Poker Analyst Gabe Kaplan Takes a Seat at
the Table as 'Kid Poker' Daniel Negreanu Switches Places With
Him in the Second Episode
GSN's HIGH STAKES POKER (HSP 3) kicks off its third season on
Monday, January 15 at 9 PM ET as the 2006 World Series of Poker
champion Jamie Gold and others face the best cash game players.
This season once again features the top poker pros and amateurs
playing with their own cash. There's millions of dollars up for
grabs on HSP 3 that was taped at the South Point Hotel and Casino
in Las Vegas.
For the first time, Gabe Kaplan, the popular analyst on HIGH
STAKES POKER makes
his debut as a player in the series. During the second episode
(on January 22) Kaplan makes a surprising entrance on the set.
He asks the players if any of them want to give up their seat
at the table and "Kid Poker" Daniel Negreanu, one of
the most entertaining poker
players, accepts. Negreanu makes his broadcasting debut as the
analyst taking over Kaplan's role. Negreanu calls the action with
host AJ Benza as long as Kaplan plays at the table through episode
3 on January 29.
In addition to Gold, who won $12 million at the 2006 WSOP main
event, the line-up on the first episode includes the legendary
Doyle Brunson, Negreanu, Daniel Alaei, Shawn Sheikhan, Victor
Ramdin, Bill Chen and Mike "The Mouth" Matusow.
As a lead up to the premiere of HSP 3 on Monday, January 15 at
8 PM ET, GSN recaps the first two seasons of the series with the
