31-May-2008 16:20 GMT: Poker comes of age on British TV

There's been poker shown on TV over here for a few years now so why am I saying that it's coming of age now? Well, previously the coverage fell into two categories.

You could watch contrived, studio-bound poker late night on Channel 4.
You could watch the "real thing" - the big tournaments from real poker rooms - on obscure digital channels

Well, now the European Poker Tour has come to Channel 4 (still late at night but that's what DVRs are for).

At the same time, the World Series has just started at the Rio.
