Filming for the new season concluded in October at Las Vegas’ Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino. This season features regular players from previous seasons as well as several players making their debut on the show.

Annette Obrestad (“The Huntress”) makes her “Poker After Dark” debut on this episode.
Another episode entitled “He Said, She Said” will include players Annie Duke, David Grey, Erica Schoenbuerg and new “Poker After Dark” player Karina Jett.
The “Mixed Martial Arts” show will feature Randy Couture, Bruce Buffer, Patrik Antonius and Dan Henderson, while a “Lonesome Shark” show features bachelors like James Arkenhead, David Williams, Brad Booth and Antonio Esfandiari.
