New episodes of Poker After Dark on NBC keep rolling off the reel, and this week, U.S.A. will square off against Italy in a winner-take-all $20,000 buy-in six-handed tournament.
Making up the U.S. side is Howard Lederer, Erick Lindgren, and Chris Ferguson, who is fresh off of a win in last week’s “Magnificent Six,” in which he impressively eliminated all five players, including Lederer, to win the $120,000 top prize. Representing Italy is Marco Traniello, Max Pescatori, and Dario Minieri.
Both Minieri and Pescatori are making their first PAD appearance. Lindgren and Traniello have competed on PAD three times, but have not come up with a win. Lederer has a record of 2-6 and Ferguson is 2-7.
The show will air weeknights at 2:05 a.m. on NBC, with a special “Director’s Cut” edition aired after Saturday Night Live at 1 a.m.
