It was only four months ago that Live! Poker Room's first ever tournament series (Live! Poker Classic) was finishing, and filming of Poker Night In America wrapped up. Since that day, both players and staff alike have been looking forward to the next series, with the wait finally ending this afternoon. Event 1 of the 2014 Live! Summer Series Of Poker kicks off this highly anticipated series, with cards in the air at 12:15pm.
