High Stakes Poker returns for seven straight nights of eye-watering cash games
There are sensible ways to spend money, and then there is sitting beneath studio lights in Las Vegas while casually pushing the value of a family home into the middle of a poker table.
High Stakes Poker is returning to PokerGO for seven consecutive days of live cash-game action from August 25-31, 2026. The special run will be broadcast from the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, with online poker platform CoinPoker signed on as presenting sponsor.
The confirmed lineup already includes high-stakes regular Andrew Robl, CoinPoker ambassador Alejandro Lococo, and Rick Salomon. More players will be announced before the cards begin flying, presumably once everybody has checked beneath the sofa cushions for a spare $100,000.
“High Stakes Poker has always been about bringing together the biggest personalities and highest stakes in the game,” said Brent Hanks, CEO of PokerGO. “Seven straight days of live High Stakes Poker is something we’ve never done before, and we’re excited to have CoinPoker alongside us as presenting sponsor as we deliver what should be an incredible week of action for poker fans.”
The format is a first for the long-running series. While High Stakes Poker has spent years turning enormous financial decisions into compulsive television, it has never previously attempted seven straight days of live broadcasts.
CoinPoker will feature throughout the livestreams and accompanying promotional material. The partnership connects the online poker platform with one of the game’s most recognisable televised brands, although the real attraction will remain watching extremely wealthy people attempt to stare through one another while pretending that losing six figures is mildly inconvenient.
PokerGO will broadcast High Stakes Poker live every day between August 25 and August 31. Exact start times, further lineup additions, and other broadcast details will be confirmed shortly.
