00:00Previously, on High Stakes Poker, a new group walked in.
00:06And before they got comfortable...
00:08I just sit there and play perfect.
00:09You play good.
00:10I don't think you play perfect.
00:11You have no idea, Jared.
00:15Phil Hellmuth walked out.
00:18Okay.
00:20I got aces.
00:21Nice hand.
00:22Good hand.
00:23I quit.
00:24That was fun.
00:25Come on.
00:26He put three bricks out there for the four high.
00:27Cash is so sweet.
00:28Out come the bricks.
00:29Crispy cash on the table.
00:30Missed this.
00:31I'm all in.
00:32These ladies ain't ladies unless they're your ladies.
00:33Got their hands on a monster and that's what it takes.
00:34If you've got what it takes, you're in the grave.
00:35High Stakes.
00:36It is possible that Phil Hellmuth is somewhere in the middle of the deck.
00:37I don't know.
00:38I don't know.
00:39I don't know.
00:40I don't know.
00:41I don't know.
00:42I don't know.
00:43I don't know.
00:44I don't know.
00:45I don't know.
00:46I don't know.
00:47I don't know.
00:48I don't know.
00:49I don't know.
00:50I don't know.
00:52It is possible that Phil Hellmuth is somewhere inside Aria Resort and Casino, but he's not
00:58in our High Stakes suite.
01:00Seth Gottlieb made sure of that.
01:02Hey, everybody.
01:03AJ Benz along with Nick Shulman back for another episode of High Stakes Action.
01:07Justin Young took Phil's seat.
01:11Justin with the shorts and the hoodie on.
01:13No socks and sneakers, but that's the way the man plays poker.
01:19Finally, Justin, plus we've got Scott Seaver, Nick Shulman says, and I believe he's a fantastic
01:26poker player.
01:27Been that way for a long time.
01:29And there's Justin Gobry, keeping us entertained.
01:33All in all, a good group of guys.
01:38And we begin.
01:39They're like, you're supposed to do 150, and they're like, I'm done.
01:44Which is cool.
01:45I was doing a football box, and it was like out of 128.
01:48I'm like, at least that's like a power of two type thing.
01:52119 is a random number.
01:57We brought one football box.
01:58I'm going to give it to you so you can.
02:02But then remember where you get it from.
02:04Remember who butters your bread.
02:05I'm texting Tom this weekend.
02:08Sure.
02:09So this football item actually, this just came out today.
02:14It's a $500 box.
02:17I've seen this box.
02:18Seriously?
02:19Yeah, here.
02:20Dude.
02:21These are all trading cards?
02:22It's one card.
02:23So you have to, like, sweat it.
02:24Oh, this whole box is one card?
02:25One card.
02:26Yeah.
02:27Oh, that's why it's only one.
02:28Wow.
02:29Yeah.
02:30Oh, that's sick.
02:31Okay, that's genuinely sick.
02:32Kings for Gonzalez.
02:33One card.
02:34What is he looking for?
02:35So you're looking for A.R.
02:36Shroud.
02:37Honestly, that's just a good box.
02:38Did you collect cards as a kid?
02:39It's a little bit of baseball cards, but nothing crazy, you.
02:43I mean, I flipped baseball cards as a kid in school, you know.
02:47This tennis stuff is really good.
02:48I want you to open it.
02:49We're going to, but we're figuring out how to gamble.
02:50So it's got a sweat.
02:51All right, Godfrey's in.
02:52Yeah, which way is the sweat?
02:53Go like this.
02:54Oh, there's a sweat panel?
02:55Oh, **** yeah.
02:56There's a...
02:57Oh, no, there isn't.
02:58Oh, no, there isn't.
02:59Okay, I didn't see it.
03:00Here, should I get, like, a credit card?
03:01Not a credit card.
03:02The name is on your left.
03:03Nine for Godfrey?
03:04That could get him in trouble.
03:05Yeah, yeah, it's a peel.
03:06Hmm.
03:07I can look at the name and then just tell you, like, the first letter of the first
03:08name or something like that.
03:09I can at least get my player's card.
03:10I can be your sweater.
03:11I don't mind.
03:12Marcus bet 6,500.
03:13Yeah, perfect.
03:14Godfrey's in.
03:15All right.
03:16You said it's...
03:17I think so.
03:18But if you want me to, like, look first, I don't mind.
03:19I think it's on...
03:20Here, yeah, yeah.
03:21Set it up for me.
03:22Exactly.
03:23I'm going to set it up.
03:24Another nine gets Godfrey out of trouble.
03:25It opened when I was slow-rolling Ike Axe in when I won the peel-over.
03:26It was...
03:27Okay.
03:28Okay.
03:29All right.
03:30All right.
03:31All right.
03:32All right.
03:33All right.
03:34All right.
03:35All right.
03:36All right.
03:37All right.
03:38All right.
03:39All right.
03:40All right.
03:41Perfect.
03:42All right.
03:43I'll...
03:44Do you want to do the peel-over?
03:45Okay.
03:46So it's perfectly covered.
03:47Okay.
03:48The name is on the bottom.
03:49Yeah.
03:50And if you go from the top, you would be able to see the helmet...
03:51Perfect.
03:52Yeah.
03:53We're going to do that first.
03:54Yeah.
03:55So you want to slide it down to then see the helmet, if you want.
03:56All right.
03:57We're here live on high-stakes poker.
03:58This is good.
