For those who have always wanted to see what hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars in chips look like moving across a poker table, The Game Show Network will soon be making your dreams come true. The cable network’s new show, “High Stakes Poker,” is set to begin filming next week at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, and will feature an astounding $100,000 buy-in.

That’s right. Each player will need to pony up $100,000 to play and will be able to re-buy as often as they want. Some of the biggest name professional players are already lined up: Phil Hellmuth, Jennifer Harman, Doyle Brunson, Barry Greenstein, Daniel Negreanu, and Johnny Chan. Avid poker player and Los Angeles Lakers’ owner, Dr. Jerry Buss, is also on the roster. The game is not just for the pros, though. Anyone who has a large enough bankroll can play.

The players will receive at least partial compensation for being part of the show.

“High Stakes Poker” will start airing on The Gameshow Network on January 16 at 9:00pm.

  • I get this message when I try to play the downloaded file on WMP.

    "You've encountered error message C00D109B while using Windows Media Player. "

    However, I can't seem to find the codec needed to fix that error, can anyone help me out on this one?

    Ya I couldn't play it on Winamp or WMP. It ended up working on InterActual, some player that came with my pc. See if you have that or some other random program. I just tried different ones till it worked.
  • I find that VideoLAN aka VLC mediaplayer works for all files that don't work elsewhere, google it it's a free player
  • I'm going to try that out. Thanks.
  • Was episode 2 and 3 for the High Stakes Poker aired the past 2 weeks? If so, has anyone had any luck finding the torrents for it?

    I downloaded 2 and 3 last night, but haven't had a chance to watch them yet. I just searched google and eventually found it, but there aren't very many seeds, so it took awhile to download. I don't have the sites handy (they're at home), but I think it was "piratebay" or something similiar.
  • Thanks Trev. I just found it on TorrentSpy. Ep3 was pretty fast, took just 1 night sleep, but ep2 is still going.

    Maybe my version of slow is different - it took me about 3 hours to download both 2 and 3.  That said, I've just started using torrents (I've literally only used it for these 3 shows), so I don't know what's considered fast or slow yet.
  • Thats pretty good, 3 hours. It might be because I'm also downloading several other shows at the same time causing a much slower download speed.
  • Episode 4 is available now, I DL it today.
  • This show is great...I've seen 9 episodes so far...Negraneu is getting killed!
  • The 2 funniest things in these episodes:

    1. Tanya Harding commercial in episode 8 that I downloaded, that chick is F A T.

    2. Deeb getting pissed about being accused of taking chips off the table and then challenging people to play him heads-up -- what is this, pokerstars?
  • Deeb and Sheiky deserve their own reality show :D
  • Can't wait for the final show Monday, I think Phil loses it! :rage:
  • If qnyone wants top back me, I will go 60-40 with you getting the 60. :fish:
