BIG BUCKS BUY-IN

NBC's "Poker After Dark" cash game is not for sissies

The current weekly edition of NBC's late night poker thriller series "Poker After Dark" is being changed to a cash-game format that separates the men from the boys with a $100 000 buy-in big enough to make the toes curl for the $200/400 NLHE epic.

The composition of the six player table is a star-studded marquee of note: Gabe Kaplan, Eli Elezra, Patrik Antonius, Howard Lederer, Doyle Brunson and Texas businessman and amateur player Dee Tiller.

NBC scheduling has the five week-night episodes airing late Monday through Friday at 2:05 am ET/PT, with special Saturday-night episode screening immediately after the "Saturday Night Live" program at 1:00 am early Sunday morning.
