Rush Street Interactive-produced cash game television show Poker Night in America has set up shop in a 10,000-square foot private mansion in Las Vegas where the new ‘Studio 52’ will broadcast gaming content beginning May 15th. The switch comes after nine seasons of filming “in some of America’s most prestigious card rooms.”
The show will feature various poker personalities, from Lon McEachern, who was the voice of the World Series of Poker on ESPN for over 20 years, to YouTube sensation Joey Ingram. PNIA’s latest season will also feature “Aceholes” duo Nikki Limo and Caitlin Comeskey, who will bring their brand of humor to the project, and cross paths with Jason Somerville of “Run It Up” fame, renowned poker player Phil Galfond, and coach Lexy Gavin-Mathers, who starred in season 9 of PNIA.
The show’s roster, billed as the “Poker Night in America LIVE at Studio 52,” will also include world-class chefs, mixologists, and entertainers for the audience 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 boasts a full Poker Night in America production set, luxury commentary suite, backyard wine cave, and outdoor game pavilion, among other high-end amenities, announced Rush Street Interactive. Studio 52 is the longtime dream of PNIA founder Todd Anderson who resides in the mansion and will be the host of the invitation-only parties at the property.
“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,” Anderson promised. “We’re breaking the mold for TV poker and doing things we couldn’t do in a casino setting. 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.”
Poker Night in America can be streamed live on Wednesdays at 8 pm PT on YouTube and Twitch. The show’s full season will also be available on the Poker Night in America YouTube channel.
