The NBC show “Poker After Dark” will be airing episodes this week featuring three of poker’s most famous couples.

The week’s theme is called “Love at First Raise,” featuring Jennifer Harman and Marco Traniello, David Benyamine and Erica Schoenberg, and Phil Laak and Jennifer Tilly all playing against each other, according to pokernews.com:

All six of the players have already appeared on previous “Poker After Dark” episodes, and one curious fact is that the women have three WSOP bracelets among them (Harman two and Tilly one), while the men have none, though Laak and Benyamine have other major titles and Traniello has notched 15 WSOP cashes in just the past three years. Harman, of course, brings the most famous poker reputation to the week’s matchup, as a regular participant in the “Big Game” at the Bellagio.

Whole thing here.

The episodes air this Monday through Friday at 2:05 a.m.
