Reality Television Meets Poker
Reality television meets poker. That is the premise for a new television series from Emmy award winning talk show host Montel Williams. He will be introducing the International Team Poker League to viewers next November.

Williams is a known poker buff, and his calling attention to the industry through the new television series is yet another reminder of how online gambling regulations are needed in the US.
“I love poker. It’s a game that has everything. It crosses boundaries and borders. It is truly international, and the time is right for the International Team Poker League to take poker to a new level and a wider audience,” said Williams.
Williams acknowledges that his series was made possible through the advancement of poker on the Internet. Part of Williams’ new show will take place on the Internet. Tournaments will be held online and at land based casinos for the poker series. The show will run much like a conventional talent show. Once the satellite tournaments are complete, all of the winners will be brought to a Las Vegas casino and placed on different teams. Those teams will then play one battle royal type final table to become the ITPL champions for this year.