03:59We're about play a 100k pot.
04:00We're opening some...
04:01But in the meantime...
04:02We're opening some tennis and some...
04:03Godfrey bets 24,000.
04:04All right.
04:05I see a little orange and green.
04:08for A-Chain.
04:10A-Chain, yeah.
04:10He's the guy.
04:11A-Chain's a real name.
04:13Yeah.
04:15This is so, I tell you,
04:17the nerds have taken over the world.
04:18Actually, Paul, you like this product.
04:20Right?
04:23Let's see his number, 30.
04:26Walkers Calls.
04:28Wow.
04:28Who?
04:29Ricky Williams, but it's like a,
04:31Really?
04:31It's a good, the patches are good, though.
04:33It's the Dolphins Ricky.
04:34The patches is sick.
04:37Look at these patches.
04:38Oh, oh, what's that number for?
04:40Yeah, that's my guy.
04:41It's probably numbered like five or something.
04:45Gavry has been able to tune out the trading card talk.
04:51It has to be numbered.
04:52And there's a Brick City.
04:55Nice value bet from Gavry.
04:57Board got a little scary.
04:59That's cool, that's really cool.
05:00A lot of commotion going on behind Marcus.
05:02Dude, I love when the patches are like that.
05:05Nick, what do you think?
05:06Think he'll call?
05:06Should he call?
05:08You know, it's one of those spots he has a bluff catcher.
05:13The seven is an interesting card.
05:14On the one hand, we fear the straight now.
05:17But on the other, Justin is now representing
05:20perhaps a stronger hand in a sense
05:23than he would on a brick river
05:25where maybe he's value betting a worse pair than Kings.
05:28Now he's kind of saying it's trips are better.
05:31Not giving a lot away, Gavry.
05:34Never does.
05:35Tough spot for Gonsalves.
05:41Maybe I should flip a coin.
05:45Can you f**k on me?
05:51Does get away.
05:52Ooh. Very nice.
05:57At least you can get 5K back if you're in.
05:59Is tennis your number one sport?
06:00Yeah. Or hockey?
06:01As I said, they're one-two for me.
06:05Tennis and hockey, really?
06:06I'm a football basketball guy.
06:07You, Nick?
06:09I like football and basketball.
06:10Boxing's probably my favorite sport.
06:12I always watch you throwing punches
06:14around the hallways and stuff.
06:16Yeah, that's right, AJ.
06:16I like it. That's why I stay away from it.
06:18Mind what you say.
06:19I want to get it.
06:20You know, I was pepper sprayed by a security guard.
06:23Were you really?
06:24Oh yeah, two weeks ago.
06:25Unbelievable. Two weeks ago?
06:26Yep, yep.
06:26Punched me in the face and pepper sprayed me.
06:28I couldn't do anything about it.
06:29You know, you're getting a lot of incidents.
06:30I wore a Trump shirt.
06:31It's always the other guy's fault.
06:32Listen, I'm a big mouth,
06:33but that guy was wrong.
06:34Kento with ace-king.
06:35What's he going to do?
06:36Raises to 1,200.
06:38And then a 25K, two card.
06:41Pepper spray hurts.
06:42That's wild.
06:43He got you in the eyes?
06:44Bro, both eyes full.
06:46When we're off air.
06:47Yeah, we'll hear this story.
06:48Or on air, by the way.
06:50There's golf trips or whatever,
06:51so if it lines up, I'll play a few.
06:53I was a little loud that night.
06:55And he, you know, it was one of those things.
06:57Pepper spray is extreme.
06:58Bottom pair for Gavry in the back door.
07:00All right, here we go.
07:01Top, top for Kento Son.
07:03Tournaments.
07:04And PLO's better for cash.
07:06Yeah, yeah, for sure.
07:07That's my feel on it.
07:09But they're still worse than like all the...
07:12That was a very forceful flick.
07:13Did you see that?
07:14Yeah, for a thousand bucks, a little flick there.
07:16PLO tournaments a lot.
07:18Absolutely.
07:18Check from Kento immediately.
07:20That was incredibly awful to play, I thought.
07:23Remember when they had the pot limit, Holgum?
07:25And the devil does slide in for Mr. Gavry.
07:27A little bit of torture.
07:28It was a lot of fun in the beginning.
07:29And then anywhere close to the bubble,
07:31it was torture for like five hours.
07:34They gotta change it for the stud.
07:36And for Kento, he has to feel pretty good.
07:38He's checking once more.
07:39Why?
07:40Perhaps giving Gavry some rope to bluff.
07:42Okay.
07:43The way you play stud is, let's say you're high card to raz.
07:46You bring in $3,500 if it's 500 a man.
07:51So you're just doing like a little seven way flip.
07:53But they don't wanna do that.
07:54They don't wanna do that
07:55because then the guy's all in and has no money.
07:56Gavry bets 9,600.
07:58He did it that way.
07:59All right, Kento, here we go.
08:02And it fastens at the end.
08:03He's making it so slow.
08:04Yeah.
08:07You should have seen him play raz this summer.
08:09It was a spectacle.
08:13No, in a good way.
08:13I've never seen anyone play raz like him.
08:17He came to my table.
08:19He played me four hands.
08:20He beat me all four.
08:21Busted me from the tournament.
08:23And then spent the next month
08:24telling everyone I'm the best raz player
08:26he's ever seen play.
08:27I'm serious.
