The rise of the Twitch.TV for poker entertainment continues: starting today, for three days, a special invite-only No-limit hold'em cash game will be filmed at ARIA casino and streamed live on Twitch.TV. The game is a Super High Roller 8-handed with $400/$800/$200 stakes and a buy-in of minimum $250,000 (no maximum set).
The game will run from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. Vegas time and will be broadcast live on Twitch.tv for all the interested player. Look for the Poker Central Twitch channel.
"Twitch.TV is a natural fit for Poker Central," said Poker Central CEO Clint Stinchcomb. "The poker category is exploding on Twitch, it's watched by our core demographic — 18 to 36 males — and it is a compelling and unique way to launch a TV channel that's groundbreaking in the way it will launch and air."
There is still no information on who is going to participate in the cash game and only one name (Antonio Esfandiari) is 100% confirmed. Amongst the rumoured to play are Ben Lamb and Phil Hellmuth.
"I'm excited to play," Esfandiari commented, "High Stakes Poker was, I think, the most popular poker TV shows in the history of poker TV shows, and in a way this feels like HSP. It's a televised cash game with decent sized blinds and an ante, and so I think there should be a lot of action. Given that, I'm pretty excited to play, but I'm also pretty excited for poker, to sort of bring back the big TV cash game."

did Ivey already get stacked by JRB...seems weird he wouldn't have him covered (also ridiculous that JRB has $1.2 mil in front him with Ivey on his direct left )

Just realized that the commentator is that Jaime Staples streamer guy that Pokerstars signed. Going places in the world.

shout out to Doyle Brunson for making history
I don't mean because he got really famous for setting records, I mean for literally creating history
It seems to be not very profitable in the long run to play those kind of hands. - Gus Hansen

wtf @ jennifer tilly playing with 400k stack?
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same

the 3hrs or so i watched. Pretty much every pot was a battle between JRB tilly and esfandiari. Ivey picked his spots to cold 4 and won a bunch of small med pots. Chan was the sickest nit who would mash pot in the 3 or so hands he played.
