Poker After Dark - Sounds of the Table

  Poker After Dark provides an interesting alternative to the heavily edited shows like the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour. In Poker After Dark they show every hand over a six hour period, keeping the editing to a minimum in order to show a pure poker game.

The Turn came: ... and Gabe got nervous - he knew he was winning, but feared a miracle 8 on the River.  Im not going to look, said Gabe. Im going to listen to the sounds of the table. He then grinned and bowed his head, not watching as the dealer put out the fifth community card.  The River was: ... giving Gabe trips and the win. WOAH! said the table, and Gabe snapped his head up, fearing the worst. When he saw he won instead, he laughed along with the rest - even Chad Brown.
