Best High Stakes Poker Season Ever? Hellmuth, Keating, & Nik Airball to Compete
Table Of Contents
PokerGO is just one day away from launching the first episode of High Stakes Poker Season 14, a season that features some of the most entertaining players in the game, including Phil Hellmuth, Jared Bleznick, and Alan Keating.
The season begins Monday, January 13 at 5 p.m. PT with Episode 1. There will be a new episode weekly at the same time on PokerGO for 14 weeks running until April 28.
Season 13 concluded in October with some huge bluffs and a whole bunch of pocket aces. This year's High Stakes Poker will feature no-limit hold'em cash games ranging from $200/$400 blinds to $500/$1,000, and as always, expect the straddle to be on consistently.
Who Will Compete on High Stakes Poker Season 14?
The new season will kickoff with a table that has a mix of familiar faces and newcomers. Andrew Robl, a high-stakes cash game legend, returns to the High Stakes Poker felt to face Bleznick and car dealership owner Brandon Steven, among others.
The table won't see any significant changes until the fourth episode, a $200/$400 game where Hustler Casino Live owner Ryan Feldman will make his High Stakes Poker debut. He'll be joined by an HCL fan favorite, Keating, who plays loose and always brings the action.
Keating and Feldman will remain in the game until Episode 7 when two of poker's biggest stars — Phil Hellmuth and Scott Seiver — get in on the action. Bleznick, Justin Young, and Justin Gavri, who has become an HSP regular, will also create what should be a juicy high-stakes game of poker.
Hellmuth, who has appeared during most seasons of High Stakes Poker since its inception in 2006 on the Game Show Network, didn't join the game until late in Season 13, and he didn't engage in many big pots. But it's hard to imagine the "Poker Brat" will stay quiet again.
Episode 9 just might have the potential for the juiciest game of the season, if not in High Stakes Poker history. Keating returns to the felt to face the loose cannon Rick Salomon, half of a 2004 Paris Hilton sex tape and one of the most loose-aggressive high rollers in poker history. If those two alone won't suck you in to the game, add Nik Airball and $500/$1,000 blinds to the mix and you've got some must-see poker.
The table will stay intact for the remainder of the season, leaving open the possibility of a record-breaking pot and the potential for numerous insane hands.
Nick Schulman, who replaced Gabe Kaplan during Season 10, will return to the broadcast booth alongside longtime High Stakes Poker commentator AJ Benza.
PokerNews will provide weekly recaps each Monday night of that week's High Stakes Poker episode.
