Cable network GSN officially launched the sixth season of High Stakes Poker in a press release today, answering more than a few questions that have had fans hanging on with anticipation since word was first leaked that HSP would be returning.

Kara Scott will be the new co-host of High Stakes Poker

The first order of speculation laid to rest was that of the identity of Gabe Kaplan’s new co-host. Kara Scott, who has plenty of previous experience doing televised poker from both on the felt and off, will be the new face on the show. After making her mark on televised poker in Europe, this will be the first poker show that Scott has been a part of in the United States. According to GSN, “Scott will report from the High Stakes Poker suite, interviewing poker players about poker strategy, big hands and the table dynamics.”
The other bit of information that fans have been waiting for, this season’s lineup of players, was also confirmed in the press release. Familiar HSP pros Patrik Antonius, David Benyamine, Doyle Brunson, Tom “durrrr” Dwan, Eli Elezra, Antonio Esfandiari, Barry Greenstein, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Mike Matusow, and Daniel Negreanu will all be back at the table this season, as well as Season 5 high-stakes amateur and Wind-Up Records president Allan Meltzer.
Added to the mix this time around to keep things interesting will be a number of European players. EPT Dortmund winner Andreas Hoivold, London businessman and high-stakes player Sammy “Any Two” George, online high-stakes cash game pro Lex “RaSZi” Velhuis, and 2009 WPT Championship and 2009 WCOOP Main Event winner Yevgeniy Timoshenko will all take a seat at the table. The only new face from this side of the pond announced so far is 2008 wsop Main Event third-place finisher Dennis Phillips.
While a few things might be changing this season, one thing is not: the game is still a $200,000 minimum buy-in, making it the biggest action on television. Season 6 of High Stakes Poker will premiere on February 14, 2010, airing Sunday nights at 8:00 PM ET, with encore airings Sundays at 11:00 PM and 2:00 AM ET, on GSN.

I like the idea of a female host. Especially one with poker experience.

According to GSN, “Scott will report from the High Stakes Poker suite, interviewing poker players about poker strategy, big hands and the table dynamics.”

This sounds like she's going to have a role similar to the Poker After Dark girls.

I'm curious to see how its going to turn out. I'm sure it will be great.

I am so excited. I love Kara Scott. She did the Carribean one that was on TV and does an excellent job. Like the decision!

I remember when she first started in poker on Poker Night Live (a UK poker channel) and had trouble playing in $2 sng's - sure come a long way in a short space of time.

Best of luck to her and to those who don't know Sammy 'Any Two' George, he can make Tom Dwan look tight lol :D

Well I must admit she is much better looking than AJ .. but i'm not sure she will be able to play the "straight guy" as well as he did. I guess we'll find out.

NSFW pic of Kara Scott.

But as host she'll have to talk, so I'm not optimistic. Pretty girls don't have to be as witty to get by, so I don't have high hopes for her conversation skills.

yeah i posted a few weeks ago that it looked like she would get it. At first I was dissapointed AJ Benza got canned but I think Kara and Gabe will do well together.

Looks has no real impact on conversational skills and wit is always strongly tied to intelligence.

Some of the wittiest folks I know are stunningly attractive, e.g. my trophy-wife Candy (yup, that is her given name).

I, for one, am taking a wait and see attitude rather than prejudge.

She is easy on the eyes that's for sure and knows the game. So we'll see how it goes. Also it'll interesting to see how Gabe interacts with her.
Take care

I want A.J. back. He was entertaining and played off Gabe's banter really well.

I suppose I don't really care who hosts HSP....I watch it for the action and the table personalities. That said, it won't hurt my feelings to have to see Kara Scott on screen.
