High Stakes Poker

The most iconic poker cash game show returns in 2023 with Season 11 of High Stakes Poker kicking off on Monday, August 7.

Season 11 will feature 14 episodes and will launch the season debut with the biggest stakes the show has seen with a $1,000/$2,000 No-Limit Hold’em cash game that includes a $500,000 minimum buy-in. The lineup includes Eric Persson, Charles Yu, Jean-Robert Bellande, Ferdinand Putra, Rob Yong, Andrew Robl, and Rick Salomon for six episodes.

Players returning to the High Stakes Poker set for Season 11 include Brandon Steven, Jennifer Tilly, Lynne Ji, and Doug Polk. New faces making their High Stakes Poker debut include Bob Bright, Matt Berkey, and Nik Airball.

Watch Season 11 episodes of High Stakes Poker every Monday at 8 p.m. ET.

No Gamble, No Future

Season 3 of No Gamble, No Future will see the iconic Cash of the Titans livestream cut into episodes to open the new season. Across the first 10 episodes, the three days of livestreams will track Andrew Robl, Markus Gonsalves, Rob Yong, Matthew Gonzales, Eric Persson, and Patrik Antonius playing escalating stakes that begin at $500/$500 and rise to $1,000/$2,000.

There’s not just $5 million on the table, but there is also a $600,000 side bet – $100,000 from each player – that will be collected by the player that wins the most money throughout the three days.

The final six episodes of the 16-epiode season will see a mix of new and old faces. Returning to No Gamble, No Future include Eric Hicks, Eli Elezra, Shawn Madden, Justin Young, and Kevin Martin. Players making their No Gamble, No Future debut include poker all-stars Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth, along with Lynne Ji, Matt Steinberg, Lawford Edwards, and Arden Cho.

Watch Season 3 episodes of No Gamble, No Future every Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.

High Stakes Duel

In early May, Daniel Negreanu defeated Eric Persson in Round 1 of High Stakes Duel 4 for $100,000. Persson declined the rematch, and as many players put their name in the mix to take on Negreanu, it was announced that Doug Polk would step up as the challenger for Round 2 where $200,000 would be on the line.

Negreanu and Polk have history in High Stakes Feud where the two played a hybrid of heads-up cash games – firstly at the PokerGO Studio, and then the remainder on WSOP.com. Polk won that battle, but now their own version of a Round 2 will be under High Stakes Duel 4 this August.

Both players are set to play in August, however, the date is not set yet but is expected to occur closer to the end of the month.

What Did You Miss in July?

The month of July on PokerGO saw the completion of the 2023 World Series of Poker which included Daniel Weinman winning the WSOP Main Event for $12.1 million in prize money.

Weinman topped the record-smashing field of 10,043 entrants in the 2023 WSOP Main Event and rode a wave of great play, mixed with some good fortune. Weinman won a hand with 14 players remaining that will go down as the luckiest hand he has ever played. For Joshua Payne, the hand will forever be his WSOP Main Event heartbreak moment.

Some of the wildest moments from the 2023 WSOP Main Event also included this hand from Tom Dwan that saw him hit the rail:

Ali Imsirovic versus Phil Nagy

People logging on to Twitter on Wednesday, May 17, or anytime thereafter, may see chatter about longtime high-stakes poker pro Ali Imsirovic allegedly using bots to cheat on Americas Cardroom (ACR) and its sister sites on the Winning Poker Network (WPN). Or they may have seen people applauding WPN CEO Phil Nagy for putting a $100K bounty on the proverbial table for anyone who can prove that Imsirovic is doing said cheating.

Let’s go back.

Origin Story: Ali Allegations

What had happened was…

In April 2022, high-stakes poker players were playing events on the island of Cyprus. There was a Super High Roller Bowl and Triton Super High Roller Series, all a part of the PokerGO Tour (PGT).

Ali Imsirovic had been riding high from big results for several years running. He was the first-ever PGT Player of the Year in 2021 and he was on his way to a repeat, already on top of the PGT POY leaderboard in Cyprus… until things began to quickly fall apart.

