HEADLINE: High Stakes Poker Season 3 Begins
Jan 15
Body:
Season 3 of High Stakes Poker (HSP 3) begins its broadcast on
the Game Show Network (GSN) January 15 at 9 PM ET/8 PM CT from
the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
As in prior years, HSP 3 features players buying in with at least
$100,000 and up to $1 million of cash to play
no
limit Texas hold'em. The 13-week season will also repeat at
2 AM ET on Mondays with an encore showing on Thursday nights at
9 PM ET.
2006 World Series of Poker (WSOP) winner Jamie Gold will be one
of 14 new players debuting during season 3.
"Major films including 'Casino Royale' have featured high
stakes games,"
said Rich Cronin, President and CEO of GSN. "We have put
together an all-star line up of players who brought more money
to the table than ever before."
"And," added Cronin, "with the NFL regular season
and college bowl games over on January 8th, viewers will enjoy
the new season of High Stakes Poker action on Monday nights beginning
January 15th."
Veterans Gabe Kaplan and AJ Benza will again call the action
on High Stakes Poker. In an unprecedented move, Kaplan, a respected
poker player in his own right, will take a seat at the table on
a couple of episodes. One of the players will switch places and
take over the analyst's role while Gabe plays.
Joining Kaplan and Gold is a star studded line up of newcomers
including 2006 WSOP runner-up Paul Wasicka, Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson,
Patrick Antonius, David Benyamine, John D'Agostino, Victor Ramdin,
David Williams, Bill Chen, Dan Harmetz, Dan Shak, Illya Trincher
and Brian Townsend.
