My guess is each player starts with $300 chips, and the blinds start out out at 5/10, but by hand 5 they are already 100/200 forcing players to either move in or fold, a la Poker Superstars 2.

Probably the same kind of poker as you see on Celebrity Poker. Everyone is asking a lot of questions:
"Is it my turn?" "What is the minimum bet?" "Does a straight beat a flush?" "How much to call?" "Are those real?" "What would Phil do with this hand?"

Laura Prepon's Celebrity Home Game Style
Four teen pop TV stars and some hard-luck friend who needs money sit around in the Hustler card room, which has been made up to look like some gigantic house, playing card bingo and ignoring Phil Laak. Phil Laak re-evaluates his desire for celebrity status.

It's six-handed, instead of nine-handed, play. Reports of being the only tournament to do this are greatly exaggerated.

They show the audience everybody's hole cards, so when you are on break in the restroom a bunch of smart-alecks can come up to you and say, "Dude, I can't believe you folded your suited A-10 to somebody's KQ." Or "HelllOOOOO, the rabbit cam said you would have made your flush...what a bad fold...you suck at poker."
I don't know why I'm not on TV. I ALWAYS make the best play and never get bluffed when I'm watching at home. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Ah, quite right. My mistake. Still, it's not as unique as the organizers claim.
