Williams Pro Poker

February 20, 2009

The name Montel Williams conjures up the idea of bad afternoon talk shows with chair throwing and questions of paternity. However, in this case Williams is throwing his weight not behind a couple of mismatched lovers, but rather behind poker instead. Not only that, but he is taking his love and support of poker to the television nearest you.

Williams is going to be hosting a “reality television meets poker” show for viewing audiences next November. He is going to be introducing the International Team Poker League to those who want to watch his new poker show.

He says that he loves poker because it “has everything” that you could want in a game. It has the ability to be played by any class, any race, any religion – it is truly a game for the masses. He says that with all of the popularity that currently surrounds poker right now, it is the time to take the International Poker League to “a new level and a wider audience.”

Many have known that he has been a poker buff for a long time but the fact that he is starting a show about it shows you how dedicated he is to getting poker out there. He says that without the internet he would not be able to offer the poker show, and that because of that it is much more popular than it would have been without it.

The poker show will be on both TV and on the internet, and will run like a regular talent show. There were be tournaments at online poker casinos as well as land based ones to get people for the show.
