As filming for Season 6 of GSN’s High Stakes Poker moves closer to getting underway, details about the lineup for the popular cash game show are starting to emerge.
Barry Greenstein was the first name to be confirmed when he told PND that he’d do his best to work the internet poker catchphrase of the moment – bling blang blaow – into a HSP episode. Previous Greenstein classics have included “math is idiotic” and “lol donkaments.”
Peter Eastgate will also be returning to HSP for Season 6 for additional abuse. From a blog entry he recently posted: “Finally, it looks like I am going to Las Vegas for High Stakes Poker season 6 around the time of WSOP Main Event Final table.”
Joining Eastgate will be fellow 2008 November Nine member Dennis Phillips – potentially, anyhow. Phillips revealed on his radio show this week that he’s been invited to play in HSP Season 6, but hasn’t confirmed that he’ll be attending. It does seem a little out-of-character for Phillips, but maybe PokerStars is giving him the nudge (and some financial support) to wring a bit more mileage out of Phillips before his WSOP halo fades.
Phillips also revealed another piece of information that will make for a potentially new-look HSP in 2010: the addition of PokerStars as the primary sponsor for the show. There’s no word on what influence, if any, PokerStars will have on the show, but early speculation is zeroing in on one area: the co-host seat.
With AJ Benza now officially out as Gabe Kaplan’s sidekick, and word that GSN will be tapping an as-yet-unnamed female for his replacement, some people had been floating Vanessa Russo as a likely candidate. With Russo, a PokerStars sponsored player, mentioning on her Twitter last week that she’s been discussing some TV projects and now news that Stars is backing the show, Russo is starting to look less like a rumor and more like a lock.
We’ll be posting HSP Season 6 Episodes as they’re released.
