Poker Superstars InvitationalThe Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament is a television show chronicling a Texas Hold'em tournament with no limits. It debuted during a time when poker was a very popular activity, and when it was just beginning to become known more as a sport to be taken on professionally by poker enthusiasts. Not only has it aired on television, but also it is available for collectors who want to see all the seasons that are currently on DVD. Three seasons have been produced and released thus far which are available for purchase. Season One was hosted by Chris Rose, Michael Konik, and Mark Gregorich. Later, hosts of the television show included Matt Vasgersian, Erick Lindgren, Annie Duke, and Howard Lederer. Additional guest hosts were also implemented for segments that were filmed behind the scenes, such as for interviews, and this can be explored in greater detail on the DVD's.In order to enter the contest, the competitors needed to pay in a certain amount. This is known as the entrance fee, and everyone who is invited has to agree to the pre-determined entrance fee, if they want to be included in the game and on the television show. Over the seasons, the price ranged from a $40,000 entrance fee to a $400,000 entrance fee. In all of poker history, the entrance fee of $400,000 was the steepest entrance fee on record. The number of contestants also varied from eight to twenty-four players. While some players were able to compete in all three seasons, there were a number of other poker players who were only in one or two seasons of Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament.

Over the three seasons, the structure of the tournaments varied a great deal. Most of the seasons were fairly easy to follow for those who were familiar with poker, but Season 2 was particularly confusing with the program going from twenty-four of the round robin style matches to different and more complex rounds. The Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament was also criticized for not inviting and including more European poker players.
