Mr. Ayre will host the six-episode reality show that will be taped this week at the luxurious Bodog Compound in Costa Rica. The co-host for the "Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker" show will be the 2003 Miss World Canada and Bodog Music artist, Nazanin. The episodes will air weekly on Saturdays from 11:00 p.m.-1:00 a.m. EST, beginning April 15, 2006. "We are on a mission to find the next poker star and eager to showcase the Play Hard aspects of the Bodog.net lifestyle," says Mr. Ayre, the billionaire gaming tycoon and the face of the lucrative online gambling industry. "Poker and television -- combined with Bodog-style entertainment -- will make for one heck of a show, and our next step into the world of television." The series will detail the journey of 40 individuals -- celebrities, poker professionals and Bodog.net poker players -- who intend to use their card-playing skills to capture the US $500,000 grand prize. Each episode will feature a poker game, with each winner taking US $50,000, and securing a spot at the sixth and final table for a chance to win the half-million-dollar grand prize. The celebrities who will play in the tournament include longtime Bodog.net friend "Boston" Rob Mariano (Survivor), noted celeb players Josh Malina (West Wing) and Willie Garson (Sex in the City), along with music stars Willa Ford and SR-71's Mitch Allen, Ultimate Fighting Champ Chuck "Iceman" Liddell, world-class surfer Jon Rose, and actress/comedian Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm). They will be joined by Hollywood beauties Kelly Hu (Scorpion King), and Michele Merkin (Foody Call) along with Extra correspondent Jon Kelley covering the event as well as playing in the tournament. Bridging the celeb/pro player gap in Costa Rica will be Jennifer Tilley, who recently took home "Favorite Celebrity Player" honors at the Bodog-produced Poker Player of the Year Awards. She will join her boyfriend, Phil Laak, at the tables. Other pros will include the Team Bodog "Rat Pack" of David Williams and Evelyn Ng, plus, Josh Arieh, Jean Gluck, Michael Mizrachi, Lily Mizrachi, Humberto Brenes and Erick Lindgren. Starring alongside the pros and celebrities in the series will be 20 reality-show hopefuls who have won the trip to Mr. Ayre's Costa Rican estate, called the Bodog Compound.

dna4ever 2 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Well least you didnt blurt out what Daniel meant to be a secret on the general section of his own forum. Cause if you had done that, that would have just been crappy. Link to post Share on other sites
AceJackOffS 0 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 If daniel was going to be there wouldn't his name be in the press release next to all the other pros? Plus why would daniel be doing something for bodog when he has his own site and a competition similiar to this? Link to post Share on other sites
DB10-2 0 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 looks to me like the guy with the blog did it, not the OP.anyway, this isn't that big of a surprise. as soon as i read DN's blog, i thought, "he's probably going to be on some kind of poker-spinned reality TV thing since that's all he ever talks about."

CoopDaddy1 0 Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 The chance at $500k was probably too strong to turn down...

bdc30 0 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I doubt this is what he's up to.I agree. No way he shows up to this after just getting Fcp off the ground. Link to post Share on other sites
CoopDaddy1 0 Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 It's not like he's officially endorsing Bodog. He's just trying to pick up a cool $500k. I'm sure he worked out a deal that he could wear his FCP gear and get some TV exposure in exchange for showing up. I agree. No way he shows up to this after just getting Fcp off the ground.

delphi12 0 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 It makes perfect sense to be secretive about this since he doesnt want to advertise a competing site. Like someone else said, the money is too good to pass up - its up to bodog and the promoters to get it out there - DN isn't going to do that for them. I wouldnt be surprised if this is where he's at. It also makes sense as to why hes not going on the party cruise - I thought that was a little odd when he said he was just tired and needed time to recoup. My thoughts were always NO WAY, he's got something else planned. Besides Druff is gonna take that thing down this year anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

delphi12 0 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Well, if it never makes it to TV like my infamous taped final table through outlawsofpoker (www.outlawsofpoker.com) then yes, he could easily have done it and no one would know. Link to post Share on other sites