08:28I am too.
08:29You got him almost fold every time on six.
08:31Correct.
08:32He came this close to what would have been
08:33the bluff of the century.
08:35This close every time.
08:35Scott plays some games really,
08:37some games pretty poor.
08:38But the raz.
08:41It's true.
08:41We all do.
08:42I'm saying, but the raz.
08:43See, like when you play mixed games,
08:44you're always like, that's just true.
08:45Stud, stud.
08:46Scott's probably top three in the three studs.
08:50Kento calls.
08:52Triple loose.
08:53That'll be good.
08:55Sexy panda.
08:56You would take yourself over anyone in three studs, right?
08:58Pretty much?
08:59No.
09:01Maybe Hennigan.
09:03Yeah, Hennigan.
09:04Maybe Hennigan, Shulman.
09:05Yeah.
09:08Opie.
09:09Yeah, yeah.
09:10For sure.
09:10I'm saying, for tournament,
09:12I would probably take me.
09:13Kento is looking up there for help.
09:15But I would take about 7,000 people over me
09:18in no limit hold'em.
09:19But I'm still here playing because you just play.
09:22Like, that's what you learn.
09:23We're not amongst that 7,000.
09:25No, no.
09:26The point is I don't care.
09:27That's not the point.
09:28When you play mixed games,
09:29you learn that, like,
09:31you just have to play things you're good at and bad at.
09:33And that's just part of poker.
09:34And it's okay.
09:38There it is.
09:39It's been home for a while now.
09:40The beautiful Aria Resort and Casino.
09:43And I'll tell you something.
09:44Right now, Justin Gavri, he's having a great old time
09:47figuring out ways to win with queen nine suited,
09:50seven six suited.
09:51Nick, when they.
09:52I think I won at the final table.
09:53When it goes that way, it must feel good, huh?
09:54I just wish I had my cards
09:55while the dealer was pushing them.
09:56Spread them across the table and be like,
09:58guys, look at this.
10:01Look what he's doing to you all.
10:03Every hand.
10:04Literally, I couldn't breathe.
10:06I was laughing.
10:07So it's funny when you're winning, you know?
10:09He would just spread my cards and he'd be like,
10:12there's Benny Glaser playing great cards
10:14like a great poker player.
10:16There's Scott.
10:16You lose one pot.
10:17Biggest trap I've ever seen in my life.
10:20He wins again.
10:21We gotta get this guy stuck.
10:23He loses one A and he's playing every pot now.
10:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:25Did I?
10:26You lost a pot.
10:28Look at this flop.
10:29Well, that was the switch for winning.
10:30You're right about that, A.J.
10:31A lot of stuff going on.
10:34The way Blez came with a little needle to Kento.
10:37Win or lose, I play the same.
10:38Ah, pretty bad.
10:41I am unbelievably.
10:436,000 from Bleznik.
10:44But both are very different from dead even.
10:47I play great when I'm even.
10:49Kento calls.
10:51Scott has the biggest tell in the world that he's losing.
10:53Headphones are on.
10:55The headphones are on, he's buried.
10:56Yeah.
11:00Or I'm sitting with, I have a two person list.
11:03I bet I can guess one of them.
11:05You can.
11:06I bet you can.
11:10It's not someone that played today, though.
11:12Correct, it is not someone that played today.
11:16I love chatting with Phil.
11:19Does one of them start with a D, first name?
11:22No?
11:23No.
11:23Oh, okay.
11:25Marcus raises to 30 dimes.
11:29It's an interesting spot for Kento.
11:31It's the kind of spot where we might prefer
11:33continuing with sixes versus something like nines.
11:37They're really the same.
11:39They're just kind of bluff catchers.
11:41But at least the sixes, of course, can make a straight.
11:45Having said that once,
11:46Gonsalves makes it 30 dimes for not loving life.
11:50Right.
11:51You can see the set being built from here.
11:52Yeah.
11:54It's genuinely great, like really, really good.
12:19What do you think, AJ?
12:20Kento's taking, well, Kento hasn't done much so far.
12:24I'd like to see him make a move here.
12:25You guys want to play, we show a card, winner?
12:27I would love to.
12:28Well, there you go, AJ.
12:29Yeah, perfect.
12:30That's what I want to see.
12:31He's going to give you a little action.
12:32Nice.
12:33I don't care.
12:34Let's try it.
12:35As long as it's quick.
12:36That's the only thing I want.
12:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:38As long as it's quick.
12:38No, we choose the card.
12:39Yeah, as long as we're just-
12:40Winner shows one card.
12:41Yeah, I'm in.
12:42Is everyone okay with that?
12:43Yeah, I love that game.
12:44Interesting decision for Gonsalves.
12:46But they get to pick.
12:47I mean, they're all-
12:48But that would pursue value again.
12:49It's something like we're looking at an ace
12:52with a heart to accompany it.
12:54Of course, not a three or a five for that matter.
12:57It hurts me.
12:59And obviously, we fall to the hands we fall to.
13:01This seems a little bit close for Gonsalves
13:04as far as whether to pursue value or just check.
13:07Not clear.
13:08You're playing the best one at the table, Seth.
13:09Oh, yes, clearly.
13:11Seth is playing really good today.
13:13Yeah, yeah.
13:14I'm just playing super good.
13:15I'm down 70K.
13:17Yeah.
13:18One hand.
13:19I also got cooler than most of anyone at the table.
