Streaming service PokerGO is pushing its chips to the middle of the table and reviving former Gsn series “High Stakes Poker.” Hosts Aj Benza and Gabe Kaplan are back for what will be Season 8, as is the show’s original producer Mori Eskandani.
“High Stakes Poker,” which ran for 98 episodes across seven seasons on cable channel Gsn (Game Show Network), last aired an original episode in 2011. PokerGO gets that whole library too, which included a 14-and-a-half-month hiatus between Season 4 and Season 5.
The Season 8 premiere, which drops on Wednesday, Dec. 16, will seat poker star Tom Dwan (pictured above), former Major League Baseball pitcher Michael Schwimer, Jean-Robert Bellande, Bryn Kenney, Rick Salomon and Nick Petrangelo for the high-stakes cash game.
Later in the season, all-timer Phil Ivey — who owns 10 World Series of Poker bracelets — will return to the series to play some cards.
