High Stakes Poker Season 7 *leaked information*

Now that Pokerstars’ The Big Game season 1 is finished the poker community is waiting for more High Stakes action. Luckily High Stakes Poker will return for a seventh season. Three days of poker were recorded, so now it’s a long wait untill the episodes will air.

GSN has the episodes scheduled for February 2011, but we can give a sneak preview based on various sources – mainly the Twitter accounts of the pros that played.

These players confirmed that they played:

Doyle Brunson
Jonathan Duhamel
Antonio Esfandiari
Phil Galfond
Barry Greenstein
Phil Laak
Jason Mercier
Daniel Negreanu
Scotty Nguyen
David ‘Viffer’ Peat
Andrew Roble
Haralobos Voulgaris

The absence of Tom ‘Durrrr’ Dwan, Phil Ivey, Mike Matusow and Patrik Antonius is a big miss for the show as they were always responsible for action and great plays. Because of a fight between Pokerstars and Full Tilt the sponsored pros are not allowed to star in eachother’s TV shows.

The new season of High Stakes Poker was recorded in the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Daniel Negreanu tweeted last week that he probably wouldn’t make the show, but in the end it turned out that he was just in time for day 3 of the show. He is down the most from all players in the history of High Stakes Poker (-$2,182,850), so hopefully for ‘KidPoker’ he did better in season 7.

Phil Hellmuth didn’t want to give away whether he had played in the new season, but it was leaked that some wealthy amateurs spiced up the action. In the past L.A. Lakers owner Jerry Buss and Cirque Du Soleil owner Guy La Liberté made for some good TV, so let’s hope they found some amateurs this season with excessive amounts of money burning in their pockets.

Andrew Robl also leaked some info about how the action was:

“On Wednesday of this week i played on the newest season of High Stakes Poker. High Stakes Poker is one of the only TV shows I watch – and by far my favorite poker tv show. I’m not sure what I’m allowed to say about what happened but on my day there was some MONSTER sick pots. Should make for some real good TV.”
