But only one will survive and claim the World Series of Poker seat.The 30-minute shows take four losing poker players and gives them an intensive month of training by the Devilfish. Each week one of Devilfish’s novices is eliminated and at the end of the series the winner receives a seat at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.
