Can AJ Benza afford to pass up work of any type?

Yes, and too bad they can't include the cash bricks as well like before. Maybe it's some kind of regulation thing now that it has to be chips only, who knows.

What an utterly pointless and downright mean comment.

Good for you.

Wow, they actually listened to the fans and brought them both back. Gabe alone would’ve been sick, but getting them both is just amazing. Mad props, preview looks great, this is gonna be awesome etc.

Excellent. Appreciate the detailed reply.
The James Bord guy I'd not heard about in a long time but couldn't quite remember his name. I think he used to be affiliated with Matchplay poker room back in the day iirc. I could be wrong.

It's nice to see such a great production being brought back to life albeit in a new setting.

Matchbook, together with Andrew Pantling in the beginning. Bord actually played the €1 million One Drop in Monaco couple years back. Fun character to have at the table for sure.

Matt Kirk and Robl would have been awesome as well. Robl simply for the fact that his thing these days is to have a 1M+ stack in any televised game he plays.

So what is the format for them to air? 1 episode every week, multiple per week? How many hours per episode? Total episodes?

Yeah I'm in full agreement there the cash bricks were such an important feature of the original.

When you see Doyle playing with cash bricks it's almost a call back to the old western saloons.

Makes every pot more visceral when you see the hundred dollar bills.

A quick Facebook search revealed some of his pictures. One of which dated Sept 19th 2011 have him, Sam Tricket, Luke Swartz(whilst playing a session on the laptop), Victor Blom and another person (I'm not 100% sure of their identity so I don't want to speculate) playing a home game. Pretty interesting as they all used to play the Euro sites at some point. Maybe how they know each other? I know Sam used to be put into huge tournaments by matchbook and he had some under the rug deal with them.

Nice to see Gabe and AJ back.

But that set still sucks and no cash bricks... doesn't have the same feel.

Still looking forward to this

They know each other because they're based in London (or at least were) for years.
