Poker in the News

The New England Sports Network and the YES network in New York plan on bringing the Red Sox-Yankee rivalry to the poker table.

PartyPoker.net is sponsoring the Boston vs. New York Poker Challenge, a nine-episode series which will be shot this February and broadcast later this spring. Six players from Boston and six players from New York will be picked to participate.

Casting agents will be holding casting calls next week, and are looking for the "three P's"--- poker playing ability, a passion for sports, and personality.
