Imagine rolling over in bed one morning and finding a woman who knew everything your wife knew...she just looked 100% better than she had the night before. You might be a little freaked out at first, but I bet you'd get used to it.

Well, we had something similar happen recently when we clicked on PokerStars.tv. It had all the same great content, but it looked different. In fact, it looked pretty darn good.

It still has all the content you've come to expect--tournament coverage, player profiles, and quirky behind-the-scenes stuff--but now it's sleak, easier to navigate, and I dare say, a little sexier than it used to be.

If you're just joining the internet revolution (Viva WWW!), you might be just getting around to seeing PokerStars' internet TV portal for the first time. You should take some time to look around. You'll find it all simply by clicking on PokerStars.tv.

Here are a few fun samples from the archives to whet your appetite"

By now you know that the first first season of the PokerStars Million Dollar challenge ended with one of the contestants beating Daniel Negreanu for $1 million.

If you somehow missed the covers of the New York newspapers and all the poker industry web sites, the winner, Mike Kosowski, was a 9/11 hero who not only triumphed over the injuries he suffered that day, but went on to become a poker champion.

This past Sunday, millions of people saw Kosowski sit down on the Million Dollar Challenge, stage an amazing comeback, and beat Negreanu for the million.

If you happened to be watching football on Sunday or don't live in a place that gets the FOX network, we've got you covered.

The final episode is now live on PokerStars.tv. If you don't have the energy to click on over there, we are on top of that, too.

Below is the final episode. You can keep your browser right here on this page and watch all 42 minutes from the comfort of the PokerStars Blog.

The PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge was such a hit during the first season, it has been renewed for another.

PokerStars players are already qualifying and auditioning for the show.

To see how you can get your shot on poker's hottest new show, head on over to the PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge homepage.

This is a really important week for the PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge. You may or may not have heard, somebody is going to win a million bucks this weekend on FOX. We'll have more on that later this week.

However, today is the day for the Weekly Dose, our time to take a look at the best videos on the internet. Because this is such an exciting week for the Million Dollar Challenge, we were going to feature a whole bunch of videos from the audition files.

Then we happened across a name that sounded familiar.

Nicole Rowe.

If you're not from around these parts, you might not know her name, but you might have heard the story. Rowe is battling breast cancer. A few months back, she simply needed something good to take her mind off the torture of chemo, surgery, and everything else horrible that goes with the disease.

So, she entered a ladies only tournament at the Borgata and beat every other woman in the field.

Yes, every other woman...because some guy thought it would be really cute to enter the event, make the final table, and then fight hard for the win against Rowe heads-up.

Yeah.

Since Rowe has put that behind her, we will too (although the dude would probably do well to not find himself in any dark AC alleys). Now, it's on to better things.

Rowe recently went to a taping of the Million Dollar Challenge. After seeing what can happen there, she made a decision.

"After I got home from LA I decided I wanted to be on the show," she said. "So I entered an online tournament with 10,000 people at PokerStars and I won the thing amazingly enough."

We're not one to pick favorites here at the PokerStars Blog, but without even having met Rowe, her spirit has infected us a bit.

After winning her qualifier a few days back, she submitted this audition video for the show.

Normally this is the point we would show you a bunch of other videos from the week, but today we think we'll leave it with that. That's enough of a Dose for one week.

If you'd like to read more about Nicole, you can check out her blog. [Warning: She has a Million Dollar Challenge spoiler in there].

Welcome to "Things You Don't Know About the UKIPT!"

In all fairness, there is probably a decent chance you didn't know the UK & Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) even existed before this past week. That's when you might have seen the PokerStars Blog's live coverage of the very first event from Galway, Ireland.

The UKIPT is a bold new experiment in poker tours. It looks just like every other tour you've ever heard about. It has live tournament coverage, top players from around the region, and some big money on the line. What's different is players can get in for a fraction of the big tourney buy-ins you might find on another tour.

