Kara Scott joins High Stakes Poker Season 6
GSN announced a sixth season of High Stakes Poker was coming to the network today and for the first time ever, Gabe Kaplan will be joined by a female co-host.
The co-host is none other than former European Poker Tour presenter Kara Scott, who will also interview players in the high-stakes suite in the Golden Nugget about poker strategy, big hands and table dynamics.
As usual, the line-up for Season 6 will include some of the biggest names in the poker world.
Patrik Antonius, David Benyamine, Doyle Brunson, Tom Dwan, Eli Elezra, Antonio Esfandiari, Barry Greenstein, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Mike Matusow and Daniel Negreanu will all be returning.
New faces for this season include 2008 WSOP Main Event third place finisher Dennis Phillips, aggressive Dutch Team PokerStars Pro Lex Veldhuis, 2007 EPT Dortmund winner Andreas Hoivold and outspoken Englishman Sammy "Any Two" George.
There will be several more players added before the show airs as the final player line-up is subject to change.
The show will once again feature a minimum buy-in of $200,000, which should generate some extremely large pots.
Last year Dwan shocked the poker world by winning an epic $919,600 pot from Greenstein.
Scott brings considerable poker experience to her role as co-host. In addition to her role as presenter for EPT, Scott has also acted as main host for Poker Night Live and one of the personalities on Sky Poker.
Scott has also had success as a poker player going deep in both the 2008 WSOP Main Event and the 2009 Main Event. She also finished second in the 2009 Irish Open for €312,600.
AJ Benza, who acted as co-host for all five of the previous editions of High Stakes Poker will not be returning for the sixth season of HSP.
Season six of High Stakes Poker will premiere Feb. 14, 2010, at 8:00 p.m. ET on GSN and will be shown every Sunday in the same timeslot.

2010-01-05Gabe and Benza were funny together. If Kara Scott would stay in the booth and not waste time with meaningless interviews then that would be great. We already have one Poker After Dark.

2009-12-18While not a poker player myself. I enjoy the program. It would help my understanding and I'm sure others if
the announcers explained "the straddle' as used. from time to time. Yours does not seem to follow the wikipedia explanation.

2009-11-23Glad they finally got rid of Benza (Mr. Ego and Arrogance). They also don't need to waste time away from the table with interviews, the few comments by Gabe are enough.

2009-11-11Except for Harman and the cocktail girls, have there been any other females on the show? I liked it the way it was, but women are a part of poker, too. Maybe Scott will pull in more female viewers.

2009-11-07Great, we've had a perfect show for 5 seasons and they decide for what reason to screw with it? A.J. was perfect with Gabe and know we're going to have interviews to take more time away from the action? Just to give her air time? We have cable if we want to watch babes! We watch this for the poker and the interaction between the players at the table. Leave it the %#$@ ALONE!