Alex Foxen took to Twitter to publicly accuse Imsirovic of cheating at the Super High Roller Bowl – on the livestream, no less. Foxen said that Imsirovic looked at table-neighbor Paul Phua’s hole cards, and the livestream recording appeared to back up that assertion. The next day, Imsirovic played more of the tournament but wearing sunglasses, a rarity at those games and for Imsirovic himself.

Ali is known as a cheater to almost all in the high roller community, however without much ironclad proof, most stay silent. After watching this hand on the SHRB live stream, enough is enough.

— Alex Foxen (@WAFoxen) April 18, 2022

Here is a sim of Ali's response to check raise. There are no small 3bs, only shoves. All of these shoves have a diamond in them. Taking a small 3b option makes a lot of sense knowing the Ad and a 5 are out of the deck. This "sick line" brought to you by pauls hole cards. pic.twitter.com/nxkg8yow60

— Alex Foxen (@WAFoxen) April 18, 2022

The high stakes community is, for the most part, extremely honorable and a group of people I consider myself lucky to associate with. This nonsense should not be tolerated and needs to be called out more often.

— Alex Foxen (@WAFoxen) April 18, 2022

While most poker players were taken by surprise at the accusation, many high-stakes players were not. Players such as Justin Bonomo and Ryan Leng spoke up as well to corroborate Foxen’s overall allegations of Imsirovic’s unethical play. It snowballed from there.

• Allegation: Imsirovic cheated in the 2022 Cyprus Super High Roller Bowl.
• Allegation: Imsirovic was banned from GGPoker for multi-accounting and using RTA (real-time assistance), both methods of gaining an advantage in online poker and widely regarded as a form of cheating.
• Allegation: Imsirovich displayed suspicious behavior in online poker MTTs in the form of chip-dumping to his horses (players he backs), and his horses sometimes played suspiciously as well.

As of this article’s publication, there has not been any proof. Not a single poker player has produced solid proof that Imsirovic undoubtedly cheated in online poker. Even the livestream appearing to show Imsirovic peeking at an opponent’s cards could not serve as clear-cut evidence.

Further, GGPoker would never confirm or deny any investigation into Imsirovic or if he had been banned. This is common for online poker rooms, as they rarely reveal any information related to cheating allegations.

Even so, poker tours began to prohibit Imsirovic from playing their events. He and another player – Jake Schindler – were allegedly turned away from registration in the middle of the 2022 European Poker Tour (EPT) Monte Carlo series in early May 2022.

Breaking: Ali and Jake enjoying the Beach in Monte Carlo instead of playing the 50k. A ban is possible but not confirmed. I will keep you updated

— Dietrich Fast (@2pacnrw16) May 3, 2022

While the WSOP in the summer of 2022 took no steps to prohibit Imsirovic from playing, the PokerGO Tour did institute a ban in September. The PGT suspended Imsirovic and Schindler indefinitely and ruled them ineligible for their Player of the Year race. Even with that, the statement provided no details or evidence.

— PokerGO Tour (@PokerGOTour) September 22, 2022

Despite the lack of evidence, the word of the poker players appeared to corroborate what some tour operators or online poker site operators knew or believed to be true.

It should also be noted that Imsirovic has never made a public statement about any of the accusations.

More to the Story: Coaching and a Bounty

The word around most poker spaces was that Imsirovic had given up on most live poker tournaments for the indefinite future. He did not try to play in the inaugural WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas in December, and he has yet to reappear at any major live poker series. Poker Twitter would have reported it.

However, poker players “in the know” felt certain that Imsirovic has continued to play online. He has reportedly been banned from sites like GGPoker and PokerStars. Notably, he was also banned from the Winning Poker Network, including Americas Cardroom in 2019.

On May 17, Barry Carter happened upon Imsirovic’s Instagram account and snapped a photo of a message asking any guys (only guys, evidently) to email him if they’d be interested in poker coaching.

Oooh Ali Imsirovic is coaching people now. I wonder if he is coaching people on poker or, you know, the other thing pic.twitter.com/dfBQZGAkYH

— Barry Carter (@Barry_Carter) May 17, 2023

Poker pros like Matt Berkey responded to Twitter threads to relay long-standing rumors that Imsirovic and his stable of horses collude and use RTA systems on ACR regularly. Phil Galfond seemed to believe this as well, referring on Twitter to Imsirovic’s “current cheating methods.”

