Next week's Poker After Dark: "One of 2007's best match-ups"

The November 12th episode of Poker After Dark (Pad) will feature "one of 2007's best match-ups" according to producers.

Lining up for the show are five-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Chris Ferguson, 11-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Helmuth Jr and three-time World Poker Tour open champion Gus Hansen.

Also taking part is five-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey and two-times WSOP bracelet winners Howard Lederer and Jennifer Harman.

Makers of the show said of the star-studded Texas Hold 'Em line-up: "This match has a little of everything, from intense poker marked by long and difficult decisions to more smiles from Phil Ivey than anyone has ever seen."

Hansen has already laid a 4.5:1 bet of $20,000 that Hellmuth will not win, a wager that the Poker Brat accepted.

Helmuth has yet to win a Pad event after five attempts.
