High Stakes Poker

Anybody seen the High stakes cash game showing on the GSN (game show network)? Has all the usuall players, Jerry Best owner of the Lakers is in occasionaly and Negreanu bought in for 1 mill. Have only caught a couple episodes but understand it has been on a while. Interested to find out final outcome if anyone knows or has a link to a page.

I've heard about the show but I've never actually tuned in to it...looks pretty cool to watch but for some reason I don't have GSN n e more...dammit.

Ris....who's been the big winner out season 1, if any?

The couple episoides I saw were great. You got the seated players playing at blinds I believe of 3K/6K. Negreanu at one point was down 600K but was making a come back. Doyle won a few nice pots, Helmuth lost a few and I'm rolling on the floor laughing everytime he goes off, its just to funny. The players change as the game goes but I gotta see more and find out more about how it turned out.

High Stakes Poker is a poker television program broadcast by the cable television network GSN in the United States. The poker variant being played is No Limit Texas Hold 'Em. The show concluded its initial run on April 10, 2006. A second season of the show has already been filmed but yet to be shown on television.

Format

High Stakes Poker is unique among televised poker series as it does not take place in a tournament setting. Instead, the series takes place during a series of high stakes ring games. Each player brings to the table any amount between $100,000 and $1,000,000.

Unlike tournament poker, the chips involved represent real money. If a player should lose his initial buy-in, that player may rebuy a minimum of $50,000. In addition, players may bring in and use cash instead of casino chips in some situations. There is no ending, per se. Time just runs out on that particular episode. Also, unlike other televised poker, blinds and antes are constant, which is standard with cash games.

The host is A.J. Benza and the analyst is poker pro and actor Gabe Kaplan. The players involved in the series are generally well-known high stakes players or poker pros, with some exceptions.

The show was created by Henry Orenstein, who also serves as the show's executive producer.

Daniel Negreanu confirmed on a post on his website's forums that all players were paid $1,250 per hour for taking part. 1
