national television and the chance to live the dream.”

FSN Executive VP of Programming and Production, George Greenberg stated, “The World Poker Tour, the most respected brand name in poker, has long been the leader in poker innovation and they continue that trend with this series. ClubWPT.com is the premier place offering amateur poker players the opportunity to experience the status and cache usually reserved for the biggest names in poker.”

This latest television poker venture is further evidence of just how popular and main stream the game of poker has become. Fans can catch the show’s premier Sunday, October 5^th at 4p.m. with the show re-airing at 11p.m. as well for those not able to view it during its regular time slot.
