The fifth season of High Stakes Poker will be filmed 19 to 21st of December in the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino and has some very interesting names making their appearance. Both the winner and the runner-up of this year's WSOP Main Event, Peter Eastgate and Ivan Demidov are amongst those who will be there.

We'll also be able to see young pros Tom "durrrr" Dwan, Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies and Dario Minieri making their first appearance to High Stakes Poker. Other newcomers include Hollywood director Nick Cassavetes (director of movies like John Q, Alpha Dog and The Notebook), the creator of The Simpsons: Sam Simon, and Giorgio Medici, a successful businessman and president of the Medici Consulting and Investment LLC.

Of course we'll see familiar faces as well. Players like Doyle Brunson, Patrik Antonius, Daniel Negreanu, Barry Greenstein, David Benyamine and Phil Ivey will be playing as well, amongst others.

The full list of players scheduled include (in alphabetical order): Patrik Antonius, Mike Baxter, David Benyamine, Doyle Brunson, Nick Cassavetes, Ivan Demidov, Tom Dwan, Peter Eastgate, Eli Elezra, Antonio Esfandiari, Barry Greenstein, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Phil Laak, Howard Lederer, Giorgio Medici, Dario Minieri, Daniel Negreanu, Ilari Sahamies, Bob Safai and Sam Simon.

The minimum buy-in for this season will be $200,000 .

No Sammy Farha this season? :/

WHHAATTTT NO SAMMY!?!?

Personally i dont mind if they wouldn't invite Doyle, Phil Laak, i would really dont mind if Howard lederer is out, Bobo safai is a very boring donk.

All other players i love

oh yea bring back sammy god damn it, sammy vs durrrrrrrr !!

i dunno why, but eli elezra makes me really happy when he smiles and his eyes disappear.

ye lederer is borin as hell

Anyone know if we can get his in the UK - I have never found it - just Poker After Dark?

I hope ziigmund will trash talk a lot, especially if he plays vs Hellmuth, but i think he can only run his mouth online sadly =(

Can't wait for Ivey <3.

durrrr and hellmuth should be fun

if it hasn't been cast yet, petition to get sammy in imo.

sweeeet this is gonna be fun
