February 11, 2008 marks the start for the Best Damn Poker Show, a highly-anticipated poker reality series featuring poker pros Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke. These players will captain two teams of 18 poker players who have to battle it out for over seven weeks to prove who’s the better poker professor.
The show will also feature poker stoked celebrities like Jennifer Tilly, Sully Erna (from Godsmack), and Scott Ian (from Anthrax).
Fox Sports Net will begin airing the reality poker series on Monday, February 11th at 9pm, 11pm and 12:30am local time.
Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke each handpicked nine players from a field of 36 to join their team. Contestations vided for a spot on the show online. They created and submitted their own audition videos demonstrating why they deserved to be on the new poker reality series. Players were also encouraged to take part in a series of online qualifiers for spots in the televised audition process.
The 18 selected players were transported to the luxurious Pechanga Resort and Casino in California to be a part of the seven-week series.
