GSN High Stakes Poker Lovers Marathon Airs Monday
Season 2 Encore Episodes Move to Friday
High Stakes Poker fans should set their DVRs for 8 PM ET on Monday, November 13 for a special four-show marathon ending at midnight. The GSN exclusive cash game poker series is sponsored by Columbia Pictures and MGM studios promoting the upcoming James Bond movie, Casino Royale. The High Stakes Poker marathon will include behind the scenes footage of the film as well as interviews with the actors.
The theme of the 21st adventure of James Bond (played by Daniel Craig) revolves around the elegant Casino Royale. Her Majesty’s secret service agent, “007,” finds himself “heads-up” against villain Le Chiffre in a high stakes poker game. Le Chiffre is a banker to the terrorists and Bond must defeat him in order to topple the terrorist network.
Casino Royale is set to release in theaters everywhere on November 17.
Note: Season 2 High Stakes Poker fans should be aware that encore episodes have moved from Friday to Thursday nights at 10 PM.
Season 3 of High Stakes Poker, taped at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, is scheduled to air in January 2007 on GSN.
High Stakes Poker is the only cash game of poker on television with a $100,000 minimum buy-in. Unlike other poker shows, the players often have several hundreds of thousands of dollars of their own cash at stake.