13:23Well, Scott got cooler.
13:24I was about to say, I lost to Jack Eye.
13:27Nothing in him.
13:27Scott got cooler than everyone.
13:29Jack two to 60.
13:32The hand plays itself.
13:33Marcus takes his time a lot, huh?
13:35He's thinking things through.
13:37I gotta agree with you there, AJ.
13:38He does take his time a lot, but I understand.
13:40It's not great because if I bet 80,000 on the river,
13:42you're gonna just call.
13:43The river's a two.
13:44I was.
13:45I was literally calling it.
13:46I would've gone stacked on the Jack, which would've sucked.
13:48All right.
13:51Jack to the river.
13:53What a gin river.
13:54I might tend to want to turn these sixes into a bluff.
13:58I literally hurt myself laughing.
14:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:02Young threw his shoulder blade out laughing.
14:05Seavers standing.
14:06Yeah.
14:07Not sure why.
14:10I get sleep injuries.
14:11I pull my muscles in my sleep sometimes.
14:13Wait till you get older, Nick.
14:14It's great fun.
14:14I wake up with a bad neck sometimes.
14:16I know.
14:17It's the worst.
14:19Just wake up, can't move your head.
14:20Like why?
14:21What happened?
14:22Well, we're here.
14:23It's a great fun.
14:23My aunt woke up with a bruised shoulder.
14:25I said, what happened?
14:26She goes, the wind did it.
14:27Yeah.
14:28The wind can't give you a bruise, Aunt May.
14:30Sure it can, honey.
14:31You know it's your turn, right?
14:32Yeah.
14:33Okay.
14:35He's been impressed.
14:36Interesting for Kento.
14:37A lot of clear targets.
14:39Yeah, yeah.
14:40Bluff-wise, kind of hard to win if we check.
14:45Politski's gotten even better since the start of the hand.
14:50Speaking of which.
14:50It's aged a little bit.
14:52Every time I look, my glass is empty.
14:54Look at these guys, AJ.
14:57Non-stop talk.
14:5825 and a half.
14:59I can't wait to see where Blake Shelton
15:01is ranked worldwide.
15:03Oh, that is an exciting sweat, actually.
15:05This might be the longest poker hand I think I've played in.
15:07I'm telling you, this is a long one.
15:09Watch.
15:11Definitely didn't play it.
15:12That's not true.
15:13The hand where you open the decks.
15:14It's just a splash.
15:14Just so you're part of the course.
15:16Check for Kento.
15:16I've been there.
15:17Give me a little tickle.
15:18Just so you're part of the course.
15:19To succeed?
15:21No.
15:21Winner for Gonsalves.
15:22Yep.
15:23Take it, sir.
15:24Oh, wow.
15:25Oh, my God.
15:26This is not how I thought this was gonna end.
15:26All right.
15:28The Bless said, oh, my God.
15:29What's up, Bless?
15:32Me and you had a very similar hand there.
15:34And I would have beat you.
15:35You made a good raise.
15:36Well, it took a while,
15:38but the pot finally gets pushed to Marcus.
15:41Today is the last day of my poker.
15:45I will never touch the chip and card again
15:50to become a psychologist and a philosopher
15:54to help others.
15:57Did we just hear Kento say he's quitting poker?
16:01I believe he's, you know.
16:04Well, thank you for gracing us with your last day, Kento.
16:06I'm glad we made his dream come true.
16:08He played high stakes poker,
16:09but he quit on high stakes poker.
16:10That's a, you know, Phil Helby says he quits
16:12and he comes back a week later.
16:14When Kento quits, he quits.
16:16The hardcore poker community, Negrano.
16:19So you think Helby's more well-known?
16:21Yeah, but they're absolutely one and two by far.
16:23Let's see if you can have some fun
16:25before he officially walks away.
16:26Doyle, I mean, like, I mean,
16:28I know he's not alive anymore,
16:29but he's gotta be in the mix.
16:30Yeah, but I think one and two,
16:32there's like a clear drop below.
16:34Raise.
16:35Bless raises to 1,000 with a big raise.
16:391,000 moves.
16:40Clean ducker clubs.
16:41I represent the casual poker player.
16:46Seven deuce.
16:47Kento raises to 4,000.
16:49I love this.
16:50I like this from Kento.
16:52Go on, sir.
16:55Ah, see, you said it, Jared.
16:57Once he lost the pot, he's not even-
16:59I told you.
17:00Lose a 20K pot, you go ballistic.
17:01Justin, that was so f***ing funny.
17:04No, Justin, like the way he did the,
17:06oh my God, that was so good.
17:07Yeah, that was a good one.
17:09Obviously-
17:10He likes eight, two, and seven, two.
17:11Obviously, keen producers like us know these small things.
17:14The best part about that hand
17:15was he had me absolutely,
17:16I had him absolutely dead.
17:17Literally, I had him, I had his suit dead,
17:19and I had a deuce in my hand.
17:20Shocking.
17:22Well played.
17:26The old seven deuce.
17:30Raise.
17:30Hey, Paul.
17:31Can we possibly get a barricade across the door,
17:34if you don't mind?
17:35Because I don't see locks anywhere,
17:37but if you could just have like the set crew
17:39build a barricade, that'd be great.
17:42Thanks.
17:43You understand why he's saying that, AJ?
17:45About the barricade?
17:46Yeah.
17:46He doesn't want anybody to be allowed to leave.
