High Stakes Poker Changes
The seventh season of High Stakes Poker is going to have a few changes. We've already told you that your favorites, (Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, Patrik Antonius, etc.) would not be making appearances. Well, there's one more familiar face who won't be on the show - Gabe Kaplan. Who will be replacing him, you might ask. Norm MacDonald will be taking over as host from Kaplan. He'll be joined by Kara Scott who will be returning for her behind-the-scenes looks at the show.
Not only that, but if you've got 3D glasses, you can bust those out and put them on because the show will air in 3D on DirecTV's n3D channel.
We're sure you're wondering who's actually going to play on the show this year, so here are a few names to get you by: Daniel Negreanu, Antonio Esfandiari, Johnny Chan, Doyle Brunson, Vanessa Selbst, Jason Mercier, and 2010 World Series of Poker champion, Jonathan Duhamel.

Norm MacDonald?!

Ok, so he was great as Burt Reynolds in Celebrity Jeopardy... but...

[bennymacca]

i can see him being quite funny, but i dont think they can beat kabe - only stapes comes close to gabe at the moment

I like Norm, don't know how'd he go as a host by himself though. No Gabe is disappointing, as is the lack of Tilt players. Can't say I'm keen for this season at all.

yeah stars started sponsoring HSP, so FT didn't allow any of their pros

apparently stars also bought the back catalogue of HSP to show on pokerstars.tv, including the early stuff where ivey/dwan etc aren't wearing FT patches, and tilt are pissed at them.
