The Travel Channel's highest rated program, World Poker Tour delivers exactly what its title promises: A tour of the top poker-playing locales and tournaments, featuring the best players in the business. Season Three deals out twenty episodes, each with commentary by pro poker player Mike Sexton, actor (Vince Van Patten), and Vince's sister-in-law Shana Hiatt. Opening the season is the fifth session of "Hollywood Home Game", featuring such celebrity poker enthusiasts as Daisy Fuentes, William Shatner, Mena Suvari, Skeet Ulrich, Kevin Wiseman and Chuck Woolery. Joining the fun in subsequent "Home Games" this season are the likes of LeVar Burton, Mekhi Phifer, Bob Eubanks, Mark L Walberg, Kathy Griffin and Jeremy Sisto. Elsewhere, the World Poker Tour players again compete at several events visited the previous seasons, including the third edition of the WPT Invitational. Among the new events covered this season are the Mirage Poker Showdown and the Doyle Brunson North American Championship. Of the occasional "special" episodes (originally telecast outside the official World Poker Tour season), the most intriguing is "The Young Guns of Poker", featuring some of the best players under the age of 25: Joe Cassidy, David Williams, Scott Fischman, Pete Lawson and Thomas Keleler. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
