High Stakes Valentine’s
Introduction
February 14th could just pose a problem for some of you St Valentine’s Day lovers out there this year, the question is quite simple really – who do you love more your partner or your poker? OK, so why might you have to decide between your poker and your partner this year, after all St Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday this year, what could possibly keep you away form your partner?
High Stakes Returns
Well the dilemma you might be facing is that GSN starts the new season of High Stakes Poker on Sunday 14th February. With a line up already set to include big name poker players like Patrik Antonius, Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu – competing in games with eye-watering $200,000 buy-ins, you might just struggle as to where your love truly is. No problem you might think, what time does it start and ill work around that. Well, unfortunately no matter whether you were thinking of whisking her, or indeed him, of out for a romantic lunch or dinner -you’ll have to miss some of the action. Starting at 12pm (ET) there’ll be an eight hour “I love poker” marathon with the main event, “High stakes poker”, beginning at 8pm (ET). Either ways you’ll look pretty well stressed to go out for a meal, get some love-making in and watch all the great poker action.
Problem – what problem?
Presenter and poker player Kara Scott provides the eye-candy.
No worries if you can’t be with a loved one this Valentine’s day as instead you can use presenters Gabe Kaplan and the lovely Kara Scott, a European poker player and TV presenter as eye-candy. Based at the fabulous Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Kara will be providing the feedback from the High Stakes poker table, taking us through all the big plays and table goings-on. There’ll also be regular spots with players talking about their strategies and approach to playing poker in these sort of high pressure games. Another potential problem solver is that the programs are currently scheduled for repeats at 11pm Sundays and 2am Monday mornings – so I guess if you haven’t got work in the morning you’ve an opportunity to catch up with the action, when the smooching action’s over.
