As we reported it [3], the popular poker show Poker After Dark is re-launching with a new season. The former NBC show is moving to the Internet, all the episodes will be streamed live by PokerGO. The first one is streaming today, and the six-handed table features a massive comeback: "durrrr" himself, Tom Dwan is back from Macau and playing live poker in front of cameras again.
The play will begin at 8 pm local time in the Aria Casino in Las Vegas, NV - the show will feature NLHE cash games, Sit&Go's and even some Pot-limit Omaha in later episodes.
The cash game sessions will be played on a $200/$400 blind level with a $400 button ante. The minimum buy-in is $100,000.

The biggest splash was made by the addition of Tom "durrrr" Dwan, who was a regular during the show's NBC-days but was absent from the American poker scene for a long, long time. He was mostly playing high stakes cash games in Macau, but now the king of online poker during the Full Tilt era can once again show off his exceptional poker skills to the American audience.
