Season 13 of the High Stakes Poker continued on Monday night with the season’s fifth episode on PokerGO. It was a continuation of last week’s game in which Jennifer Tilly and Andrew Robl squared off in what turned out to be the largest pot of the current season.
Episode 5 continued with the $400/$800 no-limit hold’em cash game at PokerGO Studio. Here’s how things stacked up at the start of the episode.
| Player | Chip Stack |
|---|---|
| Jennifer Tilly | $649,000 |
| Andrew Robl | $539,000 |
| Sameh Elamawy | $468,000 |
| Brandon Steven | $326,000 |
| Andrew Pacheco | $132,000 |
| Masato Yokosawa | $124,000 |
| Bo Brownstein | $116,000 |
| Justin Gavri | $74,500 |
Gavri Doubles in First Hand with Quads
In the first hand of the episode, there was an $800 straddle when Justin Gavri raised to $3,500 from the button with the 5♠5♥. Brandon Steven called from the big blind with the 2♥2♣, Sameh Elamawy did the same from the. Straddle with the J♥4♠, and it was three-way action to a flop of K♠2♠3♠.
Two checks saw Gavri continued for $3,000, Steven just called with bottom set, and Elamawy folded. The 5♦ turn saw Steven check, Gavri bet $11,000, and Steven check-raised to $29,000. Gavri called and made quads when the 5♣ appeared on the river.
Steven moved all in and Gavri snap-called off his last $39,000 to win the pot and double to $153,600.
Steven Sets Up Pacheco
Steven raised to $5,000 holding the 3♥3♣ and Andrew Pacheco defended the big blind with the 10♠6♠. Pacheco check-called a bet of $7,000 on the J♣3♦6♥ and then checked for a second time on the 4♥ turn.
Steven bet $20,000 with bottom set and Pacheco thought for a bit with his middle pair before calling. The Q♠ river saw Pacheco check for a third time and he hit the tank after Steven bet $47,000. Eventually, Pacheco called off about half his remaining stack and watched the $159,900 pot pushed to Steven.
Tilly Stacks Pacheco
Steven raised to $3,000 with the A♣6♣ and Tilly called with the 5♠4♠. Pacheco came along from the big blind with the K♠10♦ and it was three-way action to a flop of 5♣9♥K♥. Two checks saw Tilly bet $5,000 with bottom pair, Pacheco called, and Steven got out of the way.
The 4♣ turn gave Tilly the lead and she bet $8,000 after Pacheco checked. The latter then check-raised to $23,000 and called off his remaining $21,000 after Tilly moved all in. The duo agreed to run it twice on the $107,700 pot but Pacheco came up empty when the 2♦ appeared on the first run followed by the 3♣ on the second.
Elamawy vs. Robl for Nearly Seven Figures
Robl raised to $2,000 on the button with the K♠K♣ and Steven called from the small blind with the J♥10♣. Elamawy then three-bet to $10,4000 from the big with the A♣K♥, Robl four-bet to $35,000, and Steven folded. Elamawy then five-bet to $150,000 before Robl six-bet shoved all in with the covering stack. Elamawy called off for $489,000 total and just like that there was a $981,300 pot on the line.
The two agreed to run it twice and the first flop came Q♦9♦A♥ to pair Elamawy. Neither the 7♠ turn nor 8♦ river changed a thing and Elamawy locked up half the pot. On the second, another ace appeared in the window when the flop fell 6♥7♥A♦. The 3♠ turn left Robl needing the case king on the river (the other had been folded preflop), but it was not meant to be as the 4♣ peeled off.
Elamawy cracked kings twice to win one of the biggest pots in High Stakes Poker history. After the hand, Robl was left with just $62,700 while Elamawy chipped up to nearly a million-dollar stack.
Bustout in Final Hand
In the last hand of the episode, Bo Brownstein opened for $4,000 with the Q♠J♠ and Tilly called with the K♥6♥. Masato Yokosawa came along form the button with the A♦2♦ before Gavri three-bet to $26,000 with the A♠Q♣ in the small blind.
Only Brownstein called and both players flopped top pair on the 9♥5♠Q♥ flop. Gavri continued for $18,000 and then quickly called when Brownstein raised all in for $53,500. They agreed to run it twice on the $170,300 pot and Gavri held on the first run when it came the 7♦ turn and A♥ river. On the second, the K♦ turn and 3♦ river both missed Brownstein and he was felted in the final hand of Episode 5.
