Two Months, Two Million Moves to Wednesdays
After four weeks in its Sunday 9PM time slot, the G4 reality show “Two Months, Two Million” will be changing nights, moving to Wednesdays at 8PM for the remainder of its ten episode season. There will be no new episode on Sunday and the network will instead air a two hour marathon of the first four episodes from 9PM-11PM ET.
The show was facing stiff competition from NFL coverage and popular HBO shows “True Blood” and “Entourage.” In an effort to make sure the show finds its audience, the network relocated it to the Wednesday time slot where competition will theoretically be much less tough. The show will also have the benefit of picking up G4’s popular “Attack of the Show” as its lead-in. The program, hosted by Olivia Munn and Kevin Pereira, airs nightly at 8PM ET Monday through Thursday. The guys of “Two Months, Two Million” are already familiar to “Attack of the Show” since Dani Stern and Jay Rosenkrantz made an appearance on the show last week.
The next new episode of “Two Months, Two Million” is scheduled to air on Wednesday September 16th and Rosenkrantz gave some additional hints about what to expect in the new episode in his blog. The previews for next week’s show included footage of Stern doing some heavy partying with a group of young women and Brian Roberts logging plenty of hours in the house’s War Room where all the guys gather for their online poker sessions. Rosenkrantz, who offered his own makeshift titles for upcoming episodes in his most recent blog entry, referred to the episode as “Double Dates and Home Again.” Considering the latest promos for the new episode included Rosenkrantz expressing doubts about their $2 million goal, the latter half of the title suggests some time away from Vegas might be in the young pro’s future.
The show’s time change is not the only big move for those involved with “Two Months, Two Million” this week. A blog post from Stern officially announced that he would no longer be serving as an instructor for the online poker training site PokerSavvy. Stern’s short blog post wished the company well and thanked the site and its members for their support. PokerSavvy’s current roster of instructors includes Isaac Haxton, Tony “Bond18” Dunst, Mike “SirWatts” Watson and Mike “The Mouth” Matusow. Despite the good company, Stern still decided it was time to move on to bigger and better things.
“The launch of my new TV show has opened up some new promotional opportunities for me that make staying at PokerSavvy impossible right now”, Stern wrote in his blog. “As such, I’ve decided I need to move on to pursue those opportunities.”
He failed to disclose what those exact opportunities were, but the prevailing opinion on the popular internet poker forums is that Stern will defect to rival training site DeucesCracked. Rosenkrantz is one of the founders and owners of DeucesCracked and fellow “Two Months, Two Million” cast members Emil “whitelime” Patel and Brian “flawlessvictory” Roberts are affiliated with the site as well. In an interesting side note, even the show’s personal chef, Chef Robert, is listed as a coach on DeucesCracked’s official website, making Stern the only cast member who is not connected to the company.

Poker terminology:
- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
- FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
- INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
- BOARD - The exposed cards in Hold'em and stud. Also BOARD CARDS.
- SHILL - A card room employee who plays with House money, and does not share in any of his (her) winnings or losses. Shills are used to facilitate starting games, and keeping them going. Compare: PROP.