Enter WPN CEO Phil Nagy. He was checking Twitter from the high-stakes tables at the current Triton series in Cyprus and saw Galfond’s tweet. Seemingly without hesitation, Nagy offered up a $100K bounty for proof of the cheating.

I will go on record I am in the Triton 200k blinding off reading this. I will offer a 100k reward for proof of this I take security seriously however there is no-one that is perfect. Help me Help you if you can. (excuse grammar Im under some pressure here) https://t.co/8Kz4AtYL8X

— Phillip Nagy (@WPN_CEO) May 18, 2023

The move garnered praise from around the poker community, even from those who would not ordinarily say anything positive about an offshore-based poker operator. Matt Berkey, Jesse Sylvia, Ryan Riess, Justin Bonomo, and Dan Zack were among those magnifying Nagy’s offer.

That’s the story so far.

High Stakes Duel

Jason Koon wrapped up High Stakes Duel 3 in December 2022 when he defeated Phil Hellmuth in Round 5 for the $1.6 million prize pool. No challenger stepped up to face the GGPoker brand ambassador, and the series ended with Koon the champion and recipient of the High Stakes Duel 3 belt.

High Stakes Duel 4 will return to PokerGO this week with three matches scheduled. On Friday, May 5, the first-ever “Undercard” will take place with Shaun Deeb facing off with Mike Matusow in the $20,000 match. Both have previous history with each other with Deeb delivering an epic slow roll to Matusow on a past Poker Night in America livestream.

The High Stakes Duel 4 Undercard match between Deeb and Matusow is a one-off match and there are no obligations for them to play again.

On Monday, May 8, Daniel Negreanu will return to the High Stakes Duel arena to take on Eric Persson in the $100,000 match. There is currently no bad blood between these two players, but they have experience playing each other on High Stakes Poker. These two have already committed to a Round 2 regardless of the result, and on Tuesday, May 9, the two will face off in the $200,000 match.

Unlike previous alliterations of High Stakes Duel where you had to win three matches before cashing out, in High Stakes Duel 4, if a player wins two matches in a row, they can cash out. Each match kicks off at 8 p.m. ET with the Undercard being free on PokerGO’s YouTube channel, while prior to Round 1 and 2, there will be The Weigh-In hosted by Ali Nejad airing at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Watch High Stakes Duel on May 5, 8, and 9, starting at 8 p.m. ET.

What Did You Miss in March?

It was another busy month of April on PokerGO that saw the conclusion of the U.S. Poker Open and the continuation of the High Stakes Poker and No Gamble, No Future seasons. It also welcomed the first-ever livestream from a High Stakes Poker filming.

Seven U.S. Poker Open champions were crowned in March, while three events remained once the calendar hit April. Isaac Haxton emerged victorious in Event #8 for $432,000 and eclipsed $6 million in earnings for 2023. Dan Smith claimed his first win inside the PokerGO Studio in Event #9 for $399,500, while Martin Zamani won the $50,000 finale for $666,000. Zamani’s win and four cashes secured his title as the U.S. Poker Open champion.

Season 10 of High Stakes Poker continued with a lineup featuring Jennifer Tilly, Stanley Tang, Jean-Robert Bellande, Eric Persson, Stanley Choi, Andrew Robl, and Daniel Negreanu playing $200/$400 No-Limit Hold’em.

Following the drama online that lined up with filming of Season 11, a special edition livestream aired on Thursday, April 27. The game was $200/$400 No-Limit Hold’em and included Doug Polk, Matt Berkey, Nik “Airball” Arcot, Lynne Ji, Rob Yong, Bellande, Tilly, and Persson. There were some massive hands, some very interesting table dynamics, and the following hand to kick off the night’s action:

The continuation of Season 2 of No Gamble, No Future would also introduce a new line-up that included Eric Hicks, James Bord, Evan Sofer, Justin Young, Eric Worre, Eric Wasserson, and Eric Persson. Following three episodes of $200/$400 No-Limit Hold’em, the stakes would lower to $25/$50 No-Limit Hold’em where Steve “Cuz” Buckner, Jared Jaffee, Kevin Martin, Sashimi Poker, Jimmy D’Ambrosio, and Young battle away.

