This will be the first season the show will be on GSN after five seasons on the Travel Channel. GSN will pay WPT $300,000 per episode and has set aside $3 million to market the program. Each of the 23 two-hour episodes will air Mondays at 9:00pm ET/PT, beginning on March 24, with encore presentations airing at midnight and the following Sunday at 7:00pm ET/PT.
