GSN announced today that High Stakes Poker will, in fact, be returning for a fifth season. The popular cash-game format live poker show has been a mainstay of poker player’s schedules for several years now, with some classic moments and characters that have become part of the cultural fabric of the game.
Production for the series will start in late December and will once again be filmed at the Golden Nugget. The format of the game is likely to stay pretty close to past seasons, according to Kevin Belinkoff, Vice President of Programming for GSN: “It’s still High Stakes Poker, it will still be no-limit hold’em. We always look to change the game up, look for different things we can do with the game, different players, but at the end of the day, it will still be the same cash game that everyone knows. We kind of let the players do their own thing, so if they come up with other things, then we just let them have their way with it.”
No word yet on the cast for season five. The minimum buyin for the game is reported to be $200,000.
