Poker Central bring two new poker shows to home-based audience

With poker audiences remaining at home for the foreseeable future, those behind the release of poker content have two choices – down tools and wait for it all to blow over or seize the opportunity and provide the best collection of poker content the world has ever seen.

Poker Central haven’t just taken up the mantle, they’ve even made it so that fans can view the all-new footage for free for a month.

In two new shows, Poker Central are bringing back some very fond memories, with The Championship Run featuring highlights of iconic poker victories throughout the years. The first episode isn’t just a classic moment in poker history, it’s credited with being responsible for the poker boom – the Moneymaker Effect. Yes, it’s the 2003 WSOP Main Event, which was won, of course, by Chris Moneymaker.

With Jeff Platt fronting The Championship Run, the program delves into the era-defining events when Moneymaker turned the odds on their head and ripped up the rulebook to win a seven-figure score for the price of a family-size takeaway when he satellite in from an online tournament entry.
