On the Set of the PokerStars.net Big Game

August 18 2010, Elaine Chaivarlis

The PokerStars.net Big Game is in Las Vegas filming new episodes for the fall, and we've got a sneak peek at some of the participants. PokerNews' own Tony G swung by for a little high-stakes poker action, as did Antonio Esfandiari, Phil Hellmuth, Issac Haxton, and Jason Mercier. Big Game hostess Amanda Leatherman was also there, interviewing the players and getting the inside scoop. Not all of us can be on the set to take it all in, and most of us are so impatient that we want a little sneak peek now. That's what we're giving you. Check out a day on the set of The Big Game.

What did the book say to do in this position?

Down to work.

Well that's not what I was hoping for.

They aren't making this easy on me.

One big happy family.

This isn't what I signed up for.

This is more like it.

Schwinn, Huffy, or Diamondback?

Look ma! No hands!

I've got it! A Schwinn Cruiser with a bell and a basket!

So you see this one time at band camp...

It's not all fun and games

Bro, I'm not leaving this seat until you can guarantee I can play with socks and sandals on.
