Ante up with the Pawn Stars when a poker cheating device finds its way into the shop. Will the guys cash in their chips and score this devilish instrument of deception or be forced to fold? Then, a mysterious sleeping ring believed to be from WWII finds its way into Rick's fingers. Will he move in for thehug or be stopped dead in his tracks? And later, Chum hosts his own poker night, but will his party be a full house or a royal flush?
Pawn Stars is filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada, where it chronicles the daily activities at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, a 24-hour family business operated by patriarch Richard Harrison (or "The Old Man"), his son Rick Harrison (who opened the shop with his father in 1988), Rick's son Corey (who has worked there since childhood), and Corey's childhood friend, Austin "Chumlee" Russell.
The series depicts the staff's interactions with customers, who bring in a variety of artifacts to sell or pawn and who are shown haggling over the price and discussing its historical background, with narration provided by the Harrisons and occasionally Chumlee. The series also follows the interpersonal conflicts among the cast.
Numerous local experts in a variety of areas also regularly appear to appraise the items being sold or pawned.
