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.

Akin Tuna raised to 12,000 from the hijack and Berthold Winz called in the cutoff before Aleksejs Ponakovs three-bet to 45,000 on the button. When the action got back to Tuna, he used some extra time then called, and Winz also called.

The three went to a flop of J♠K♦J♦ where Tuna checked, and Winz shoved for just under 300,000. Ponakovs rechecked his cards before he folded, then Tuna asked for a count. After realizing the total number was 298,000, Tuna folded.

"My heart. I'm just an old man," said Winz in reference to his accelerated heartbeat during that hand.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Guiyang Wang raised to 12,000 from the hijack and Maksim Shornikau defended out of the big blind.

Shornikau check-called a bet of 16,000 from Wang on the 9♥3♥7♣ flop.

Both players checked the 5♣ turn and 4♠ river. Shornikau flipped over 9♠8♣ for a pair of nines, but was second best to the J♦J♠ of Wang.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

[Removed:554] opened to 12,000 under the gun, and received calls from Apoorva Goel and Zhen Chen in the blinds.

On the A♣K♥5♥ flop, action was checked to [Removed:555], who continued with a bet of 11,000. Goel folded but Chen check-jammed for 41,000, with [Removed:555] making the quick call.

Zhen Chen: 5♣3♣ All in
[Removed:554]: A♦9♥

Chen had bottom pair fives with a backdoor draw versus [Removed:555]'s top pair, but he picked up extra outs on the Q♣ turn. The K♣ then rolled off on the river to give Chen the flush and send him the double-up.

The action was picked up with the board showing Q♥7♣J♠10♠. Nichan Khorchidian checked from the big blind before Sebastian Malec bet 30,000 from early position. Hossein Ensan called in the cutoff, but Khorchidian folded.

Malec bet 130,000 on the 3♥ river and Ensan deliberated for a few moments before he elected to fold and forfeit the pot to Malec.

With almost 100,000 chips already in the pot on a board of 7♠6♥A♠Q♥, Lars Kamphues had checked it over to Nichan Khorchidian, who used some extra time to make a decision. After around a minute, Khorchidian shoved, and Kamphues quickly called for his remaining 150,000.

Lars Kamphues: 7♥7♦ All in
Nichan Khorchidian: A♥6♣

Khorchidian was talking to himself in his own language, seemingly frustrated that his two pair wasn't good. There was still a card to come, but the 8♠ was no help to Khorchidian, and Kamphues doubled up.

Ankit Ahuja is no more in the EPT High Roller. The action was missed, but on a board of 9♥J♣10♠A♥7♠, all of Ahuja's chips were in the middle with A♠10♣.

Unfortunately for Ahuja, Masashi Oya had flopped the nuts with K♦Q♥, which meant the Indian player was sent to the rail as the bubble looms closer.
