Poker Stars Introducing New Poker TV Show: The Big Game
April 5, 2010
Poker Stars, makers of the Million Dollar Challenge, are introducing a new poker TV show to the broadcast line up, and as always it’s got a spot open just for you. It’s called The Big Game.
To air on FOX TV, PokerStars’ The Big Game will feature a Loose Cannon each week, a poker amateur chosen from the online poker player pool at Poker Stars, playing against some of the biggest names on Team Poker Stars pro and in all of poker, such as: Chris Moneymaker, Vanessa Rousso, and Barry Greenstein.
Round 1 qualifier tournaments into the PokerStars Big Game are going on now and will continue through June 25. Finish in the highest 200 and you’ll be allowed to send PokerStars a short video explaining why you should be one of the players chosen to be a Loose Cannon in one of the PokerStars The Big Game matches.
The Big Game will be a bit tougher than other televised poker games in PokerStars history, because the matches will be deep-stack events with a $100 ante and 200/400 blinds. Players not winning their seat in The Big Game through a PokerStars qualifier (in other words, the stars themselves) each are paying a $100K minimum buy-in to sit there (up to $500K).