Just a few days ago, legendary Irishman Padraig Parkinson won the very first event and €125,000.

So, yes, you might have know all that. But, here are some things you might not know.

Honestly, these were things about the UKIPT that even we didn't know until about twenty minutes ago when we watched our first episode of "On Tour" with top presenter Nick Wealthall (if that is, indeed, his real name...).

In the episode below, see Wealthall tinkle on the the piano and pull a Guinness from a very special place; a bunch of Irishman playing cards in their local; an interview with Parkinson in his element; a chat with the PokerStars Blog's own Rick Dacey; a couple of mostly naked men getting massages; and more!

It's hard to be original these days. With so many people out there actively trying to be unique, most folks end up failing or copying their fellow aspirants-to-originality.

And so, it's always nice when we spend our Tuesday mornings wading through the vast resource of internet videos and find something that makes us say, "Well, we haven't seen that before."

And so is this case on today's Weekly Dose where we can present you with...several grown men in diapers.

What you see there is a screen capture from James Wheeler's entry into the PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge. You might remember, PokerStars, Fox Sports, and Daniel Negreanu are running this little show that requires online qualifiers to send in an audition video. Many of the videos are about what you'd expect. There are a few, however, that stand out for their originality.

The one below from James "jameswbreez" Wheeler, an Army base firefighter, is one of the latter.

Here's one of the best audition videos we've found so far this week.

While we're on the topic of televised poker, he's one you might not have seen before. They call it the Bounty Stars of Poker. It's amateurs versus pros and...a mystery guest!

Bounty Stars of Poker is a program out of the UK and looks to have some pretty big-name sports stars in the mix.

We found the episode below on the venerable PokerStars.tv.

And while we're on the topic of PokerStars.tv, the online video portal is back with another episode of the Online Poker Show.

This week brings us the PokerStars Sunday Million and this week's final table. This episode was made for the small screen. It has the stars (and a Team PokerStars Pro) built right in.

Check it out below.

So, the other day, we wrote a piece here about a Russian gentleman who did something fairly significant. He played more than 40,000 hands in less than 24 hours.

We gave the accomplishment its due applause, and then started hearing, "Well, I can do that!" from a lot of people.

One of those people was a guy named JoeIngram1, a man who bet he could play more than 50,000 hands in less than 24 hours. It turns out, we here at the PokerStars Blog provoked him.

"What made me decide to break the record was that I saw the article you wrote last week how innerpsy played 40,000 hands and I was confused because I actually played a 41,150 session in July," he told us.

Well, damn. Look what we started.

At the time, we were going with the best information we had. Now, we had had JoeIngram1 not only saying he'd done it before, but he was going to do it again--and better--just to stick it to us.

Well, not just that.

"Also, I wanted to do a big prop bet so I could potentially make a large amount on the side just for achieving it," he said. "I am known for my ability to play a large amount of volume and I felt doing something like this would further show my ability to do so."

In the end, he played 50,470 hands in 20 hours and two minutes and won a little more than $800.

Oh, he also picked up $33,350 in prop bet action from the bets he made with fellow players on the forums.

"I will definitely do it again sometime soon just to see the max number of hands I can achieve in the time span," he said. "For my next prop bet I am either going to do one where I have to win 10k at NL25 or play 1.1 million hands in a month's time."

If you'd like to see how he looked in the middle of it, here's the new record-holder--topless, no less--at the moment he hit the halfway point.

Now that we have atoned for that, here's a couple other top videos we've seen this week.

In this video, we're barely sure what's happening, but we're pretty certain it's cool. If we're reading it right, it's a PokerStars player getting into about three billion tables at once while grooving to new age music. The upshot of all of it? He makes it to the SilverStar level of the PokerStars VIP Club.

Note: you might enjoy this more if you've recent been on contact with certain tribes in the deeper parts of the Amazon rain forest.

