My favorite TV poker show, High Stakes Poker, to begin taping Season Four next month

I was overjoyed to hear the news that my favorite TV poker show, High Stakes Poker (HSP), will tape its fourth season in Las Vegas next month. I’m not alone in liking this show. Everyone I talk to seems to be captivated by watching a real cash game where millions of dollars are on the table and in play.

Rich Cronin, President and CEO of the Game Show Network (GSN) announced yesterday that High Stakes Poker continues to grow and is GSN's top rated program for the key demographic, adults between the ages of 18-34. "We are very pleased with the success of High Stakes Poker and the tremendous buzz it has generated," said Cronin. "It is far and away the most talked about poker show. We plan on making HSP 4 the richest season yet with players bringing up to a million dollars of their own money to play in the biggest cash game on TV."

Season four of HSP will be taped next month at the South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa in Las Vegas and will air in the fall. The final episode of the third season will be aired Monday, April 9 at 9 PM ET, with reruns beginning the following Monday, April 16 at 9 PM.

If you haven’t watched this show, it’s worth watching just to listen in on some of the banter between players. The fact that they are playing for millions in real money — not tournament chips — is pretty compelling too.
