Grafton, Tilly & a World Cup Legend Return for Season 2 of The Big Game on Tour

★☆☆☆☆

(User Rating 1/5)

Get ready — The Big Game on Tour is back for Season 2, and it’s bringing more drama, more stars, and even higher stakes. Premiering May 24 on PokerStars’ YouTube channel, the fan-favorite series continues its epic revival with another round of high-octane poker featuring top-tier pros and bold amateur challengers known as the Loose Cannons.

This season’s lineup is stacked:

  • Jennifer Tilly, Hollywood icon and poker powerhouse

  • Sam Grafton, high roller and PokerStars Ambassador

  • Andre Akkari, Brazilian legend and PokerStars Ambassador

  • Griffin Benger, Shark Cage Champion

  • And… Gerard Piqué, football royalty and World Cup winner

Five all-new episodes will roll out on YouTube before making their way to Fox Sports 1 just two weeks later.

Just like last season, the Loose Cannons will be given a $50,000 stake to play 150 hands — and whatever they win, they keep. But who will rise from the amateur ranks this time? Tune in May 17 for a special bonus episode featuring the auditions, where hopefuls make their case for a seat at the table.

As PokerStars Ambassador Joe Stapleton puts it:

The Big Game is what poker dreams are made of. It’s high-stakes tension with a home game feel — and this season brings even more of that David vs. Goliath magic.”

Let the games begin.
