coesillian 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Link : http://www.pokernews.com/news/2007/7/high-...season-four.htm The first half of the season will have a familiar feel, as players will put up $100k of their hard earned money to play no limit holdem for big stakes. The players will seem familiar to you, but one addition is notable. Phil Hellmuth will return to HSP, after a two season hiatus. Joining Phil will be Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, and many other pros including Mike "The Mouth" Matusow, Jennifer Harman, Barry Greenstein, Eli Elezra, Phil "The Unabomber" Laak, Sammy Farha, and Todd Brunson. The real action heats up in the last seven episodes of the season IV. Beginning with the November 7th episode, High Stakes Poker should be called really High Stakes Poker, as the minimum buy in to sit at the table is $500,000 – which means that there will be $5 million in play as the cards fly. The action on those $500k buy in episodes is really fast. GSN was kind enough to invite me down to the set to watch one of the $5 million games be filmed. While I don't want to give too much away, I can tell you I saw one guy get stacked, and then almost stacked again (after he reloaded) within a span of about 20 minutes. Needless to say, the person in question was none too happy about it, and the table were merciless in bringing the needles out. Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever 1 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Last year was 13 episodes so I'd guess 6 weeks before November 7th or so.That would make it mid to late September. Link to post Share on other sites

BDPoolie 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 If they're going to up the stakes, they need to make it interesting.They should be able to bet punches or kicks to the groin.DN: "I bet $140,000 and 2 stomach punches"MM: "I raise a kick in the nuts and two titty twisters" Link to post Share on other sites

thebottomline 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 "Needless to say, the person in question was none too happy about it, and the table were merciless in bringing the needles out"Can anyone say "Phil Helmuth"?JIt appears the person who got felted got felted in the 500k min buy-in, which would rule Hellmuth out.ORLY?? Since when does HSP air games that are 10 handed??Minimum buy in of 500k, not set buy in, so there will probably be players (Doyle, maybe Antonio / DN) that will buy in for a million.
