Take one part
WPT, mix with twenty-five parts celebrity editions of any game
show and reality show you can think of... and you get
Celebrity Poker Showdown, a six-part elimination tournament to
decide who is the best home-game poker player in Hollywood and
win part of a $250,000 prize pool. And it's all for charity,
of course.

What follows are televised-hand-by-televised-hand
accounts. Obviously, since it's only two-hour shows (one
hour for the first five of the first tournament), most
hands are not televised so you're going to see a lot of
jumping of the dealer button.
What's a "dealer button"?
What's "all-in"? What the heck is this weird poker game
they're playing? See my Poker Primer.
With the
popularity of World Poker Tour on the Travel
Channel and the "World Series of Poker" on ESPN,
Bravo decided to try to boost its mediocre ratings
with its OWN poker tournament. Take one part WPT,
mix with twenty-five parts celebrity editions of
any game show and reality show you can think
of...and you get Celebrity Poker
Showdown, a six-part elimination tournament
to decide who is the best home-game poker player
in Hollywood and win part of a $250,000 prize pool
(or $1 million in the seventh tournament). And
it's all for charity, of course. Look below to get
a somewhat hand-by-hand account of the fun. Clink
