PKR’s YouTube channel (http://uk.youtube.com/user/PKRTV) will also be available for those outside of the television broadcast area or who just otherwise do not have access to those channels. 

The games shown will be final tables from two of PKR’s biggest tournaments: the $100 buy-in, $10,000 guaranteed and the $60, “$20,000 Guaranteed TV Showdown.” 

Just like real-life televised tournaments, such as the World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour, all hole cards will be shown to the viewers.  There will even be announcers, James ‘Jabbawa’ Bach and Dan ‘Danski’ Grant.  Colin Morris will serve as host.
