Phil Hellmuth bash cash game. Over the next two weeks, Hellmuths doubters and supporters will have a chance to watch the Poker Brat in action as he plays $200-$400 against five opponents on nbcs Poker After Dark. The minimum buy-in for the show is $100000. The two-week series, entitled The Hellmuth Bash, will also feature Tom Dwan, Kenny Tran, Phil Laak, Antonio Esfandiari, and amateur Bob Safai. This is the first time in Poker After Darks history that a cash game will be featured over two weeks time. The popular daily show also announced that it would have the players redraw their seats midway through the session so that viewers could see the players adjust to different positions. Dwan, more commonly known as durrrr online, is a cash game specialist. He completes at the highest levels online, but has shown his ability to transition to live games. In his first World Series in 2008, he made two final tables. Laak and Esfandiari, often paired up together in TV cash games, are known for their back-and-forth banter and endless prop bets. The two regularly play the high-level cash games. Tran, the winner of the 2008 heads-up bracelet at the WSOP, isnt modest when it comes to his abilities. Dubbed Sick Call, he isnt afraid to let his instincts take over a game. Finally, Safai will round out this group of six. Considered an amateur poker player, he has played his fair share of high stakes. He has previously appeared on High Stakes Poker on Game Show Network.