17:48I like it.
17:49Scotty.
17:50But how about, how about Kento?
17:524,000 again.
17:53Kento's obviously looking to go out with a bang, AJ.
17:56Yeah, okay.
17:58Last day of poker ever, he says.
18:00Going to be a philosopher.
18:02What is going on here?
18:04He's winning.
18:05He's saving his English for a year from now.
18:08You know?
18:08I win a huge pot.
18:10If you, if, if I just check.
18:12What?
18:14Six, seven.
18:15He's having fun.
18:17I had a hand.
18:18I would've beat you.
18:23Raise.
18:25That's seen three Blesnicks move,
18:27no matter what the cards are.
18:28Raise.
18:29Raise.
18:30I love it.
18:31No, no, no.
18:31I honestly think I'm going to-
18:32Kento's third three bet in a row.
18:34Okay.
18:35Fun.
18:36Don't look at me.
18:39I'm just pulling it out.
18:40Look at the second.
18:41I'm out.
18:44I'm not falling for this one.
18:48That was strong, right?
18:49That is very strong.
18:52I know what flop I'm rooting for now.
18:53I'm sorry.
18:56Diamonds.
18:58The prettier one for Kento.
18:59Yeah, certainly.
19:01The same thought.
19:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:03Like if we're, if we're like locked in.
19:04Sneaky start from Kento.
19:06Second nuts comes in for Blesnick.
19:07Third, if we count the straight flush
19:09and of course the ace for Kento.
19:119,000 in the middle.
19:12And mind you, he's three bet twice in a row
19:14and showed the seven deuce and the 10 deuce.
19:16You can just do what you want.
19:18That's 5,000 here.
19:19Look at the bless his face.
19:27Okay.
19:30I call.
19:31That's what he said.
19:32Smooth call.
19:33Oh my God.
19:34I could have had the nuts.
19:36You would never know.
19:37I only looked at one.
19:38Production's going nuts right now.
19:43That's actually really funny.
19:44Forgive me, I said second nuts for the Blesnicks.
19:46The third, I thought it was the queen.
19:48Nonetheless.
19:49Okay.
19:50He's snapping.
19:51Yeah.
19:52We'll see the bad news.
19:54I could not have had the nuts.
19:55I nailed it.
19:56Yeah, you nailed it.
19:57I knew this was the one.
19:58Yeah, that's tough.
19:58I just had it on my face, I thought.
20:00That's tough.
20:01I looked at the ace jack and I was like,
20:03nope, not going to get me.
20:15Nice run for Kento Mori.
20:18And we're back right after this.
20:20That's your only way.
20:24Welcome back.
20:25Inside our high stakes suite,
20:27AJ Benz along with poker pro, Nick Shulman.
20:30The game is definitely opening up a bit.
20:33Even Kento Mori is getting in on the action
20:35with hands like seven deuce, 10 deuce.
20:36He's having some fun.
20:38Locked up.
20:39Don't jinx me.
20:39Nothing to go wrong now.
20:40I know what you're trying to do right now.
20:42You're focused, you're sharp.
20:45I know what you're trying to do.
20:46We're goofing around.
20:48Gabby raised to 2,000 with his sevens.
20:51Taking advantage.
20:51Honestly, it's great to see, I love it.
20:53The fans love it.
20:56What do you say?
20:58Okay, Kento walked away, okay.
21:01Don't take advantage of us, okay?
21:01Yeah.
21:09Marcus will defend the straddle.
21:14Who are you going to card Mona?
21:18You guys are serious, huh?
21:222,300 from Kaveri.
21:2423 and me.
21:30Do you ever do any of those genetic tests or anything?
21:33I haven't either.
21:34To stay off the grid or just because you don't care?
21:36No, well, both, but.
21:38I don't want to be like, hey, random company,
21:40take my, how that feels.
21:42It seems fair.
21:43I mean, fair to say no.
21:45Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:47Would you for a dog or is it kind of the same principle?
21:49No, no, I would for a dog.
21:51That seems fair.
21:53So whenever you draw the line, that's all?
21:55No, I just draw the line for myself.
21:57I also don't care if anyone else does it for themselves.
22:0010,000 from Marcus.
22:13You can find out some cool stuff from it.
22:14Like you can find out,
22:15there's a lot of predispositions for cancer.
22:18Oh, that's true.
22:19You can find out.
22:20That's actually really good.
22:22It's probably worth sharing data.
22:23As someone that owns a data, a company that uses data,
22:28I can tell you, it's not.
22:29Yeah.
22:30Similar to the screenings for like, you know,
22:33at-risk pregnancies where they can like tell,
22:34like if you're like more likely for like.
22:36I was going to say, you have two really key cards.
22:41At the Lambie and the Chris Paul.
22:44A big breast cancer gene that you can test for with it.
22:47See, that stuff is cool.
22:48I like that a lot.
22:52Justin, why did you jinx Marcus?
22:55That was pretty sick, thank you.
22:58I mean, I just, I just thought Justin was going to fold.
23:00I wasn't.
23:01Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:02Show me his cards.
23:04It looked like he was going to call right away.
23:07He had two really key cards.
23:09I don't know what that means.
23:14And the table is silent.
23:15I will say, these cards are really good.
23:17Almost.
23:18We've only just begun.
23:23I can miss that.
23:24He's the biggest winner in the game.
23:26He lost one small pot.
23:28Ace, Jack for Blesnik.
