The Noteworthy Presence of Non-Participating Players in High Stakes Poker

In addition to the presence of various outstanding poker players in the past four seasons of High stakes poker, the non-participating players in attendance added color and life to the various poker events that transpired. What makes them special is their extensive knowledge and background on the game, which means that they easily understand the poker action as it happens on the floor. For whatever reasons they may have not to participate in the various games, they still serve as inspiration to the active players as well as the numerous fans and spectators all over the world.

During the first season of High Stakes Poker, half-poker player and half- professional hairdresser Marco Traniello made his strong presence felt at the competition as he watched on the sidelines his fellow poker greats as they wonderfully compete against one another. He is believed to be present at the occasion to witness his wife Jennifer Harman as she takes out on her fellow poker competitors. Furthermore, Traniello has also developed a close bond between the other participants, especially Daniel Negreanu whom he considers as a very good friend.

Meanwhile, one-time World Poker Tour titlist Minh Ly was also present during the very first season of the televised poker series, although it was until the second installment of the show wherein he actively participated in the various events. Ly and Traniello were among the most noteworthy people in attendance during the debut season of High Stakes Poker. Somehow, their presence is enough to add color and spice to the overall success of the show.

Furthermore, the second season seems to be more star-studded than the previous one, with a bevy of world-class professional poker players in attendance to witness their fellow competitors engage in high quality poker games. Gavin Smith, Kathy Liebert, and the stunning Jennifer Tilly were among the spectators who cheered and rooted for their best bets to win in the different games. Traniello was once again present at the occasion, together with fellow poker great Hoyt Corkins. Daniel Negreanu's mother, Mike Matusow's mother, and Carmel Petresco complete the noteworthy people in attendance during the second installment of High Stakes Poker.

Season 3 was no different, parading some poker celebrities at the stands as they watch and root for their favorite poker players in action. Once again, Petresco graced the occasion to have a wonderful time watching some of his peers compete in highly competitive games and contests. Furthermore, John Nguyen was also present to watch the action unfold. After his stint in season 1, Kassem Deeb made a comeback, not as a poker competitor, but as a spectator who watched the drama of highly competitive poker games unfold right before his very eyes.
