CNN.com - The hottest game on television - Dec. 2, 2003 (953 words)
After less than a year, the "World Poker Tour" is already the Travel Channel's most popular series ever, a status NBC Sports took note of last week in announcing it would air a poker game on Super Bowl Sunday.
The most popular televised poker game is Texas Hold 'em, in which each player is dealt two cards and try to come up with their best hand (or best bluff) from five community cards.
A poker tournament may seem far afield from the Travel Channel's mission, but the network knew that any program it did about Las Vegas was popular, and trusted Lipscomb because he had done documentaries for them before.
