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.

Both blinds checked the A?10?K? flop to Van Luijk who bet 3,500. Coleman called and Watson folded. Coleman then check-called a bet of 5,500 on the 8? turn. He checked once more on the 6? river, which prompted Van Luijk to fire a bet of 12,000. Coleman took a moment before releasing his cards.
