Wednesday - December 13, 2006

GSN's top televised tournament features new aces

Game Show Network has informed viewers that its top poker show "High Stakes Poker" will screen on January 15 with some exciting new talent at the table.

High profile regulars such as Doyle Brunson and Barry Greenstein will be making room for newcomers such as 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event winner Jamie Gold and the formidable ace player Phil Ivey.

14 new players have been added to the 14 big names on the roster who played in the first two seasons of the popular show. The players buy in to the cash games with their own money, fronting anywhere from $100 000 to $1 million to play No-Limit Texas Hold'em.

Commentators Gabe Kaplan and AJ Benze will provide game analysis, with Kaplan taking his turn at the table for some games this season.

Game Show Network CEO Rich Cronin says that High Stakes Poker is a hit for GSN. "Poker continues to gain momentum," he said.

The third season comes from the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and will air at 9 p.m. each Monday night.
