It's official. After its return in 2023 following a 12-year hiatus, PokerStars has confirmed that The Big Game on Tour is back again this year, with more episodes to be filmed at the NAPT Las Vegas festival.

Ten episodes of the show were filmed last year, with the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Maria Ho, Lex Veldhuis and Sam Grafton all taking part. The show features a lucky Loose Cannon who receives $50,000 and has to survive 150 hands playing $50/$100 with a table of poker pros, ambassadors, and celebrities.

PokerNews spoke with Big Game on Tour judge and commentator James Hartigan ahead of the show's return, and he says he's thrilled the show is back.

Three-handed on a flop of 9♠8♥7♣, Aaron Valldeperez moved all in for 70,000 in the big blind. Pierre Mounic gave it some thought before folding in early position, while Brian Battistone quickly called on the button.

Aaron Valldeperez: 10♣8♣ All in
Brian Battistone: Q♦9♦

Battistone was ahead with his pair of nines, while Valldeperez had a pair and straight draw. The 3♣ turn also gave him a flush draw, but Valldeperez missed on the 4♦ river and Battistone took the pot to send him to the rail.
