Just thought you guys would like a sneak preview of HSP5. This years lineup: World champions Phil Hellmuth and Doyle Brunson are both scheduled to come back to the show this year, while 2008 main-event winner Peter Eastgate and runner-up Ivan Demidov will make their debuts.
Other players scheduled to appear are Patrik Antonius, Michael Baxter, David Benyamine, Nick Cassavetes, Tom Dwan, Eli Elezra, Antonio Esfandiari, Barry Greenstein, Phil Ivey, Phil Laak, Howard Lederer, Giorgio Medici, Dario Minieri, Daniel Negreanu, Ilari Sahamies, Bob Safai, and Sam Simon.
The play was filmed at the Golden Nugget casino Dec. 19-21.
Blinds are 300/600/1200 100ante and a min buy-in of 200k. Shud be a serious action game.
Very nice, it's fantastic to see World champion vs World Champion vs another World Champion but also nice to see some not well known poker players taking part. Just an opportunity for us to discover them

Will be interesting to see, how the maniacs (durrr, Sahamies) can handle the solid players at HSP. There are complete rocks like Lederer and Esfandiari.

yeah i must agree, sounds good, and it will be an interesting match up... i don't know i will follow the challenge, because i have my own poker to do but good luck to them
Once again, Daniel went broke against quads but this time it was against Benyamine instead of Hansen, poor him hope he'll get more luck with him in Episode 4.
