Dec 02, 2017 Phil Hellmuth goes on epic rant after losing brutal all-in hand to Phil Ivey. Share this article. From Poker After Dark, Hellmuth had a good reason to be irate after losing his entire stack in. Later that year, Ivey was playing a cash game on the fifth season of the NBC show Poker After Dark. He and four other players repeatedly agreed to put $100,000 on the table and 'flip' for it all.
Poker After Dark will air a previously recorded but never-before-seen cash game starting on June 4, a source close to the show told Card Player. The $200,000 minimum buy-in includes Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, Patrik Antonius, David Oppenheim, Eli Elezra and David Peat.
The cash game was previously slated to air during winter 2011, before the show took a hiatus in September. The program currently has reruns on the NBC Sports Network, which was previously Versus.
The last season — number seven — was filmed at Aria in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Poker After Dark has been home to some of the most memorable cash game hands ever filmed. Here’s a look at a classic bluff from the hyper-aggressive Dwan in 2009.

The original winner-take-all six-player $20,000 buy-in is back after two weeks of high-stakes cash games on Poker After Dark, and the biggest names in poker have assembled to duke it out for the $120,000 first-place prize.
Taking to the felt this week are Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Howard Lederer, Phil Hellmuth, and Doyle Brunson. The impressive lineup is appropriately dubbed, “The Magnificent Six.”
This group of players has collectively won 39 World Series of Poker bracelets, pending Ivey’s finish at the 2009 main-event final table in November of course, and has accrued a total of more than $53 million in tournament winnings. Hellmuth, Ivey, and Negreanu are in the top five all-time money winners.
All six players have their fair share of Poker After Dark appearances. Brunson, Ferguson, and Negreanu all have a record of 1-7. Lederer’s record is 2-3, Ivey’s is 2-5, and Hellmuth’s is 3-10.
