'High Stakes Poker' marathon features peek at 'Casino Royale'

By Sarah Polson

On Monday the Game Show Network (GSN) will broadcast a special four show marathon of "High Stakes Poker" from 8 p.m. to midnight (EST) featuring behind the scenes footage and interviews with the actors from the new James Bond movie, "Casino Royale."

The marathon will be a special sneak peek at the movie which will be released in theaters everywhere Nov. 17.

"High Stakes Poker" normally is broadcast from 8 to 9 p.m. on Mondays and is the only cash game of poker on TV with a minimum $100,000 buy-in. This is the show's second season being broadcast and the third season is scheduled to premier in January.

The first two seasons of the show featured top pro poker players such as Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, Sammy Farha, Jennifer Harman, Antonio Esfandiari, Mike Matusow, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Laak and Johnny Chan. Not only are the pros bringing their star power to the table, they're also putting up thousands of dollars of their own money to play.
