Heads-Up Poker a Big Draw

NBC seems to know what it is doing when it comes to poker and TV, as shown with their ongoing Poker After Dark show and the draw the first week of their National Heads-Up Poker Championship generated. Sunday, April 13th was the first show, which drew a 1.5 rating, up from a 1.4 rating from one year ago. This is the fourth season of the show, which will air on consecutive Sundays through May. This ratings share is seen as a huge start for the poker show, which features 64 poker players in heads up matches.
