Many of the world's best poker players will be in London this month of course, for the World Series of Poker Europe, and that has created another opening for the TV men to capitalise, writes Rob Eddy.

Although the WSOP in Las Vegas has finished, barring the final table which will get underway in November, the lure of the bracelet will attract a whole host of the world's top pros to the Casino at the Empire in Leicester Square, as they chase the four on offer on this side of the Atlantic.

And while they are here, why not get them to appear on the popular TV poker programme, 'Poker Den', for your viewing pleasure - which is exactly what they have done.

Another big line-up for the third instalment of the show has been promised, with a galaxy of stars already confirmed for the event.

Tony G, David "Devilfish" Ulliott, Jamie Gold, Robert Williamson III, Roland de Wolfe, Neil Channing, Phil Laak, Antonio Esfandiari, John Tabatabai, Mike "The Mouth" Matusow are just some of the names slated to appear, while Jennifer Tilly will also add a touch of glamour to proceedings.

Phil Hellmuth, the Poker Brat himself and a star of the last show, has yet to commit though, while changes have been made to the format, not least, making it a 36-hour marathon, rather than 24.

Players can choose whether they buy-in for $10,000 or $20,000, with blinds starting at $25-$50 and straddling - whereby players pay an optional extra blind (normally double the big blind) to have the last opportunity to act before the flop - will be encouraged.

Anyone can leave the table at anytime so the line-up should continue to change throughout play and if previous shows are anything to go by, there should be plenty of banter and browbeating going on.

Play could of course be affected by the goings-on at the WSOPE, which could mean further entertainment for the viewers, so it certainly should be a programme to watch out for when it airs next year.
