The Las Vegas poker scene is in for an elevated experience as Poker Night in America raises the stakes. After nine seasons in some of America’s most esteemed card rooms, the show has now taken up residence in a 10,000-square foot private mansion in Las Vegas, where it will launch its new content under the ‘Studio 52’ banner.
Poker Night in America has engaged a wide-ranging line-up of poker personalities to broadcast from Studio 52, from Lon McEachern—the voice of the World Series of Poker on ESPN for over 20 years—to YouTube sensation Joey Ingram. Aceholes” duo Nikki Limo and Caitlin Comeskey will bring their brand of humor to the project, and cross paths with Jason Somerville of “Run It Up” fame, world-renowned poker player Phil Galfond, and coach Lexy Gavin-Mathers, who starred in season 9.
A roster of world-class chefs, mixologists, and entertainers are also slated to be on hand to provide an elevated experience for those viewing and playing at Studio 52. DJ Chef, a champion of Food Network’s “Cutthroat Kitchen,” is first up in the kitchen on May 15. Studio 52 is outfitted with a full Poker Night in America production set, luxury commentary suite, backyard wine cave, and outdoor game pavilion, among other high-end amenities.
“You never know who’s going to show up at Studio 52 but you’re sure to see some recognizable faces in a whole new light,”said show founder Todd Anderson, who lives in the mansion and will be the host of the invitation-only parties at the property. Adding, “We are rolling out the red carpet at our Vegas mansion for these stars to give players and fans at home the feeling that they too are attending the exclusive parties.”
Beginning May 15th, Poker Night in America will be streaming live from the new studio on both YouTube and Twitch. Fans can expect the full season to be aired on the 24/7 Poker Night in America channel on YouTube, and exclusive content can also be followed on social media for those on the BetRivers Network.
