"FSN is pleased to be the new home of the WPT, the foremost brand in
televised poker," said George Greenberg, FSN Executive Vice President
of Programming and Production. "This season promises the biggest names,
the highest stakes and the most drama and we are very excited to watch
all the action unfold."
Season VII's new one-hour, two-part format continues to provide
sports-style analysis and high-stakes hands from WPT's world-renowned
tournaments. Season VII also gives viewers a front-row seat to watch
poker history, anticipating such milestones as the $400 million mark
for prize money awarded and the 100th WPT Poker-Made Millionaire
crowned. Fans will also see many familiar faces back at the final
table, including WPT Season IV Player of the Year Gavin Smith, Mike
"The Mouth" Matusow and David "the Dragon" Pham.
"Not only are we excited to bring our seventh season to the
airwaves, we're ecstatic to be a part of one of the leading networks
for sports, FSN," said Steve Lipscomb, WPT Founder, President, and CEO.
"Together, WPT and FSN continue to bring the action into living rooms
and put fans on the edge of their seats."
Hosts Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten are back to call the action,
while a new face-WPT Live Updates Hostess Amanda Leatherman-joins the
team to conduct sideline interviews. The action is recorded from the
most prestigious gaming destinations on the WPT circuit: Bellagio in
Las Vegas, The Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles, Borgata Hotel, Casino
& Spa in Atlantic City, Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls,
Ont., Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., Beau Rivage in
Biloxi, Miss., Commerce Casino in Los Angeles, and Bay 101 in San Jose,
Calif.
