GSN's High Stakes Poker (HSP) television show is to feature record-breaking sums of money.

Airing on Monday night, the tournament will feature a $500 thousand minimum, with the overall pot worth more than $5 million, according to CardPlayer.com.

The line-up is full of big names in the poker world featuring Sammy Farha, Barry Greenstein, Antonio Esfandiari, Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, Guy Laliberte, Patrik Antonius, Jamie Gold and David Benyamine.

Six of the players have World Series of Poker bracelets with an impressive 19 between them.

Mr Brunson has ten, Mr Negreanu three, Messrs Farha and Greenstein two and Messrs Esfandiari and Gold one.

HSP began broadcasting in 2006 and has so far had over 50 episodes, stretched over four seasons.

The minimum buy-in has typically been $100,000 for the series.

Earlier this year, Jeff Haney wrote in the Las Vegas Sun how HSP could become the most popular poker show on television.
