players risking their own cash and huge pots. The first two seasons have
featured pots of over $300,000 and over a half million dollars. Unlike
tournament poker shows, HIGH STAKES POKER is the only "Cash Game" on
television.
The "BEST OF" show will feature the most memorable moments and never
before seen footage from the first two seasons. It will also include
interviews with the players as they talk about their play on the show and
the plays of their opponents. AJ Benza and Gabe Kaplan reprise their
regular roles for this special.
