Some time ago, rumours were heard in the poker world that the popular TV show 'High Stakes Poker' (HSP) would be dropped. The moderator AJ Benza of all people got the discussions going. GSN now discounted such rumours and announced that they exercised the option on a fifth HSP season.

HSP moderator AJ Benza"Far as Gabe and I know….the show isn't coming back." With these words, HSP moderator AJ Benza shocked the poker world. Would High Stakes Poker - the probably most popular TV poker show of the world - get dropped?


GSN now finally took a stand on the rumours and made it clear that they will use their option on a further HSP season. Jennifer Minezaki, Director of Public Relations at GSN said: "GSN has picked up the option on the 5th season of HIGH STAKES POKER and continues to enjoy poker on its air."

The end of the show would have been a real surprise, considering how popular HSP still is. Also and especially here in Europe the show has many fans. Thus one may look forward to another illustrious round.
