Sky Poker, the first multiplatform poker room, is launching two new TV shows, 'Stacked Up' and 'Sky Poker Unlimited'. Both shows continue Sky Poker’s tradition of delivering entertaining and educational poker programming to UK poker fans.

Stacked Up focuses on the art of playing cash poker and will introduce the stars of the game to the nation. Stacked Up is a weekly show that will see teams of three players compete in online cash poker games, with all the action being screened on Sky Poker Channel 846. Teams will be made up of expert poker players, Sky Poker analysts as well as novice players. Teams win in Stacked Up by increasing their bankroll by a larger percentage than the other teams, so even teams with the smallest of bankrolls will be able to compete and win.

“As the first TV show focused entirely on cash games, Stacked Up will be a revolution in TV poker programming,” said Pete Ward, Head of Channels for Sky Poker and Sky Bingo. “Stacked Up is the just the latest show to launch on Channel 846 as we constantly look to bring exciting, entertaining and educational content to the community of Sky Poker players.”

Stacked Up will be a fast paced show split into two 50 minute sessions. The first shows will be hosted by Tony ‘Tikay’ Kendall and Norman Pace but the other familiar faces from Sky Poker will also host the show in the future. Stacked Up will be screened every Tuesday at 8.00pm on Sky Poker Channel 846.

Sky Poker Unlimited is another new show which has launched on Sky Poker Channel 846. Sky Poker Unlimited tours the virtual world of SkyPoker.com and brings in-depth analysis from the Sky Poker team on all the major events, games and tournaments in the Sky Poker lobby, including Multi-Table Tournaments, Cash Tables, Sit N' Go's and Satellite Tournaments.

“With so much action happening at Sky Poker it is easy to miss the most exciting moments from the various tournaments,” Ward continued. “Sky Poker Unlimited is hosted by the regular Sky Poker hosts and features the best bits from all of our tournaments, including The Open, Velolcity and The Five 0.”
