Canadian Version
In February 2006, a Canadian version was created for Casino and Gaming Television (now called GameTV). The Canadian version ran for two hours, instead of the four hour run-time of the UK show. The format was similar with more focus on Sit and Go tournaments and No Limit Cash tables featuring Canadian players. The show aired live Wednesday to Sunday at 11:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. EST. Repeated episodes were aired Monday and Tuesday at 11:00 p.m. and 7 days a week from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
The show was cancelled in December 2006 when CGTV was rebranded to GameTV.
Presenters on the Canadian version have included:
- Tina Teggart (Host)
- John "Johnny T" Tokatlidis (Host/Expert)
- Devin "Downtown Devo Brown" Armstrong (Expert)
- Lou Gazzola (Expert)
- Audrey Audet (Expert)