The U.S. Poker Open leaderboard race remains a heated battle with Soverel holding the top spot ahead of Elias, Kempton, and Lin. Will someone make a late run in these last three events, or can Soverel do enough to hold on and capture the Golden Eagle trophy and $50,000 championship bonus?

It was a can’t-miss month of March on PokerGO that opened with the 4th Annual Global Poker Awards which presented 27 trophies to the poker industry.

Season 10 of High Stakes Poker continued with a new lineup led by Antonio Esfandiari and Jennifer Tilly. They were also joined by Bill Perkins, Robert Sanchez, Roger Sippl, and Bobby Baldwin to play $200/$400 No-Limit Hold’em.

The month also saw the start of Season 2 of No Gamble, No Future.

Eric Hicks, Pennzoil Don, David Oppenheim, Mr Dr Batman, Evan Sofer, James Bord, and Eric Persson opened the season with some of the craziest cash game action the show has seen.

For the PokerGO subscribers looking for their tournament fix, then look no further than the 2023 U.S. Poker Open. Seven of the 10 events on the schedule were streamed exclusively on PokerGO in March with the highlight being Phil Hellmuth winning his first PGT title “on home soil” inside the PokerGO Studio.

Eric Persson, Andrew Robl, Rob Yong, Matthew Gonzales, Markus Gonsalves, and Patrik Antonius could all buy-in for up to $1,000,000. The kicker was that each player put $100,000 on the side with the biggest winner over three sessions winning the $600,000.

The final day of play would see blinds begin at $1,000/$2,000 and it would also feature the largest pot ever broadcast on a U.S. poker live stream when Antonius won $1,978,000 against Persson with two pair.

High Stakes Poker

The return of High Stakes Poker came with some sad news of Gabe Kaplan retiring, but in his place sits Nick Schulman. Kaplan was part of the first episode of the season, while Schulman will be assuming co-hosting duties for the remainder of the season.

One thing not missing from Season 10 of High Stakes Poker is incredible poker action with Episode 1 featuring one of the craziest hands that resulted in a chopped pot. However, it doesn’t stop there as Eric Persson, Jennifer Tilly, Bobby Baldwin, Ema Zajmovic, Chino Rheem, Matt Hanks, and Jean-Robert Bellande continue $200/$400 No-Limit Hold’em action for two more episodes.

After the first four episodes of Season 10 have concluded, a new line-up will continue the $200/$400 No-Limit Hold’em action. Antonio Esfandiari returns to High Stakes Poker and will sit alongside Baldwin, Tilly, Roger Sippl, Robert Sanchez, and Bill Perkins.

Watch Season 10 episodes of High Stakes Poker every Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.

Coming Next Month on PokerGO

March on PokerGO will open with the Global Poker Awards on Friday, March 3, while following the PGT PLO Series from March 11-19, the U.S. Poker Open will return with ten final table streams running from March 23 to April 4.

What Did You Miss in January?

The start of 2023 on PokerGO would see the conclusion of No Gamble, No Future with the final two episodes of the inaugural season featuring Eric Persson, Alan Keating, Jean-Robert Bellande, Pedro Velasco Adnet, Eric Hicks, Adi Chugh, and Matt Hanks playing $200/$400 No-Limit Hold’em.

The third installment of the PokerGO Cup kicked off in January with eight winners crowned that included Sean Winter, Aram Zobian, Ed Sebesta, Justin Saliba, Anthony Hu, Alex Foxen, Punnat Punsri, and Isaac Haxton. Cary Katz would be crowned the PokerGO Cup champion after cashing five times and amassing 460 PGT points – surpassing Anthony Hu by just six points!

As No Gamble, No Future concluded, High Stakes Poker began with Season 10 featuring some old favorites mixed in with some new faces. The first two episodes of the season featured Eric Persson, Jennifer Tilly, Bobby Baldwin, Ema Zajmovic, Chino Rheem, Matt Hanks, and Jean-Robert Bellande.

