Late Night Poker
Late Night Poker is a British television series that helped popularize poker in the 2000s. It used "under the table" cameras that enabled the viewer to see each player's cards.
The show originally ran for six series between 1999 and 2002. After a couple of spin-off series, Late Night Poker Ace and Late Night Poker Masters, it returned in 2008.
The series returned to Channel 4 for its 10th series in 2011. Sponsored by Gala Coral Group, 32 players competed for the $150,000 first prize. Commentary on the series was provided by two of the UK's top poker professionals, Victoria Coren and James Akenhead.
Some of the top players in action were Luke Schwartz, Roberto Romanello, Vanessa Selbst, Jake Cody, James Bord and Liv Boeree. The field contained five former Late Night Poker champions, Dave Ulliott (also known as Devilfish), Simon Trumper, Padraig Parkinson, Peter Costa and John Duthie.
The series was broadcast on Tuesday nights after midnight from 3 October – 6 December 2011.
In 1999, Channel 4 accepted a proposal from the Cardiff-based production company Presentable to create a poker tournament television series. At the time, poker had not been broadcast on UK television. The project became Late Night Poker.
The first series aired in July 1999 and quickly developed a steady following. The programme featured a low-lit studio setting and professional poker players competing at the table. The game format was No Limit Texas Hold'Em, which was relatively unfamiliar in the United Kingdom at the time.
The first series was won by Dave Ulliott who became the UK's first poker celebrity. Other players who became regulars on the series included Series 2 winner, Simon Trumper, Surinder Sunar, Liam Flood, Dave Colclough, Kourosh and the 4 players known collectively as the Hendon Mob, Joe Beevers, Barny Boatman, Ross Boatman and Ram Vaswani.
