Shooting of HSPS7 is on its way and its looking like FT will not be letting any of thier Pros play...so no Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius or Tom Dwan . FT dont want to be a part of the event due to pokerstars, thier major concerns are that they don't like their players playing when PokerStars is the sponsor of the show and they are unhappy that PokerStars bought the HSP archives. I can see it as a small problem for FT but I dont see why they just dont reach in to them deep pockets and pay for some ads. If you follow twitter you can get an idea of who is currently in and roumerd to play... Barry Greenstein recent tweet "Getting ready to film High Stakes Poker at Bellagio. They gave me old chips from the cage due to a recent robbery!" LOL Bellagio short on chips!!! I know what to get them for christmas.
Confirmed so far...
Antonio Esfandiari Jonathan Duhamel Andrew Robl Jason Mercier
And roumerd to be playing.
Phil Galfond David Peat Phil Laak Scotty Nguyen
So what are your views on FT pulling all thier players from HSP, for me it takes out a huge chunk of the highest profiles in poker today, and cant see it being as "fun" as previous episodes. Who would be on your line up if you could orginaise a HSP game?

I dont like FT... That mean that on Poker after dark should play only FT players Thats bad for poker Anyway I dont see Daniel Neagranu is playing! He is PS player! He is my favorite player and he was playing every HSP so far... I would like to see him on this list...
------------ I forgot. My favorite line up would be: Daniel Neagranu Phil Laak Antonio Esfandiari Tony G Mike the mouth Phil Helmuth (just to see him tilting and everybody else laughing at him ) Gus Hansen Tom Dwan Phil Ivey Huck Seed

Daniel Neagranu might end up playing, but he is filming an add or something...either way currently busy and cant make it ATM. Just put a quik list together myself...
First 9 Guy Lambert - so they have no reason to leave the table Phil Hellmuth - Just to see him cry Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott - some one to keep Hellmuth a float Tony G - to rub salt in Hellmuth when he loses a hand Tom Dawn - to cosistantly play bad hands against Hellmuth Lynette Chan - not just for the eye candy, same goes for.. Vanessa Russo - Annie Duke for the fights with.. Daniel Negreanu
Id also like to add some unconventual players just incase it gets a bit boring.

Lol I totally agree with Tony G and Tom Dwan reasons! Also it would be nice to see those fights... Chuck Norris LOOOOOOOOOL He would be strongest and very aggressive thats for sure
------------ Btw. I think Daniel is not playing because he thinks that would be very bad to lose another season...

I just spoke to Sammy and he said "It's bad for my game to be on TV" and thats why he pulled out of season 6, I belive he was also offerd to be staked to play but has refused saying ever since people were able to see how he plays, the game has gotten harder for him. So no Sammy.

Ok. If Farha is not playing, then we won't see Elezra as well. Bigfoot, can you also talk to Guy Laliberte and check if he is joining the game at some point?

Last season the quaality of the show was stabbed, to many off game useless stuff introduced. This season is another nail in the coffin of the best TV poker show ever. So sad.
Make it "online room independent" like the first 5 seasons again, "it's good for the game".
