High Stakes Poker TV Show Promises Exciting Second Season
Broadcasted on the cable network channel the Game Show Network, the show High Stakes Poker was a huge success as big name poker pros battled it out episode after episode in no limit Texas Hold’em. The second season of the successful show promises to hold more high stakes excitement in a format different enough from the standard World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker fare to interest even jaded poker TV viewers.
Playing no limit hold’em cash games rather than tournament games, poker pros who viewers are used to seeing only in tournaments get to show their stuff in the intense and charged atmosphere of high stakes cash poker. Viewers can expect to see Daniel Negreanu and Mike Matusow verbally sparring along with plenty of other big name poker pros….
