Tom Dwan made his long-awaited return to 'televised' poker on Monday night when PokerGO launched the reboot of Poker After Dark. The show was streamed live at the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, and the poker world tuned in to watch a $200/400 cash game that had more than $2 million on the table.
It took some time for the production crew to solve some audio and graphics issues early during the live stream, but the kinks were ironed out in time to capture what might be the most ridiculous cooler the show has ever seen.
Just watch for yourself.
Poker After Dark resumes Tuesday night at the same time, 8 p.m. EST, only on PokerGo. Dwan will again take center stage on the stream, joined by Jean-Robert Bellande, Andrew Robl, Bill Klein, Lauren Roberts, and the legendary Doyle Brunson.

The popular show High Stakes Poker debuted in early 2006, with the first season lasting 13 episodes. Throughout the show's run, episodes were culled from multi-day sessions, so often the same players would be sitting around the table from week to week, although new players were frequently rotated in to change the makeup of the game.
Years later the shows remain highly entertaining, and can even be educational. For new poker players they introduce the game while illustrating many strategic concepts, while those with experience can watch and recognize how certain strategies have evolved over the years since the shows aired.

We're continuing our look back at Season 1, today reviewing Episode 11. One storyline being followed in this episode concerns Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Hellmuth both trying to bounce back after enduring six-figure losses in the previous show. Meanwhile Daniel Negreanu is around $725,000 in the hole for the season when this one begins.
Jerry Buss returns to the table as well after having won during his previous appearance. E mail adresse 888 poker 2017. Jennifer Harman, Todd Brunson, and Johnny Chan likewise return to the game.
Hellmuth emerges during the second half of the episode as the center of attention (as usual). Gabe Kaplan foreshadows that development somewhat during the introduction when commenting on Hellmuth's cash game skills.
'Phil is not as bad as they say he is,' says Kaplan, referring to the other players. 'And Phil is not as good as he says he is.'
Negreanu and Hellmuth clash in a couple of entertaining hands (at the 26:00 mark, then again at the 35:00 mark), with each player winning once. Spoiler alert — after the one Hellmuth loses, the censor has to bleep a lot of the Poker Brat's post-hand commentary.
Watch as well for the nice sequence of appreciations of Doyle Brunson delivered by some of the other players (starting at the 12:30 mark).
