The PokerStars “Big Game” debuted on the FOX television network earlier this week in what was considered a very successful first episode.

Perhaps the main reason for the successful debut was the fact that many of the world’s best live and internet poker players attended the Big Game. Those who sat down at the Big Game poker table included Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Tony G, Phil Laak, Daniel Negreanu, and amateur player Ernest Wiggins.

Wiggins, who hails from Washington D.C., was especially interesting since he qualified for the show through a “Loose Cannon” poker tournament at PokerStars. Wiggins certainly didn’t look like he was just an amateur since his poker hands were just as impressive as any of the pros, and he even managed to take a big pot against the great Phil Hellmuth! The win by Wiggins had the Ultimate Bet pro Hellmuth visibly upset as the other pros joked around about the loss.

The most successful winner of the afternoon was Tony G who after just playing 32 holdem poker hands managed to make an astounding 95,000 US Dollars. For Doyle Brunson, who is the face of Doyles Room and their amazing 33% rakeback deals, it was a tough start as he lost his entire stack by the end of Episode 1.

With the Big Game’s first episode being such a huge success, you can be sure that a lot more people will be tuning in to see how these pros do in any future episodes. There will also be plenty more people who will be looking to qualify for the show through the Loose Cannon poker games. Anybody who manages to qualify for the show will have their buy-in paid along with a guaranteed seat in the nationally televised poker show.

Even if you don’t win the Loose Cannon event and earn a spot on the Big Game, you can still earn lots through the VIP program at PokerStars.

Whatever you choose to do, you can enjoy plenty of games of Online Poker including perhaps a game of Party Poker, or maybe PKR Poker – you decide.
