NBC's hit late-night poker show, Poker After Dark, always has a theme for a week of episodes and, obviously, this week is no different. However, with this week's match-ups it looks like PAD is aiming for a "dump" or "get dumped" theme.

For the next five nights, or mornings depending how you look at it, three of poker's power couples will sit down at the felt and play for the winner-take-all $120,000 prize: Jennifer Harman and Marco Traniello, David Benyamine and Erica Schoenberg and Phil Laak and Jennifer Tilly.

Now, we're not so sure how the dynamics of a poker relationship work, but at our houses if you bust your significant other out of a possible $120,000 payday, look for somewhere else to sleep. This would leave us with two options, dump the crap out of those chips so that you, yourself, don't get dumped. We're sure that they are all consummate poker professionals who will not take any grudges away from the table but whatever, $120k is $120k.

Catch all the action Monday through Friday at 2:05 a.m. EST, followed by a special "Director's Cut" edition on Saturday at 1 a.m. EST, following Saturday Night Live.
