Late Night Poker Coverage Returns

Late Night Poker Ace 2 is the search for the world's best amateur poker player. 32 qualifiers make-up the final tournament tables from online qualifiers. Late Night Poker Masters pits the top eight amateurs from Late Night Poker Ace 2 against 24 specially invited top professionals, including players from the original Late Night Poker Series. Amongst those taking part are The Hendon Mob, Marcel Luske, Peter Costa, Tony G, Kenna James, Surinder Sunar and Ken Lennard.

The commentary team for both events is Jesse May, Simon Trumper and Barny Boatman and the programme is presented by Victoria Coren. The total prize pool for both Late Night Poker Ace 2 and the Masters is $410,000, with $50,000 going to the winner of Late Night Poker Ace 2 and $100,000 going to the eventual winner of the Masters.

A PartyPoker.com spokesman said, "The gap between the abilities of the pros and amateurs is narrowing all the time. There are some truly remarkable hands, lay downs and table banter in this series."
