I am happy to pass on news via PM but won't spoil the thread ahead of Oct 3rd transmission

Here plz

You wouldn't be bored if dreeniemachiney was playing on the t.v. - sighhhh one day dreenie, one day ...
Why do u want to know boba fetter?? - Surely this just takes all the enjoyment out of it?

Watching poker is about as dull as dull gets.

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

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.”

That it?

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.