Finally, if you've been dying to know how this week's Sunday Million played out, but can't be bothered to read about it in our wrap-up reports, we have the solution for you. Each week, the good folks at PokerStars.tv produce The Online Poker Show, a wrap-up of the big Sunday Million action from the past weekend.

So, how did the Sunday Million turn out this week? Just have a peek below!

On most days, I want to be Daniel Negreanu. However, when I see the type of people he may have to face in the PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge, I suddenly don't feel nearly as envious.

See, there are a lot of people who get a chance to submit casting videos for the show, and that means it takes a lot of creativity to stand out and get noticed. That means the folks Negreanu will end up playing are pretty darned dedicated to the idea of beating Negreanu at his own game.

As we take a look at the week's best internet video offerings, ChristianJS's auditon tape was the first one that caught our eye.

That's the man right there, a veteran of ten years of poker and the war in Iraq.

What you have below is no handicam home movie. ChristianJS and his team put together a short film you might recognize.

Speaking of that hit show, we've just been handed a behind-the-scenes look from the good folks over at PokerStars.tv.

In the video below, see Negreanu fall in love, Barry Greenstein comment on Kid Poker's abilities, and Vanessa Rousso in a headband.

While we're talking about PokerStars.tv, we might as well get back to that old chestnut known as The Online Poker Show.

Once again, we've got the great highlights show from the PokerStars Sunday Million.

Want to see somebody win $180,000. Then have a look at this.

Finally, we're just days away from the final table of the World Series of Poker and ESPN's Inside Deal is getting ready for it. In the video below, you get to see Chad Brown with a pretty lady (who is not Vanessa Rousso...)

That should keep you busy at work for a while. Tell you're boss we said we're sorry.

With all the live events running over the past few weeks, we haven't had time to get in our Weekly Dose of internet television. So, here's some of the best stuff we've found online in recent days.

First off, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the ongoing PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge. A South Carolina priest has already won $100,000 so far. With qualifiers still going on, the audition videos continue to roll in.

Here's one from the fantastically-named PDONKYDONK. Who is that? Well, this guy, of course. His real name is Patrick and he comes straight out of Orlando, Florida.

Patrick is not one to leave things to chance. Even though he only really needed to qualify once, he has actually already qualified twice. Now, he's hunting down bad guys and killing them with aces.

How so?

Have a look below.

Once you have a chance to digest that, it's time to get ready for the WSOP November 9. A week from Friday, the final table of the World Series of Poker will resume.

Among the final nine players is none other than PokerStars player Kevin Schaffel.

This week, he stopped by the ESPN studios in Bristol to sit down with the team from Inside Edge. See what happens when somebody tries to beat him with both hands tied behind her back.

We also have the newest episode of the Online Poker Show from PokerStars.tv. This week's episode takes a look at the October 25 PokerStars Sunday Million.

Here's how somebody ended up winning nearly a quarter million bucks for one day of work.

That's all for this weekk. Enjoy!

Some days you wake up with high expectations and end up seeing nothing interesting at all. And some days you wake up not expecting anything and get to see a man in tights pounding on his nipples. You just never know how fate's coin flip is going to go.

Today, we're going to give fate a little help.

The man you're about to look at is Dwayne Buth, He's a high school teacher. He's a wrestling coach. He's wearing tights. And he wants to play against Daniel Negreanu in the PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge.

This is his audition video. Be prepared...here there be nipple pounding.

See, there is no way your day is going to get any better from here on out.

Now, onto poker.

This past weekend, the Sunday Million returned after it's brief WCOOP hiatus. Here's a look at the final table highlights.

Finally, tomorrow we embark on our EPT London adventure, starting off with the high roller event. To get in the spirit of the EPT, here's a look at Daniel Negreanu getting all jiggy with it in Barcelona.

And just in case you don't want to stop thinking about a grown man in tights pounding on his nipples, we offer this screen capture for your computer desk top.

Seriously...pass it around the office.
