High Stakes Poker results database for seasons 1-7
High Stakes Poker is a cash-game poker show, which makes its results more interesting than normal tournament earnings. There is no payout ladder. A player either wins money from the table or loses it.
This page preserves a hand-by-hand dataset for the original seven seasons of High Stakes Poker. The data came from a long-running Two Plus Two hand-tracking project, then we imported it into Tableau so you can filter the show by player, season, hands played, VPIP, PFR, total tally, and biggest wins or losses.
Click "Map Grand Total Tally" in the Tableau view to compare the biggest High Stakes Poker winners and losers from seasons 1-7.
| What to check | Best Tableau tab or filter | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Overall winners and losers | Map Grand Total Tally | Shows who finished up or down across the tracked seasons. |
| Season-by-season swings | Season filters | Separates one hot run from a longer-term result. |
| Loose or tight players | VPIP and PFR views | Helps explain why some players created bigger pots than others. |
| Sample size | Hands played | Prevents overrating a huge result from a tiny number of televised hands. |
What the original High Stakes Poker data can and cannot tell you
The workbook is strongest when you want to compare the original televised era. It includes names like Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Barry Greenstein, Patrik Antonius, Sam Farha, Guy Laliberte, Bill Perkins, Gus Hansen, Jamie Gold, Antonio Esfandiari, Jennifer Harman, and many more.
It is not a complete modern High Stakes Poker tracker. PokerGO revived the show after the original run, and the PokerGO era has continued with new lineups, bigger streamed games, and more recent seasons. For current episodes, lineups, and subscription access, check the official PokerGO High Stakes Poker collection. For cumulative player results from newer tracked episodes, compare this historical page with the High Roll Poker High Stakes Poker leaderboard.
Current High Stakes Poker context
As of June 2026, High Stakes Poker is still active. PokerGO announced Season 16 for May 25, 2026, with players including Kevin Hart, Alan Keating, Andrew Robl, Doug Polk, Jennifer Tilly, Matt Kalish, and Sam Kiki. The announced stakes for the season range from $200/$400 up to $500/$1,000, according to the Season 16 announcement.
That matters when reading the old results. A player who was a huge winner in seasons 1-7 may not lead the modern PokerGO-era database, and newer players can post massive swings in far fewer streamed sessions. Treat this page as the historical base layer, then use current sources when you want the latest season results.
For another official historical checkpoint, PokerGO Tour published High Stakes Poker statistics heading into Season 9, including the move to PokerGO and the 14-episode Season 9 schedule.
How poker players should read these results
Do not copy a player's style just because they won the most on TV. Televised samples are small, edited, and full of unusual lineups. Use the numbers to ask better questions: who played the most hands, who entered too many pots, who raised preflop often, and who created the biggest pots?
If you play live cash games, the more useful habit is tracking your own sessions. Poker Stack lets you record buy-ins, cash-outs, locations, stakes, formats, and notes so you can see whether your own results match your memory. Start with our poker bankroll management guide, then use the app to track the numbers that actually affect your bankroll.
FAQ
What seasons are included in this High Stakes Poker database?
The Tableau workbook covers the original seven seasons of High Stakes Poker. Those seasons aired before the modern PokerGO revival.
Can I see the biggest High Stakes Poker winners and losers?
Yes. Use the "Map Grand Total Tally" view in the Tableau chart to compare total wins and losses across the tracked seasons.
Does this page include High Stakes Poker Season 16?
No. Season 16 is part of the newer PokerGO era. This page keeps the old seasons 1-7 data clear, then points you to current PokerGO and leaderboard sources for newer results.
Is a televised poker result a good measure of skill?
Only partly. A TV result can show how a player performed in those recorded hands, but it does not replace a large sample of tracked cash-game sessions. Use results, VPIP, PFR, and hands played together before drawing conclusions.
