Poker has become a sport wherein players are identified by their personalities, trademarks, and success, often resulting in sticky aliases. This week, NBC is premiering brand-new Poker After Dark (PAD) episodes, and it’s featuring players with nicknames. It all starts tonight at 2:05 a.m.

The six players putting up the $20,000 to play for the $120,000 winner-take-all first-place prize, Annette “The Huntress” Obrestad, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, Antonio “The Magician” Esfandiari, Erick “E-Dog” Lindgren, Phil “The Unabomber” Laak, and Phil “The Poker Brat” Hellmuth.
