The Big Game Poker TV Show Coming Soon!

Another poker TV show is about to hit the airwaves. This one will be called "The Big Game" and will feature several of the top professional poker players in the world. Of course we are all very familiar with the cash games Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker. However, the minimum buy-in for the Big Game will be $100k. That's a nice chunk of change and certainly the action will be enough to make it more than interesting to watch.

So far only Dan Negreanu has committed to play but other pros are sure to follow the high stakes action. The show will air on Fox TV so stay tuned!
