High Stakes Poker Season 6 Lineups

High Stakes Poker season 6 is taping from the 11th to the 13th. We'll update this post as the lineups are known.

Day 1:
  • Phil Hellmuth
  • Tom Dwan
  • Phil Ivey
  • Daniel Negreanu
  • Gus Hansen
  • Antonio Esfandiari
  • Dario Minieri
  • Andreas Hoivold
Phil Laak and Eli Elezra replaced players later.

Tom Dwan will be going on little sleep, because he's been busy losing millions to unknown new online player Isildur1 in the big games on Full Tilt over the last few days. From their chat:
Isildur1: dunno how much longer i can play,
durrrr: 8hrs
durrrr: =)
Isildur1: lol
Isildur1: nah im so tired
durrrr: im gonna be awake for 30hrs straight
Isildur1: arnt u ?
Isildur1: ur like machine lol

durrrr: need to leave in 8hrs for that
durrrr: and then cant play 3days

Isildur1: how many more hours ?
durrrr: 7-8
durrrr: and then cant play for 3day

High Stakes Poker will actually be a step down from the online games they've been playing ($400/800 blinds vs. $500/1000), but they buy in deeper ($200,000 minimum) at High Stakes Poker.

Day 2:
  • Tom "durrrr" Dwan
  • Phil Ivey
  • Daniel Negreanu
  • Patrik Antonius
  • Barry Greenstein
  • Dennis Phillips
  • Lex Veldhuis
  • Andrew "good2cu" Robl
Phil Laak replaced a player later.

Day 3:
  • Phil Ivey
  • Tom "durrrr" Dwan
  • Daniel Negreanu
  • Doyle Brunson
  • Mike Matusow
  • Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier
  • David Benyamine
  • Eli Elezra
Phil Galfond and Phil Laak replaced players later. 

Jason Mercier played an unknown day. There are also other replacement players that haven't been revealed, though we've been promised that some of them have never played on High Stakes Poker before. Dwan, Ivey, and Negreanu played all three days.

  1. We added some information about players subbing in for the above starting lineups. Phil Laak played in sessions 1 and 2. Phil Galfond is believed to have played in session 3. Lex Veldhuis also got to play in session 3 (see his blog too). There will also be other unidentified players that we haven't seen on TV before.

  3. Gus Hansen blogged about High Stakes Poker (spoiler):

    Actually, I said no a long time ago, but the producers and Full Tilt Poker called me until i accepted. I actually don't know if I'm allowed to tell the results, but I'll say, that the results didn't make me more happy pokerwise.

  4. Andrew Robl blogged about getting the call at the last minute to play on High Stakes Poker, and having to get together $400,000 within 4 hours. No spoilers on this one.
