In an interview, the producer Mori Eskandani explains why the show Poker After Dark has been suspended so long:
"The last episode aired dates back to last September. With Black Friday and the indictment issued against Full Tilt Poker, former sponsor of the show, the clouds will result and say that broadcasters have been shriveled. But everything will soon fall into the order. Poker After Dark returns without sponsor, it is a request of NBC. There will be more logo trademark at the table and players will be without another sponsor but themselves."
