DISCOVERY IS "ALL-IN, ALL-NIGHT" WITH THREE HOURS OF POKER THEMED PROGRAMMING ON SEPTEMBER 10TH

Poker Champs Phil Laak and Antonio Esfandiari Star in 'Underground Poker'

(NEW YORK, NY) - Shark Week may be over, but several more (card) sharks are making their way onto Discovery. On September 10th, Discovery will up the ante with three brand new specials as a part of poker themed "All-In, All-Night." HUSTLING THE HOUSE premieres at 8pm ET/PT. CASINO SECRETS premieres at 9pm ET/PT. UNDERGROUND POKER premieres at 10pm ET/PT.

Casinos, lotteries and bookies all use math and science to stack the deck against you. Now you can fight back. In HUSTLING THE HOUSE, airing at 8pm ET/PT, get the scoop that the House does not want you to have.

Next up is CASINO SECRETS at 9pm ET/PT. Every single detail in a casino is designed to keep the gambler from leaving. The longer than gambler stays, the more likely that gambler is to lose money. In CASINO SECRETS, insiders reveal the hidden world of high rollers. From the true odds of roulette, to the inner workings of a slot machine, the truth is about to come out.

Finally, UNDERGROUND POKER premieres at 10pm ET/PT. Phil Laak and Antonio Esfandiari are two of the most feared and successful players on the poker circuit today. Phil holds a World Poker title, a World Series of Poker bracelet, and owns the world record for the longest time spent playing poker in a single session, lasting 115 hours at the Vegas Bellagio in 2010. Antonio's won two World Poker Tour championships and three World Series of Poker bracelets, including the "Big One for One Drop" in 2012, where he took home the largest cash prize ever awarded at a single poker event - in excess of eighteen million dollars!

But though it's the tournament circuit that made them famous, their bread-and-butter venues are the ones that average Joes never see - ultra-exclusive and closely guarded underground games where fortunes are won and lost and won again, all in the course of a single night. Just to sit at these tables takes a lot of nerve, and a LOT of cash, but first you have to get in the door, and that means knowing the right people.

Luckily that's not a problem for Phil and Antonio - they know everybody who knows anybody in the poker world. In this special, they head to New Orleans, home to some of the most coveted underground games in the nation, and use their connections to hone in on the action, whether it's at a luxurious loft on Bourbon Street or in the back room of seedy, swamp-side dive. Down in the Big Easy, high stakes and danger preside with every raise and every call, and that's why it's exactly where Phil and Antonio want to be.

HUSTLING THE HOUSE is produced for Discovery Channel by MY Entertainment, where Michael Yudin, Joe Townley, Matt Maranz and Dave Swartz serve as Executive Producers.

CASINO SECRETS is produced for Discovery Channel by Peacock Productions, where Colleen Halpin serves as Executive Producer.

UNDERGROUND POKER is produced for Discovery Channel by Matador, where Jay Peterson, Todd Lubin and Jon Bulette serve as Executive Producers and by Appian Way, where Jennifer Killoran serves as Executive Producer.
