ULTIMATEBET.NET BEST DAMN POKER SHOW
The ULTIMATEBET.NET BEST DAMN POKER SHOW continues this week and the fireworks between team captains Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke flare up, as each tries to form the best team. When Hellmuth makes the mistake of insulting Duke's famous poker playing brother Howard Lederer, Duke blows up worse than the notoriously short-tempered Hellmuth after a bad beat.
The ULTIMATEBET.NET BEST DAMN POKER SHOW is part reality show, part poker tournament. Duke and Hellmuth each scout selected online qualifiers and then draft the players they think have the best shot at winning the tournament. The poker is top-notch, but the strategy and in-fighting between the captains may just be even better. The seven-week continues on Monday, March 3 at 9 p.m., 11 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. local
