NBC's popular poker TV show 'Poker After Dark' returns to the airwaves this week with a new theme, "Nets vs. Vets." The five episodes wil feature three noted online poker pros - Tom "durrrr" Dwan, Andrew "Good2CU" Robl and Brian "sbrugby" Townsend - and three legendary live poker tournament players - Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan and Huck Seed.

Dwan, Robl and Townsend have recorded millions in winnings playing nosebleed-stake cash games online, frequenting $200/$400 and $300/$600 Omaha and Holdem games in which pots can reach into the hundreds of thousands. Recently, Dwan and Roble both reached final tables at the 2008 WSOP, the first available to them since they both just turned 21, proving that they can hang with the big boys.

Brunson, Chan and Seed are household names in the poker world and in mainstream culture. Between the three of them they have collected five WSOP Main Event titles, 24 WSOP bracelets and over $16 million in career tournament earnings. They have all appeared on 'Poker After Dark' previously with Chan the only three-time PAD winner in history.

As with other weeks of the show, the players will each put up $20,000 of their own money into the winner-take-all $120,000 prize, semmingly chump change to all of these guys. Makes us sick. Anyway, the episodes air on NBC, obviously, at 2:05am ET.
