After more than 12 years in hibernation, the PokerStars Big Game show will return to the airwaves in 2024. For those who weren't around the poker world in the pre-Black Friday era (early 2010s), you missed out on some entertaining moments from what was — and will be again — one of poker's most iconic shows ever.
The Big Game is a unique cash game show that pits an amateur, dubbed the "loose cannon," against pros. In 2010-2011, when it originally aired, players such as Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, and Doyle Brunson appeared to take on the loose cannons, who were staked to play in the high-stakes games.
