Big stakes in the Million Dollar Cash Game


The recent Emblaze Productions and Full Tilt Poker announcement of a three year deal to produce seasons two-four of the popular European television series Million Dollar Cash Game (see previous InfoPowa report) has been followed by sustained activity as arrangments take shape.

The show pits several of the world's top poker pros against each other in a no-holds-barred high stakes cash game, with a minimum buy-in of $100 000 and no maximum.

Introduced last year, the show's inaugural outing saw Phil Ivey take home the big money the game's top winner... and the ace is apparently due to return for the second installment of the series, set to be filmed over two days, September 18 and 19, at an exclusive venue in London.

"We are delighted that Full Tilt Poker have continued to sponsor this unique high stakes cash game. With hundreds of thousands of dollars being staked over two days of filming, viewers will be in for a thrilling second series when the shows broadcast on Sky Sports early next year," said James Hopkins, Founder and Managing Director of Emblaze Productions.

Top poker names like Allen Cunningham, Tony G, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, John Juanda, Erik Seidel, Patrik Antonius, Marc Goodwin and Howard "the Professor" Lederer have all confirmed participation, promising a feast of high adrenalin action for major stakes. The blind structure will start at $300-$600 with a $100 ante - but the Sky's the limit!
