$100,000 Buy-In High Stakes Poker Show Airs Monday Night
Body:
Set your TiVo for tomorrow night because, at 9 pm, “High
Stakes Poker” is making its official foray onto a television
near you. High Stakes Poker is the latest addition to the GSN
casino lineup. GSN is taking poker back to basics, shifting the
emphasis from tournament poker back to cash games, albeit very
pricey cash games. The game will be divided up into 13 weekly
episodes.
Nineteen of the biggest sharks on the poker circuit have put
up big bucks to participate. Players include Doyle Brunson, Todd
Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Jerry Buss, Fred Chamanara, Jennifer Harman,
Johnny Chan, Freddy Deeb, Daniel Alaei, Eli Elezra, Antonio Esfandiari,
Sam Farha, Ted Forrest, Barry Greenstein, Amir Nasseri, Daniel
Negreanu, Mimi Tran, Sean Sheikhan, and Bob Stupak. Each player
has put at least $100,000 into the pot, with the option of adding
another $50,000 or $100,000 if necessary.
With a player base of only the best of the best players, the
competition in High Stakes Poker promises to be intense. The word
on the street is that pot sizes of hundreds of thousands of dollars
will not be uncommon, and that, at one particularly gripping point
in the competition, a whopping million dollars will be bet.
