Title: Late Night Poker is back, with Coral as its new sponsors
Post by: TightEnd on August 10, 2011, 08:14:04 AM
Late Night Poker is back, with Coral as its new sponsors. It first hit our screens in 1999 and literally changed the way we watch poker on TV.  It was Late Night Poker’s revolutionary hole-cams, allowing us to see the cards being played in real time that made poker a true spectator sport and sparked a genuine interest in the UK for the first time.  

In the early days, poker had an image of unsavoury characters playing in smoky backrooms which all changed on the back of Late Night Poker’s success.  As LNP grew, public perception changed the game into what we know and love today and propelled superstars such as Phil Hellmuth into household names.

We are gearing up for the show’s 13th season and it looks like it will be up there with the best of them.  There will be 32 players, including 28 pros, competing in four heats and a final table for the $320,000 prizepool and the title of Coral Late Night Poker Champion.  

The top two from each heat will progress to the final. To make things more interesting the winners of each leg will receive proportionally more chips than the runners up so you can be sure to see some strategy and aggression in the early rounds.
  
A selection of the confirmed players for this year includes:  
Ram, Joe, Barny and Ross of Hendon Mob fame,  Dave ‘Devil Fish’ Ulliott, Jake Cody, Liv Boeree, Vanessa Selbst, Sam Trickett, Huck Seed, John Duthie, Neil Channing, David Vamplew, Tony G, Peter Costa, Matt Perrins, Andrew Feldman, Kevin MacPhee, Padraig Parkinson and Melanie Weisner.  Series regular Victoria Coren will be provide commentary.

We have some old and new faces, WSOP bracelet winners, EPT and UKIPT winners, WPT winners and a simply insane amount of major tournament cashes between them.

As with previous seasons four of the 32 player field will be online qualifiers hoping to make a name for themselves by taking on their idols.  

Rest assured, whether they are seasoned pros or online qualifiers you can expect them to give it everything they have, which will make for an exciting show.

The action kicks off in August and will be aired on Channel 4 in October.  You can qualify exclusively on Coral.co.uk now.

Coral is going to be supporting blonde poker to promote the new series of LNP through filming and the shows. Thank you for their support

Like many, I think, the original series of LNP got me interested in poker. I thought we'd put some hands up from those early series and reminisce

I'll start off with one (you will have to forgive the Full Tilt stuff), from the very first episode

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXjuvvuKEoc

What I'd like from you is your memories of the early LNP's. Six early series, three Masters/Ace series and three more in 2008-10 to choose from

Or talk about LNP's role in your Poker hobby/career. I know it influenced a lot of people!

Like many, watching this and the early Poker Million shows was what got me playing poker in the first place. 

Many memories:

I remember the Pink Lady, who I think was Pascal Perrault's girlfriend/wife.  Her name was Lise Vigazzi or something like that.

Dave Welch and his Mrs played in these, prior to him getting caught up in some online site related grim.  (I remember them as they played in the early Cheeseypoker games, albeit prior to my playing them, so I half expected them to turn up some day - they never did).

I remember Hellmuth won one series but in another one got completely owned by a French player who just kept shoving on him (he taught me the word 'tapis')

Simon Trumper's ponytail.

Oh, and smoke, lots of smoke!  Watching the early series now is kind of like watching old football matches where they pass back to the keeper and he just picks the ball up.  It reminds you of how things used to be.

Thanks Sheriff for memories of this legendary programme.

I remember stumbling across it on TV and being completely enthralled, by the game, the players and of course Jesse's commentary.

Hamish Shah.

Everything Sherrif said, it was compulsive viewing after a few drinks on a Fri/Sat night. I knew absoutely nothing about poker pre LNP it didn't start my poker career really, that was more Rounders and a free $10 to play on Pacific but was certainly an influence.

Another one - the TD was always Thomas Kremser, and the main dealer was Marina (whom he later married).  I have no idea what the name of the mullet-haired other dealer was, btw!

My first ever live tournament was a LHE event at the 2004 Austrian Masters in Vienna (I qualified on Intertops poker, presumably RIP now!)  I felt like I was in the presence of a celebrity when Marina was rotated to deal at my table, all thanks to LNP!

I liked the look of classic LNP episodes. Black background. Green felt. Cigarette smoke. No on screen display. Big hands clashing with lots of lol hollywood acting.

Now a days it's standard tv table, internet qualifiers, commentary that to an extent knows what it's talking about, tournament director commenting on the hands. Not the same at all :(

Similar for me - my first live poker was on the Ladbrokes poker cruise and Marina was my first dealer and I was sat next to Lucy Rokach.

Amazing to think that first series of LNP was 12 years ago.

Found a clip of the final hand, which had to be the most bizarre end to one of the shows.

I had tried to forget Howard's jokes.

Devilfish was pretty good value - spent every evening playing pissed-up Omaha then getting his guitar out and singing in the bar.

Cringe city, possibly a shit 3 bet but in the context of the game Jac Arama had been in practically every hand upto that point, flatted any 3 bet and i hadnt been exactly folding either.  Also their were 3 other players to act after me.

In hindsight, I should have realised that with my boobs being slightly bigger than his, he would have put me on Aces 100% of the time in that spot  ;carlocitrone;

No surprise, given that it was so poorly advertised and had so few feeders available (the last feeder was on Saturday into a Tuesday evening tournament).

Pity, as I would have like to have played it, but was out last night.  I'm surprised the didn't have the main satellite on a weekend though.

Not only this, I was really shocked at the standard of play in this. I honestly face tougher opponents in $3 stars mtts than the majority of the people who were sat at my tables.

Obv didn't bink a seat tho. Anybody know who landed some airtime?

Watching poker is about as dull as dull gets.

Knowing who won is the only remotely interesting bit about it.

Leading British bookmaker Coral has demonstrated they are serious about poker through the sponsorship of the iconic TV show “Late Night Poker”.

Late Night Poker, produced by Presentable, part of Zodiak Media Group, returns to Channel 4 at 00:35 on the 3rd of October for its tenth season. 32 players will compete for a $320,000 prizepool and the coveted title of Late Night Poker Champion.

Coral provided four online qualifiers in Luke Davies, Adam Noone, Rob O’Kell and George Stewart who take their seats alongside 28 of the world’s best poker professionals. 

The professionals include some of finest and most entertaining players in the world including Luke Schwartz, Liv Boeree, Daniel (Jungleman12) Cates, Dave (Devilfish) Ulliot, the Hendon mob’s Ross and Barny Boatman and Ram Vaswani.

John Jordan, Commercial Director for Coral.co.uk, said “This sponsorship is perfect due to the collaboration of two great UK brands in Coral and Late Night Poker. We strongly believe that this will send out a clear message that Coral are serious not only about poker, but more importantly about UK Poker."

 Jordan added, “We are very excited to be working with Late Night Poker and having some of the best poker players in the world coming together on the very show that started the televised poker boom, all under the umbrella of the Coral brand is both a privilege and an honour. We are looking forward to not only this season, but many more in the future.”
 
The Tournament will be a $10,000 buy-in.  The 32 players will be spread across four tables with the top two of each one meeting on the final table.  There will be a $320,000 prizepool with the winner taking home $150,000.

first time I've watched LNP in ages.

its just nothing.  all the hands are so standard.

all the players are too 'good'.

get the old faces in there and a load of total randoms.

seriously we see enough of all these players already and they aren't anything special when they are playing shallow stacked poker.