The most memorable hand from the start of the season was a hand where Zajmovic held pocket aces against the ace-ten of Hanks. An ace-high flop felt, and after all the money went in, the turn and river ran out a straight on the board to see Zajmovic’s lock for a double turn into a chopped pot.

Many viewers will remember Episode 1 as the episode where Gabe Kaplan retired. Kaplan served as one of the High Stakes Poker commentators for nine seasons but will switch his microphone off at the age of 77. Kaplan passes the torch to Nick Schulman who will sit alongside A.J. Benza for the remainder of Season 10. “To join the show that started it all and replace the best to ever do it is a tremendous honor,” Schulman said. To honor Kaplan’s retirement, PokerGO aired the opening episode of the season for free on the PokerGO YouTube channel.

What Did You Miss in May?

May on PokerGO saw the conclusion of the current High Stakes Poker season as well as a return to the High Stakes Duel battleground.

The final few episodes of Season 9 of High Stakes Poker aired in May culminating in an exciting end to the season. High Stakes Poker debutants Eric Persson, Garrett Adelstein, Krish Menon, and DoorDash co-founder Stanley Tang had many memorable moments against fellow businessmen and the poker professionals.

Daniel Negreanu and Doyle Brunson returned for the final two episodes and took a seat against the old guard that included Tom Dwan, Patrik Antonius, and Phil Ivey. It would be Dwan capping the season on the highest note as his chip stack surpassed the $1.1 million mark to end another fantastic season of High Stakes Poker.

High Stakes Duel III resumed, but with a new challenger taking a seat across from Phil Hellmuth. Due to scheduling conflicts, Dwan had to back out as he flew off to Triton Madrid. This paved the way for Scott Seiver to ante up the $400,000 and take a seat in Round 4.

Both Hellmuth and Seiver were playing for an unprecedented $800,000 in High Stakes Duel history, and when the dust settled on an intriguing back-and-forth match, it would be Hellmuth securing his ninth High Stakes Duel victory.

High Stakes Poker

The highly anticipated Season 9 of High Stakes Poker concludes in May with the final few episodes set to top off a great season that included the return of poker legends, new players making their debuts, and some massive six-figure pots.

A new line-up took a seat last week with DoorDash Co-Founder Stanley Tang and casino owner Eric Persson making their High Stakes Poker debuts. They were seated alongside poker professionals Patrik Antonius, Bryn Kenney, Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey, and Garrett Adelstein, along with entrepreneur and one of the Season 9 breakout stars, Krish Menon.

There will be two more episodes with this line-up playing $500/$1,000 No-Limit Hold’em, before the fifth and final line-up takes a seat for the final two episodes of the season. Daniel Negreanu and Doyle Brunson will return to take a seat alongside Dwan, Ivey, Antonius, and Tang. Jason Koon will make his season debut, while Jonathan Gibbs will return following his debut in episodes two and three of the season.

High Stakes Duel

High Stakes Duel III is returning this month with Phil Hellmuth back in the winner’s chair following his Round 3 victory over Tom Dwan. Both players will be making High Stakes Duel history with Round 4 and a $800,000 prize pool being reached for the first time.

Hellmuth’s seven-match win streak was ruined by Dwan in Round 2, but The Poker Brat righted the ship that has seen him collect eight High Stakes Duel victories against Daniel Negreanu, Antonio Esfandiari, Fox Sports 1’s Nick Wright, and now Dwan.

This Round 4 match will see an unprecedented $800,000 prize pool at stake, and regardless of the result, the duel’s rules stipulate that a Round 5 will be needed where there will be $1.6 million up for grabs. Following High Stakes Duel rules, both Hellmuth and Dwan will have to win two consecutive matches before they have the option to cash out.

Round 4 of High Stakes Duel III is set to premiere on Thursday, May 12, at 8 p.m. ET. The Hype Show will air on Wednesday, May 11, at 8 p.m. ET, while The Weigh-In is set to air on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET.

The final would see Chino Rheem taking on Darren Elias with Rheem continuing his outstanding year and notching a $400,000 win against his fellow WPT Champions Club member.
