Scott Gaughan typically hosts comedy competitions at corporate events. Now, in the second half of the third season of Big Game on Tour, he's stepping into the role of the Loose Cannon. As an amateur, Gaughan will be given a starting stack by the organizers in this televised high stakes cash game. After 150 hands, he can keep any winnings over the initial $50,000.
Polk and Hinchcliffe: A Money and Microphone Duel
Doug Polk and Tony Hinchcliffe have had an unconventional heads-up match. Had Hinchcliffe won, he would’ve pocketed $20,000. Polk, on the other hand, was playing for a minute on stage in the Kill Tony show. The comedian won the first match, but in a double-or-nothing rematch, Polk claimed victory and earned his time on stage. Now, they will face off in a cash game.
The lineup also includes Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari, mixed games specialist Esther Taylor, and reality TV personality Princess Love. While Polk and Hinchcliffe continue their heads-up rivalry, Gaughan has his own challenge: to leave the table with a bigger stack than he started. In the 150-hand format, one big pot could determine his payout.
