AJ Benza replaced by a woman on HSP - Page 4 - Poker Card Room

another case of messing with a winning formula, it makes no sense at all.

If it's simply so that we can have some eye candy to look at, they might want to consider that the presenters are on screen for about 60-90 seconds during the entire show.

Sorry to hear AJ.

Mods please ban

IF they do it (and I hope they don't), then they should replace A.J. with Liv Boeree.

GSN can burn in hell, stupid ****s. How dare they do this! Gabe and AJ is half the reason I watch HSP. I don't want some stupid ass bimbo ***** screwing up what is an excellent show. I'm going to send a complaint to GSN, I hope AJ sues the crap out of that crappy tv network.

horrible, horrible news.

HSP will never be the same

the only person who could replace AJ would be Ali Nejad, but even then the dynamic wouldnt be the same

goodnight sweet prince

Hollywood is full of stupid scum idiots. They are probably trying to kill the show so they can get rid of it like WPT (not that HSP is of the same quality - HSP is far superior)

As for these talentless suit hacks in Hollywood well ....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCEeAn6_QJo

Benza is good and all, but im more disturbed if its vanessa rousso taking over, will make the show unbearable to watch.

Now that AJ has confirmed this I think they should get Annette15 in as his replacement.

She is hot and she knows poker.

Could be worse. They could have got rid of Gabe. Man if that happened I would have been suicidal.

It isn't confirmed, it's just some random post saying it was Rousso. Her voice is so annoying that Stars didn't even use it in her latest commercial.

1.) Idiotic decision by the HSP producers.

2.) That said, AJ, c'mon dude. It's Hollywood. Nobody cares about "putting a father and his family out on the street". And don't EVER offer to take a pay cut. If they are going in a different direction, just say "That's fine. I understand. Keep me in mind if things don't work out."

3.) I hope they bring you back next season.
