PokerStars Big Game on Tour Returns: New Season Starts May 17


The PokerStars Big Game on Tour is making a comeback, and it's happening sooner than expected. The new season will kick off this Sunday, May 17, with episodes airing on PokerStars' official YouTube channel.

Jason Koon, Shaun Deeb, Matt Berkey, Randy '3Coin' Sadler, and Sean O’Malley are among the players featured in the new season. Andy Taylor, an operations manager from Canada, will take on the role of the 'Loose Cannon' for the next 150 hands.

Andy Taylor, who runs a property maintenance company and a non-profit organization in Toronto, will receive a $50,000 stake. Any profit he makes over that initial amount is his to keep. The first episode airs this Sunday, May 17, with additional episodes on May 24 and 31, and June 7 and 14.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
