Message: [QUOTE="Grossberger, post: 1331443, member: 55797"] Cable network [B]GSN[/B] officially launched the sixth season of [B]High Stakes Poker[/B] in a press release today, answering more than a few questions that have had fans hanging on with anticipation since word was first leaked that HSP would be returning. [IMG]http://bluffmagazine.com/images/players/Kara_Scott.jpg[/IMG] Kara Scott will be the new co-host of High Stakes Poker The first order of speculation laid to rest was that of the identity of Gabe Kaplan’s new co-host. [URL="http://www.bluffmagazine.com/players/kara-scott/48804/player-profile.asp"][B][COLOR=#4a767f]Kara Scott[/COLOR][/B][/URL], who has plenty of previous experience doing televised poker from both on the felt and off, will be the new face on the show. After making her mark on televised poker in Europe, this will be the first poker show that Scott has been a part of in the United States. According to GSN, “Scott will report from the High Stakes Poker suite, interviewing poker players about poker strategy, big hands and the table dynamics.” The other bit of information that fans have been waiting for, this season’s lineup of players, was also confirmed in the press release.

While a few things might be changing this season, one thing is not: the game is still a $200,000 minimum buy-in, making it the biggest action on television. 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, on GSN. [/QUOTE]
