The 2008 edition of Poker After Dark will have a few new faces from previous years. Gavin Smith is one player who will make multiple appearances in Season 3. David Oppenheim is another newbie to the show. One of the best younger players will also be on the show this season. David Williams is slated for the week of March 24 and should make his presence felt at these highly-skilled single-player sit and go tournaments.

Hoyt Corkins will also make an appearance on the April 14 episode against Doyle Brunson, Chris Ferguson, Chau Giang, Andy Bloch, and Gabe Kaplan. Hoyt has done well since coming out of tournament poker retirement the last couple of years.

The show will also get a new hostess. Gone is the lovely Shana Hiatt and in her place is model/actress Marianela Pereyra. Marianela also does commentary for the WSOP and hails from Argentina.
