High Stakes Poker Season 6 To Show Fewer Hands?

High Stakes Poker season 6 will add at least two new non-poker segments, presumably resulting in fewer hands being shown:

• As previously mentioned, Kara Scott will be doing interviews.
• Each episode will also include a segment called "Did You Know?" where Daniel Negreanu will give a brief lesson about the game. For example, in the first episode he's expected to explain the origin of the term "Dead Man's Hand."

I think anything that results in fewer hands being shown will likely harm the show. They're already showing just a selection of the most interesting hands; some shows like Poker After Dark show most of the hands. The shtick between Gabe and AJ presumably won't be replaced, but I doubt that will save as much time as will be spent on the new segments.

The Las Vegas Sun has a preview promising a big hand between two players I won't mention here.

Card Player has a preview video:
