High Stakes Poker is a cash game poker television program that sees a mix of professional and amateur poker players playing high stakes No-Limit Hold’em with buy-ins ranging from $100,000 to $500,000.[5]

In December 2020, a new season of High Stakes Poker aired on PokerGO and included returning players Tom Dwan, Phil Hellmuth, Brandon Adams, and Phil Ivey, while also introducing new players to High Stakes Poker including Jason Koon, Jean-Robert Bellande, Bryn Kenney, Doug Polk, Michael Schwimer, and Chamath Palihapitiya.[6][7]
