PokerStars Big Game Tour Resumes with Loose Cannon Auditions Episode: Return of the Poker Tour featuring Audition Rounds for Wildcard Participants
Ready for Some High-Stakes Poker Drama?
Get ready to watch Season 2 of PokerStars Big Game on Tour, debuting this week! The excitement begins with a special auditions episode, where contenders fight tooth and nail for those coveted Loose Cannon seats.
Mark your calendars, because the auditions episode drops on May 17 on the PokerStars YouTube channel. Keep an eye out for May 24, when they'll spill the beans on the first regular episode's release date. Expect the four main episodes to hit YouTube weekly, with Fox Sports 1 catching up two weeks later.
This season, cameras are rolling at the 2024 NAPT Las Vegas festival, hosted at the swanky Resorts World Las Vegas. Prepare for a star-studded affair, with pros like soccer legend Gerard Pique, Hollywood actress Jennifer Tilly, PokerStars Ambassador Andre Akkari, Shark Cage champion Griffin Benger, and former PokerStars Ambassador Sam Grafton lined up for action.
In a twist, PokerStars announced the new season alongside details for the 2025 NAPT Las Vegas festival, also set at Resorts World.
The Big Game on Tour is an offshoot of the had-to-be-seen-to-be-believed Big Game. This time, the stakes are a bit lower, with players facing off against a $50,000 buy-in instead of the usual $100,000. Blinds start at $100/$200.
The first season saw Lily Newhouse and poker content creator Nikki Limo negotiate the high-stakes poker arena as Loose Cannons. Season 2's Loose Cannons have yet to be unmasked. Tune in on May 17 to find out who takes on the challenge this season!
