Poker After Dark is back on the screens on July 14th

Poker After Dark's season 4 premieres late night on July 14^th, with the airing of a cash game instead of the usual tournament-style freezeout.

The rest of the players at the table are also well known names in the world of poker, the Cirque du Soleil co-founder and CEO, Guy Laliberte is a passionate high-stakes poker player, same as David Peat, who’s a professional high-stakes cash game player in Las Vegas.