23:30Raised to 2,000.
23:33Gottlieb's Queens makes it 7,500.
23:36And these two, of course, have a lot of history.
23:37Not just on the show, but they've tussled off.
23:40Good.
23:41Once more into the fray, AJ.
23:45He's gesticulating.
23:46He's counting down.
23:46He's grabbing his chips.
23:48You don't want men the master doing that, AJ.
23:51You don't want me being the banker monopoly either.
23:54Same thing.
23:56You getting some fights with the family on game night, AJ?
23:59Game nights count.
24:01Especially Thanksgiving game night.
24:06Bles calls.
24:07And we'll go to the flop.
24:10Oh.
24:11How about that?
24:12Not good for Gottlieb.
24:14Good to be Bles.
24:15They're lined up even.
24:16Checks.
24:17The blue ink lined up is strong.
24:194,000 with Gottlieb.
24:25I would imagine Bles just juices it up right now.
24:28Well, you're cool.
24:30I'll obviously grab it.
24:3615 years ago.
24:38Yeah.
24:39Yeah, that's when I did mine.
24:40And part of why he puts on such a song and dance for us
24:44with the Jack Deuce, this and that,
24:46is because when you have a great hand in poker,
24:49you want to be able to put chips in and get called.
24:52Forgive the obvious.
24:54Bles is a master of that in his own right.
24:57A lot of guys would feel like they can't really raise here
25:00because they don't perhaps bluff enough.
25:02But for the Bles, who's so everywhere, Gottlieb's in.
25:07I also didn't have a single drink.
25:09Ah, that's not true.
25:10I had a gin and tonic on the plane ride over.
25:11I stepped outside for a few minutes
25:13with some of the other offerings.
25:14Nice.
25:16Wow.
25:17Just put it away.
25:17All right, literate, yeah.
25:19These guys are half in the bag down there, AJ.
25:21Yeah, they're drinking good stuff, too.
25:22I'm actually starting to feel a little insulted.
25:24No, no.
25:25I genuinely thought the way you said it,
25:27you were like, hey, Jack.
25:28That better not be him.
25:28That's like his third or fourth.
25:30No, no, no, no.
25:31I think he's pouring that one for Gavreel.
25:32Oh, there we go, okay.
25:34Justin's the best.
25:35Chendon.
25:35Hey, listen.
25:36Salud.
25:37Salud.
25:38I really like everyone here.
25:39What does the Irish say?
25:40Sláinte, right?
25:40Sláinte?
25:41Something like that, yeah.
25:42I never can really pronounce it.
25:43No.
25:44I like Salud.
25:45Chendon.
25:4550 dimes.
25:46Hey, we got bricks.
25:47Unless you declared something else, it's 50.
25:49Oh, yeah, that's my point.
25:51Because it makes like a nice camaraderie.
25:55Good villain is tough to come by.
25:57It's an important role.
26:00And for Gottlieb, naturally,
26:02while Blaise is a very difficult opponent to fold to,
26:05we start to consider it.
26:07Unless you're like the few movies
26:09where the guy that you're sure is the star
26:12dies like five minutes in.
26:14Like very few films have done that,
26:15but a couple have.
26:16Drew Barrymore.
26:18Scream.
26:18I was literally thinking that.
26:20I was thinking of, what's his name?
26:22Tommy Lee Jones.
26:23And I want to say it was Executive Decision or something.
26:26Like you're sure he's the star of this.
26:28Or was it Steven Seagal?
26:29But someone, they build him in all the like,
26:32in all the coming attractions and everything as the star.
26:34Oh, he does get away.
26:35Bravo, sir.
26:36What a great fold from Gottlieb.
26:38Yes, sir.
26:42Which Drew Barrymore film were you thinking of for that?
26:43Scream.
26:44Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:45Exactly.
26:47You got the jack?
26:48Yeah, exactly.
26:49Literally got it, yeah.
26:49What?
26:50Promise?
26:51Literally the first scene of the movie.
26:5225 years or whatever.
26:56Jared giving Seth the satisfaction
26:59of knowing he made a good lay down with Queens.
27:08High stakes cash games are just
27:09some of the most fun poker you can have.
27:12You get to play for big, exciting money.
27:14You get to play with big, exciting personalities.
27:17And I've always loved both.
27:19And it just brings the best,
27:21most interesting people together.
27:24Scott and Phil go way back.
27:27Didn't have much time to build on that in this game, but.
27:31And what Scott was saying about high stakes games,
27:34he's played the biggest mix game around
27:37for pretty much since he burst onto the scene.
27:41You've played every single hand.
27:42It's the tightest I've played.
27:44Really, a special player plays all the games very well.
27:47Keeps the game moving.
27:49Hilarious with the table talk.
27:50Keeps the liquor flowing too.
27:52Not always.
27:53I'm just.
27:55Some nights.
27:56Here he is three-bending.
27:579,500 with Queen-Jack offsuit.
27:59You know what they told me that my,
28:00my raise, not VPIT, my raise percentage was 61%.
28:04Kento calls.
28:05In the whole table.
28:08That's right.
28:08Kento going low.
28:09Scotty kind of keeping an eye on the high cards.
28:12I was the biggest winner in the game.
28:13Oh.
28:16Best hand for Kento as it stands.
28:18Yeah.
28:19Must've been a.
28:19It was, it was, you know what I'm talking about,
28:22the Houston club?
