All Africa Poker deals out more sensational poker viewing for fans
A new month brings new programming to All Africa Poker TV on DStv Channel 112 and from the 1st March 2010 poker fans can watch the premiere of the November 2009 All Africa Poker Tournament (AAPT). For local poker talent at its best, catch Ilija Martinovic, Eben Lottering, Peter Nilson and Russell Joselowsky as they battle it out for the AAPT championship and the R1 Million winner’s cheque.
In addition to this top local poker action, All Africa Poker TV is upping the ante this month, by securing the exclusive rights to air the World Series of Poker in Southern Africa, which includes footage from 2007 to 2009. Kicking off the series is a WSOP omnibus featuring the poker action from all the final tables held at the Main Event, which will air on 21 March 2010.
The most memorable WSOP final table for Southern African poker fans was in 2007, when All Africa Poker’s very own Ray Rahme went head to head with some of the world’s greatest poker players and emerged with a very respectable third place. Rahme remains the only Southern African player to have progressed to the final table at the WSOP.
The 2009 WSOP saw Team All Africa Poker member Warren Zackey finished in 22nd place, although Zackey did not make it to the final table, he nonetheless pocketed a tidy US$352 832 for his effort. The title went to Joseph “Joe” Cada, who entered the WSOP record books and currently holds the title for the youngest player to ever win the WSOP title at 21. Cada outlasted 6,493 other poker hopefuls to walk away with the title and banked $8,547,042 for his effort.
To watch this and more from the All Africa Poker Tournament or the World Series of Poker be sure to tune in to All Africa Poker TV nightly from 10.30pm on DStv Channel 112.
