High Stakes Poker Season 7 (starts 2/26)

[99 Problems]

Game Show Network, 2/26 8PM.

as I mentioned in the other thread, Dishnetwork (and DirecTV) have the episodes with old dates on them so your Tivo DVR may not pick them up as "new", I set mine to record all episodes.

Info about some of the lesser know names on the list (from press release)---
Season 7 of HIGH STAKES POKER is as much about the newcomers-both professional and amateur-who will be making their HSP debut as it is about the returning veterans. Professional player Vanessa Selbst, who had a tremendous year on the tournament circuit in 2010, is only the third woman ever to appear on the show. A total of six new amateurs will also participate: Robert Croak, the creator of SillyBandz; Bill Klein, a retired businessman and philanthropist; billionaire entrepreneur Phil Ruffin, who owns the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, as well as many other successful ventures; Julian Movsesian, a life insurance executive whose company specializes in serving high-end clients; Bill Perkins, president of a private equity and venture capital firm; and Erik Boneta, a watch dealer and wholesaler who specializes in Rolex watches.

OK, I am sure I am going to kick myself when someone answers this, but of the other two women who have played, I know one is Jen Harman, who is the other?

OK, I remember now, it was like season 1 or 2, and it did not seem she played long. And I do not feel as bad for not remembering as I thought I would.

Quite a shame FTP and Stars have run into a clinch Quite a few of my favorites missing on the player list, not that it can't be good anyway, but still, fanboy me wants me idols!

That being said, The Big Game really added quality with many of the "unknown" names they put in, where lots of them made a good appearance and entertaining poker. Hoping it'll be as entertaining as usual.

that lineup makes me sad, its not HSP anymore.
