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.

: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jules Dickerson shoved all in from middle position, covering the entire table.
"Are you serious?" Jesse Lonis asked in the seat next to him before calling off his stack of 250,000 chips. The rest of the table folded as the pair showed down.
Jesse Lonis: Q♦Q♣ 
Jules Dickerson: A♦2♠
Dickerson spiked an ace on the 3♣8♣A♥ flop to take the lead, besting Lonis' queens on the 7♠6♣ runout.
"So that's why they do that," Lonis laughingly remarked as he handed over his bounty and took his leave.

Jim Collopy moved all in from late position for 67,000 and Thomas Haverstad flat called in the small blind. The big blind folded and players turned their cards, with Collopy at risk.
Jim Collopy: Q♦Q♥
Thomas Haverstad: 4♦3♥
"Three-four my friend!", said Ren Lin.
The board ran out 5♥A♥4♠4♥3♠ and Haverstad made trips on the turn and a full house on the river to crack Collopy's queens, sending him to the rail and claiming his mystery bounty token.
"What the hell! Three-four hits full house. You are genius!", said Lin.
At other tables, Julien Sitbon and Boris Kolev were forced to surrender their boutnies as well.

Samuel Ju: A♣Q♠

Pieter De Necker in the small blind and Albert Martinez in the big blind were on a turn of 2♣8♥10♣J♥. With 70,000 in the pot, De Necker bet 55,000 and Martinez called.
The 9♥ river completed the board and saw De Necker shove all in, covering Martinez's stack of 135,000. The latter did not think long before making the call for his tournament life and showed down 7♣4♣ for a straight.
De Necker could only table 9♣6♣ for a pair of nines, and was left with 50,000 chips, which he would lose soon after.
At another table, Quan Zhou had three-bet jammed all in for 96,000 on the button and was looked up by Jules Dickerson in the cutoff.
Quan Zhou: A♠2♠
Jules Dickerson: 8♥6♣
Zhou was the only one to make a pair on the 7♣J♦10♥2♣Q♥ board, raking in the double-up. Meanwhile, Aleksei Savenkov, Eduard Barsegian, and Elias Gutierrez departed from the tournament from adjacent tables.

Meanwhile, Mathew Frankland was seen departing the tournament area.
