High Stakes Poker - Jamie Gold gets it All in

The latest episode of High Stakes Poker certainly lives up to its name with an all in confrontation between WSOP (World Series of Poker) 2006 winner Jamie Gold and regular Big Game player Patrick Antonius.

The buy in for this series of High Stakes is $500,000 per player so these guys are playing with seriously life changing sums of money, yet Patrick looks as cool as cucumber as he casually calls Jamie's All In creating the largest pot in televised poker history.

This episode also sees the tensions rise as Sammy Farha starts to needle the other players a bit. One thing is for sure, this show is just going from strength to strength. I can't wait to see next week's episode. The sparks are surely going to fly...

$500,000 Buy In on High Stakes Poker

The stakes have risen to a staggering $500,000 buy in on my favourite Poker TV show, High Stakes Poker. This show has always been entertaining and exciting to watch because of the high stakes and the atmosphere at the table. The atmosphere and chat at the table is usually pretty friendly, often amusing and always insightful, some of the moments I enjoy the most are when Phil Hellmuth or MIke Matasou lose it at the table.

In this particular episode the buy in has been increased to $500,000 so we are promised pots in excess of $1 Million dollars getting contested by the familiar faces including Doyle Brunson, Barry Greenstein, Sammy Farha, Jamie Gold, Patrick Antonius, David Benyamine, Antonio Esfandiari and Guy La Lauberte founder of Cirque de Soliel.

Fascinating viewing, watch episode 11 from series 4 of High Stakes poker below. I'll post links to the next episode the minute it comes online as it alledgedly contains an all-in confrontation between Jamie Gold and an insta call from Patrick Antonius.

The 7-2 Game on High Stakes Poker

The best poker show on TV is back.

Series four of High Stakes Poker has just started airing again in the States and can be viewed on PokerTube. The first episode gets off to a bang with Antonio Esfandiari suggesting that a side bet should be placed on the game with each player agreeing to pay $500 each to the first player who wins a hand with 7-2 off suit.

Well it doesn't take long before the fireworks kick off between Phil Hellmuth and Mike Matasou in hand where one player has the all conquering 7-2 offsuit.

Check out the link, this is one of the funniest pieces of Poker TV you'll see.

I'm going to see if I can introduce a 7-2 sidebet into the one of the side games at the pub tomorrow night, as if that game really needs loosened up any more!

I BET YOU

"The following is what happens when you give two degenerate gamblers their own TV Show"

Antionio Esfandiari & Phil Laak have a crazy new TV Show. Check it out and you'll see what happens when a cameraman follows the guys around LA while they challenge each other to a pile of crazy proposition bets.

Great TV..
