Five episodes into its twelve-episode run, GGPoker & Poker After Dark’s Game of Gold has already cemented itself as one of the best poker shows ever, earning plaudits across the poker community and elsewhere for its thrilling combination of reality TV and high-stakes poker action, with a $456,000 prize waiting to be claimed by the eventual winner.
The first five episodes are currently available on the GGPoker.tv YouTube channel, with the remaining episodes launched on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays through December 4.
