The pilot episode of Underground Poker airs on the Discovery Channel this Wednesday and features poker hosts Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Laak.
The classic team of poker pros search for the biggest Underground Poker games around the World with the hopes of playing high stakes poker home games.
The Underground Poker TV show will focus more on the characters they meet along the way, with no scripted or staged content. It won’t be the regular format that normally features many televised poker hands and statistics for poker enthusiasts.

Amongst the registered players there are twelve poker pros which includes: Antonio Esfandiari, Sam Trickett, Phil Ivey, Erik Seidel, Phil Galfond, Jason Mercier, Brian Rast, Noah Schwartz, Bobby Baldwin and Andrew Robl.
Half of the seats are already confirmed as the event is limited to the first 56 players cap limit. This will be the second time the event has featured on the World Series of Poker schedule with the first taking place in 2012.