28:23We went there.
28:24Yeah, yeah.
28:24It actually, it's really nice.
28:25The food is unbelievable.
28:27The food is good.
28:28The food's incredible.
28:29The people are really friendly.
28:317,000 from Seabird.
28:32I've never been to Houston.
28:33Kento calls immediately.
28:34Played 2550.
28:35Really was an immediate call.
28:37Kento was in the game.
28:38I'm good friends with him.
28:39So like, you know, it was a friendly game.
28:42Um.
28:43Queen for Seabird.
28:45The food is so good in Houston.
28:47It's crazy.
28:50Boom.
28:51Quick check too.
28:52What'd you, what'd you guys play there?
28:54We played there the first.
28:55Yeah, the inaugural one.
28:57Oh you, did you?
28:58Yeah.
28:58Like, D was there.
28:59But imagine Scott feels pretty good about these queens.
29:03He's trying to pick the most annoying size
29:05for Kento to deal with.
29:07I saw Dewey there.
29:08Jungle man was there.
29:08Was he? Yeah.
29:10I don't know.
29:11I lost 100K in two sessions.
29:13Did you really?
29:13Let's see.
29:14And he does a very good job of that
29:17to the tune of seven dimes.
29:18We can see Kento, he certainly doesn't.
29:21100,000?
29:23But like, I don't know.
29:24I just.
29:25But Scotty might have, you know,
29:26this might be the milkman.
29:28I lost like the first three
29:29and I just lost my mind.
29:30Was it a stream game?
29:31Indeed it is.
29:32Yeah.
29:33Yeah, but it was like their very first one, or ones.
29:36The um.
29:37I mean honestly, I had a great time.
29:39You know, with AI becoming so big,
29:41I would love to see a poker game
29:43and have a bubble above the player's head
29:45to show what they're thinking.
29:47Might be coming.
29:48I hope not.
29:49It's definitely coming.
29:50Well, that's true for you.
29:51For viewers, I think that'd be awesome.
29:53Might get them in trouble with their wives,
29:55but it'd be fun to watch.
29:57DeBlaise is actually fantasizing deeply
30:00about Seifer right now.
30:01Can you believe it?
30:02See, I wanna know those things.
30:05Uh-oh.
30:06Uh-oh, we got a double.
30:08You're like Russell Crowe in A Simple Mind,
30:10doing his math problems.
30:13Feeling lucky?
30:13A Beautiful Mind.
30:14A Beautiful Mind.
30:15Not simple at all.
30:16Great movie.
30:17Beautiful Mind.
30:18A Simple Mind.
30:19That's actually a different movie.
30:21It's a different movie completely.
30:22It's a biopic about a boy from Brooklyn
30:25who would grow up
30:28to commentate the greatest poker show of all time.
30:33It is simple.
30:34You know?
30:35It's always a little simple in the head.
30:36Sometimes that's what it takes.
30:37Oh, listen.
30:38I would imagine this one was straddled.
30:40And this is Seifer's 12th best game.
30:42No, like the 17th.
30:4720th.
30:47There's so many games though.
30:48Oh my goodness.
30:50Scotty.
30:5146?
30:52Yeah.
30:54Guys and dolls here.
31:01By the way, it was double straddled.
31:02It was, yeah.
31:04Seth and then Kenta with the double straddle.
31:07And note Seth really trying to trap Kento
31:09with the smooth call.
31:11Kento does defend with the Jack-5.
31:18Yeah, of course.
31:19He's the man.
31:31Fantastic check from Seifer on the flop, AJ.
31:33Yeah.
31:34Jinxed me out.
31:36I think this is my first.
31:38Still in all sorts of trouble.
31:40Note that Blaise is leaning on Gottlieb's shoulder.
31:42Oh my God.
31:43Dang, that's not smart.
31:44You just jinxed yourself there.
31:45Lean on me.
31:46I'm sorry for your loss, Marcus.
31:489,500 from Gottlieb.
31:50Take a sip of whiskey.
31:51Just undo the jinx you just put on me.
31:55I'm gonna put it back on.
31:56Not my first rodeo.
31:58Obviously this is not good for Kento as played.
32:02Well, well.
32:03And of course, no going anywhere for Seifer as well.
32:06Yeah, Seifer's not going anywhere.
32:21Everybody's waiting on the river.
32:22Note that Blaise gesticulated to signify
32:25that he didn't steal a chip.
32:27We know Blaise.
32:29One player to a hand, Blaise.
32:30I saw that.
32:31Come on.
32:33You saw his cards.
32:34He can't be doing that.
32:36He's not.
32:38Okay, he like.
32:42Scott's right.
32:43It's a little strange.
32:44Sweat his hand.
32:45He's leaning on his shoulder.
32:46You know, they're cuddling.
32:47It's a bit much.
32:4920 dimes from Gottlieb.
32:51Perhaps 25.
32:52It is 25.
32:53Wow.
32:54I'm like, my hand's shaking.
32:57I'm like 99% to call.
32:59I'm just taking a second to think.
33:20Okay.
33:20You play great.
33:23That's tough.
33:24Wow, wow.
33:25You play bad.
33:29Wow, Scott's free rolling.
33:31What is he at?
33:3160,000?
33:33I was about to say you play great.
33:35No, you don't.
33:45Because I showed the little profit thing to you.
33:47I did it to myself.
33:48I didn't want to say it.
33:49Though I was going to bring it up in like a minute.
