Lee Nelson to Host Celebrity Joker Poker

United States pro poker player and New Zealand and Australian resident Lee Nelson is to be the co-host of a new poker TV show called Celebrity Joker Poker. The show, to air on Network Ten, will also be hosted by Mike Goldman, who will accompany the 63-year-old cancer survivor on the show. Nelson, who beat out prostate cancer and draws some similarities to the fight with cancer and being a poker player, has been the number one ranked player in Australia and New Zealand for the past six years, since 2000. Risk and reward is what poker is all about, and Lee says that is exactly how a cancer patient looks at everything in life when that life is threatened by the disease. Celebrity Joker Poker will feature sporting, television and radio stars from Australia.
