Travel Channel to Air Professional Poker Tour

The WPT has created a poker circuit comparable to golf's PGA tour. The Travel Channel will be airing the events which will feature the top 200 players in invitation only events. This will make sure they have know players at their final tables which will theoretically make for better TV. According to the article there will be 44 weeks worth of WPT and PPT programming on the Travel Channel next year. Between this, and the WSOP circuit, GSN's high stakes game, and the crapload of other large tournaments around, I don't think poker players are going to get many days off.
