Gaming channel GSN has renewed its highly successful cash game poker series HIGH STAKES POKER for a third season, it was announced today.
'We were betting that HIGH STAKES POKER would be a success and we have won big,' said Rich Cronin, president and CEO of GSN. 'This show has proven to be a breakout hit with poker fans. We couldn't be more pleased by the response that we have gotten from viewers and television critics who have called HIGH STAKES POKER a 'must-see' and the 'best poker show' on television.'
The show is the first true cash game of poker on television with a $100,000 minimum buy-in. Unlike other poker shows that are tournaments such as the World Series of Poker where the most players can lose is their initial buy-in of $10,000, the players on GSN's HIGH STAKES POKER have several hundreds of thousands of dollars of their own cash at stake to win and lose.
The second season of HIGH STAKES POKER is currently airing on GSN Monday nights at 21:00 ET and the location and players for the third season of HIGH STAKES POKER will be announced soon. Recording is scheduled to begin in October.
