High Stakes Poker Season Five on GSN
High Stakes Poker is my favorite televised poker show and I was a bit saddened by the news earlier this summer that there was no definitive answer as to whether the show would return. Imagine my delight when I saw that Poker News Daily is reporting that season five of High Stakes Poker will be returning to the Game Show Network (GSN)!
According to the Poker News Daily article, “No official date for the beginning of Season V has been given, nor has there been any indication of whether additional episodes will be filmed or whether Season V will consist of additional unaired portions of Season IV.”
Rumors about the lack of an immediate renewal for the High Stakes Poker series centered on the new leader of GSN’s desire to step away from so many poker shows. I was a bit bummed and predictions were made that televised poker was on the decline. I loved the fact that High Stakes Poker was a cash game as opposed to the traditional tournament format of televised poker. I love the cash game and as such rather enjoyed this week’s Poker After Dark “The Cash Game”.

Thanks for the comment! I hope we see a lot of Farha/Elezra tables - those two make for some excitement all on their own.
The ONLY real poker game on TV is High Stakes POKER. the 100K buy makes the players a tad more interested in the play. Poker After Dark most players seem not to be very interested in the play, they play it like a tournament, the players are not 10% as interesting as when you see, real HIGH STAKES poker, play with tens of thousands of $.
BIg Stakes, big action, BIG FUN and interest.
