Filmed in Seoul, South Korea, and hosted by experienced poker broadcaster Ali Nejad, Game of Gold combines high-stakes poker with survival reality TV. Over the course of the 12 episodes, the 16 participants compete across a variety of poker formats, including Sit & Go and Heads-Up games, Indian Poker and a standard tournament poker game, with players that fall short at the poker table eliminated from the show. Players competing are Daniel Negreanu, Jason Koon, Fedor Holz, Kevin Martin, Kyna England, Josh Arieh, Daniel Cates, Lukas Robinson, Nikita Luther, Charlie Carrel, Johan “YoH ViraL” Guilbert, Olga Iermolcheva, David Williams, Andy Tsai, Michael Soyza and Maria Ho. “Game of Gold is an innovative and brave show that supports and amplifies the culture of poker by adding something new and fun to the mix,” Cates says. “Finally the entertainment and human aspect added to what is often pigeonholed into a robotic game.
