High Stakes Poker Lineup Announced

We got a little present in our inbox this morning. We know who's going to be on "High Stakes Poker" and we might share it with you. OK, OK, we'll let you in on the secret too. Patrik Antonius, David Benyamine, Doyle Brunson, Tom Dwan, Eli Elezra, Antonio Esfandiari, Sammy George, Barry Greenstein, Phil Hellmuth, Andreas Hoivold, Phil Ivey, Mike Matusow, Allan Meltzer, Daniel Negreanu, Dennis Phillips, and Lex Veldhuis will all be on season six of "High Stakes Poker."

The show will premiere on Feb. 14, 2010, on GSN with Gabe Kaplan and Kara Scott calling the action and interviewing players.

Any names jump out at anyone? :)

Bit sad about AJ Benza getting the boot, but not exactly complaining about the replacement!

How Phillips can even dream that he's +ev in this game is beyond me... as for Sammy, I understand the ambition of wanting to play high stakes against the best players in the world, it's even admirable in a way, if completely crazy.

He literally must have money to burn...

Where did Phillips say he was +ev in this line up?

I think there is good chance that Phillips is doing it because it will be fun, he gets to appear on TV and promote stars/himself, also don't they get an hourly rate for appearing. I don't particularly think Phillps is any good, but he seems like a likeable kind of guy.

As much as I love Kara the show won't be the same without AJ

AJ was just some crappy stooge for Gabe to rip on, I wont miss him, but I may miss the pisstake Gabe gives him. That said, Kara Scott is well fit and also a good presenter, I reckon it might work out.

Fair point. I don't dislike Phillips at all- in my mind the producers have put less capable players on the show (to an extent) to try and mix up the dynamic, some might say fodder for the likes of ivey/antonius/durrr.

I can't imagine Phillips going too crazy with his money vs these players though- it'll be interesting to see if he gets involved at all.

Sammy on the other hand i'm sure will be great value, tough to see him leaving the table with any money though!
