Hellmuth, Brunson big targets on Poker After Dark

If you missed it the first time around, Week 5 of Poker After Dark is replaying this week on NBC with two 10-time World Series of Poker bracelet winners adding flare to the all-pro, high-stakes poker game.

Doyle Brunson and Phil Hellmuth have each made two prior appearances on the show, but this was their first time playing against each other on Poker After Dark.

They are joined by Antonio Esfandiari, Phil Laak, Erik Seidel and Jennifer Harman, all of whom made their first appearance on the show in this episode.

The question is: Will the Poker Brat and Texas Dolly be able to do better than their prior bests of fourth place, or will the fresh blood in the game hold them back once again?

Check your local listings to find out when you can tune in to see how the game plays out through the week and catch the weekly wrap-up on Saturday after Saturday Night Live.

The following two weeks will also be rebroadcasts. So next week is your chance if you missed the Poker Analysts Week that included Mike Sexton, Gabe Kaplan, Chad Brown, Howard Lederer, Phil Gordon and Michael Konik.

The week of April 9 will be the replay of the game between Chris Ferguson, Clonie Gowen, Sam Farha, Gus Hansen, Ted Forrest and Tony G.

Several pros will be making their Poker After Dark debut the week of April 16 when it returns with all new episodes.

Tune in to see Mike Matusow and Shan Sheikhan return to take on newcomers Allen Cunningham, David Benyamine, Barry Greenstein and John Juanda.
