Pokerography: The Story of Mike Sexton
Pokerography: The Story of Mike Sexton is a deeply honest and heart-felt profile of the man who helped make poker a staple of prime time television. From creating the first Tournament of Champions and pioneering online poker to donating hundreds of thousands of dollars in winnings to his favorite charities - there is a reason Mike Sexton is considered 'the voice' of poker, and it's due to so much more than just his role as commentator for the World Poker Tour.
Episode 5 • Jan 24, 2016
Pokerography: The Story of Jennifer Harman
She was the first woman to ever win two WSOP bracelets - and one of those was in a game she barely knew how to play. That's how good Jennifer Harman is at the game of poker.

Includes original interviews with Harman and close friends Daniel Negreanu and Nick Schulman among others.
Episode 6 • Jan 31, 2016
Pokerography: The Story of Jason Somerville
Pokerography: The Story of Jason Somerville is a compelling look at the poker phenom who has accomplished more in just a few years than most players do in a lifetime.

And, as the first male poker pro to 'come out' publicly, Jason has since made his mark as a modern-day ambassador for the sport.

Pokerography: The Story of Erik Seidel
Eight World Series of Poker bracelets. Over $25 million in tournament winnings. Inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame. Erik Seidel is one of the most acclaimed poker pros in the history of the game and yet he may be the most modest. He rarely speaks about himself and he certainly never brags, but in Pokerography: The Story of Erik Seidel, the legend tells some very personal tales including how he almost won the WSOP Main Event during his first tournament ever and how his proudest accomplishments in life actually have nothing to do with the game. Features exclusive interviews with Seidel as well as his two daughters.
Episode 8 • Apr 03, 2016

Episode 10 • Apr 17, 2016
Pokerography: The Story of Phil Laak
Ever wonder what's going on inside the bizarre mind of Phil "The Unabomber" Laak? Pokerography: The Story of Phil Laak takes a look under the hoodie to gain a slightly better understanding of what motivates this uniquely eccentric character of the poker world. Known for outrageous antics during otherwise serious tournaments, his indelible friendship with Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari, holding the Guinness World Record for longest poker session, and possibly his most impressive achievement to date, successfully courting the ever-alluring beauty, Jennifer Tilly, Phil Laak is arguably a true poker genius. Features exclusive interviews with "The Unabomber" himself as well as his best friend, Antonio Esfandiari and other poker pros.
