Will youth and enthusiasm overcome experience and cunning?
 
US poker fans will have a rare treat on NBC's ‘Poker After Dark' this week as young poker aces battle it out against the legendary Doyle ‘Texas Dolly' Brunson – a veteran who has seen off many challengers in a long and illustrious career on the felt that includes 13 appearances on the popular television program.
 
Opponents queuing up for a crack at Doyle include Annette Obrestad, Andrew Lichtenberger, Eric Baldwin, Melanie Weisner, and Tom Dwan, all of whom have ponied up $50 000 to be part of the action and the chance to carry away the $300 000 main prize.
 
The competition will run over five early mornings, starting at 2.05am, with full details available on the Poker After Dark.com website.
