There is going to be a season 4, from what I understand, they are done filming - not sure when it will start airing.

It will be a sweet late summer/fall of televised poker with the WSOP and HSP airing all new episodes.

Anything is better than watching the pathetic WPT final tables.

Cool, 17 episodes. Do they decide on the number of episodes for the season beforehand, or do they vary the number based on how much action there was? In any case, hopefully there would be a smooth flow to the tables like in season 1 and 2, and not abrupt shift changes like last season.
