Well, they've made it official, A.J. Benza will not return as co-host of the best show on basic cable. It was rumoured that Vanessa Rousso was up for the position but she claims it's not her. It really sucks that A.J. will not be there. Personally, I think he was getting quite the hang of it. So, who do you think it will be? Maybe you've heard/read something already... let's hear it. I wouldn't mind seeing someone like Brad Garrett or maybe even Billy Connally... LOL!

You kidding me? He won't be able to keep away from the table! It would be cool to see what he actually is thinking, of course, I think that's obvious... RAISY-DAISY!!! Nice pick, though... hmmm... now that I think about it, I think I'd prefer to see him and Gabe go at it hedz-up. That would be cool. Gabe used to sling chips w/Stu Ungar, ya know. I know, DUH! L8R...
(SANTA MONICA, Calif.) November 5, 2009 – GSN announced today the launch of the highly anticipated sixth season of HIGH STAKES POKER™, featuring a line-up of renowned poker champions, cash game specialists and promising up-and-comers, along with a brand-new look and feel for the show that puts viewers in the thick of the poker action. Acclaimed poker player, TV personality and journalist Kara Scott joins Gabe Kaplan as co-host of HIGH STAKES POKER when the series shoots its sixth season this November at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Scott will report from the High Stakes Poker suite, interviewing poker players about poker strategy, big hands and the table dynamics. Season 6 of HIGH STAKES POKER will premiere on February 14, 2010, airing Sunday nights at 8:00 PM (ET), with encore airings Sundays at 11:00 PM and 2:00 AM (ET), only on GSN.
Featuring a minimum cash buy-in of $200,000, HIGH STAKES POKER is the premier cash game in the history of television. The new season showcases some of the world’s top professional and amateur players; a partial list of the competitors expected to play follows. (Final player line-up is subject to change):
* Patrik Antonius * David Benyamine * Doyle Brunson * Tom Dwan * Eli Elezra * Antonio Esfandiari * Sammy George * Barry Greenstein * Phil Hellmuth * Andreas Hoivold * Phil Ivey * Mike Matusow * Allan Meltzer * Daniel Negreanu * Dennis Phillips * Lex Veldhuis * Yevgeniy Timoshenko
Starting lineups for the 3 days of taping: Day 1: Dwan Ivey Negreanu Esfandiari Minieri Gus Hansen Andreas Hoivoid Phil Hellmuth
Day 2:
Dwan Ivey Negreanu Antonius Dennis Phillips Lex Veldhuis Andrew Robl Barry Greenstein
Day 3:
Dwan Ivey Negreanu Benyamine Elezra D. Brunson Matusow Elky
Depends on the target of the show. If the purpose is to reach as more people as possible, Vanessa Rousso or another beautiful woman player is the best. But because I prefer to learn something new, Hellmuth is ok
