Debut Of Pokerstars Big Game In USA
Posted By Games Guy on July 19, 2010
The PokerStars “Big Game” debuted on the FOX television network earlier this week in what was considered a very successful first episode.
Probably one of the main reasons for the success was due to the fact that a great deal of the world’s best live and internet poker contestants attended the Big Game. Those who sat down at the Big Game poker table included Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Tony G, Phil Laak, Daniel Negreanu, and amateur player Ernest Wiggins.
Wiggins, who hails from Washington D.C., was especially interesting since he qualified for the show through a “Loose Cannon” poker tournament at PokerStars. And Wiggins certainly didn’t look like an amateur since he played his poker hands just as good as any of the pros; he even took down a big pot against Phil Hellmuth! The win by Wiggins had the Ultimate Bet pro Hellmuth visibly upset as the other pros joked around about the loss.
Tony G had the biggest afternoon out of any of the players as he made 95,000 US Dollars after playing just 32 holdem poker hands. For Doyle Brunson it was a tough start to his day as he somehow managed to loose his entire stack by the end of Episode 1.
With the Big Game’s first episode being such a huge success, you can be sure that a lot more people will be tuning in to see how these pros do in any future episodes. There will be a whole heap more people who will be hoping to quality for the show through the Loose Cannon poker games. Anybody who manages to qualify for the show will have their buy-in paid along with a guaranteed seat in the nationally televised poker show.
Even if you don’t win the Loose Cannon event and earn a spot on the Big Game, you can still earn lots through the VIP program at PokerStars.
Whatever you choose to do, you can enjoy plenty of games of Online Poker including perhaps a game of Party Poker, or maybe PKR Poker – you decide.