33:51And Queens versus Kings on the double straddle hand
33:54on a spot where like, like.
33:56Yeah.
33:57You just, you just won 60,000.
33:58At least I found the, I found a flop shot.
34:04Seth Slope played Kings.
34:07You play great.
34:08It made for an interesting reveal at the end.
34:11Wow.
34:11You play bad.
34:15Wow.
34:17You know what's great about poker?
34:1915 years ago, that, that hand that just,
34:22we just saw the Queens Kings.
34:2315 years ago,
34:24that hand would have never played out that way.
34:27Ever, ever.
34:28No, it's the opposite.
34:29It always, it always would have,
34:31but no one would have blinked about it.
34:31No, I'm saying the hand, the way it played,
34:33you would have raised, he would have re-raised,
34:34you just would have went all in.
34:36That's what I'm saying.
34:3715 years ago,
34:37no one ever thought of just flatting with two Kings.
34:39Yeah.
34:40But he's in some different world, you know,
34:42where he can do that and win a big pot.
34:44Just trying to mix it up.
34:46Absolutely.
34:48I did earlier.
34:49I flatted with the Queens.
34:49I've, you know, I'm trying to plan my image a little bit.
34:53It's not really true what he's saying.
34:55A little bit.
34:55What he's really doing is trying to continue
34:58to just sort of needle Scott.
35:00Maybe someone, someone over here might take advantage.
35:05Scott, you know what's unbelievable about that hand?
35:09No, I'm just saying.
35:10Oh, yeah, I know.
35:13It's a mental game.
35:14That's for sure.
35:15This is just whatever.
35:16It's the kind of poker.
35:18By the way, good fold from Kento-san right there.
35:20Just sliding the Ace-10.
35:21How about that?
35:23Immediately, three betting seven deuce earlier.
35:25You know, he's kind of everywhere.
35:26He's running out of time.
35:29Bottom two for Scott.
35:30I'm gonna pay you to stay there.
35:31Okay.
35:32Gonzalves still with his Kings.
35:35I talked to her.
35:37He's got friends he doesn't want to disappoint.
35:39That's 2,040, 39 friends.
35:41Nah, he doesn't want to go have fun.
35:43Phil might not play tomorrow if Scott does.
35:48Yeah, Phil's.
35:48That's true.
35:49He's got good foot.
35:51He had to take your pick.
35:53I'd rather play with Phil.
35:54Sheever raises to 7,500.
35:57He's great for the game.
35:59What are the odds?
36:00Yeah, I mean, I think I'm legitimately
36:01like very good for a game.
36:02You're amazing for a poker game,
36:03but you're a world-class player,
36:05but you're still amazing for a game.
36:06Yeah, those two things are really two separate things.
36:09Yeah.
36:12Queen on the turn.
36:22Extremely sneaky from Scott.
36:24This is nice.
36:26Not too many players take these lines
36:28where they go for the double-check raise,
36:31but he did deem this a path
36:33to getting all the chips in on the turn,
36:35and it was quite nice.
36:37And he does.
36:38He's all in.
36:44He's got a good hand.
36:45He's got a good hand.
36:46He's got a good hand.
36:47He's got a good hand.
36:48He's got a good hand.
36:49He's got a good hand.
36:49He's got a good hand.
36:50He's got a good hand.
36:52Marcus hunting the nine.
36:53Here we go.
36:54Queen or king.
36:55That's the C very nice, boys.
36:56The sixes and twos.
36:59Like I said, you are great for a poker game.
37:00This is like a 70%?
37:03It doesn't matter.
37:04100%.
37:06The way Scott ran this summer.
37:08That's the best I've ever heard.
37:14First one goes to Scott.
37:2152, six.
37:22You're already counting?
37:23Yeah.
37:24You have so much confidence.
37:25I just know the runner.
37:27That'll work.
37:2952.
37:3052, six.
37:31I'll break this one down.
37:32So that's 20, 40, 48, 50.
37:35Nothing like getting the brick, AJ.
37:36I love it.
37:37Stop building houses.
37:38Sorry.
37:3952, seven.
37:4040, 50, one, 52, seven.
37:43Good.
37:44Good.
37:44Good.
37:45Good.
37:46Good.
37:47Good.
37:48Good.
37:49Good.
37:49Good.
37:52Nice hand, sir.
37:53Yes.
37:54Seaver's back.
37:55Scott.
37:55Must be really good.
37:57Wow.
37:59Three braces.
38:01Wow.
38:02Two pair of wrist candles.
38:04You know how many all-ins you have to win
38:05to win three braces?
38:06The mush you gave him before, though.
38:07I guess so.
38:07A lot.
38:08Yeah, that's pretty nasty.
38:09But I can't let people know
38:10where my talent actually comes from,
38:12you know what I mean?
38:13I see it.
38:14I see it.
38:15Not only did you see it, but you tried to.
38:15That's how we do it, and how we impart talent.
38:18Yeah, exactly.
38:21He didn't try to slide the mush to you.
38:23It's like those horror movies
38:25where you can send the curse to someone else.
38:27He tried to send it to you,
38:28and you just uno-reversed him.
38:31Time.
38:33I don't think Marcus has won a hand
38:34since you made that comment about it being easy.
38:37I don't.
38:38Seth, why would you bring that up to me, man?
38:39He just lost a big paw.
38:40Let him be.
38:41He can handle it.
38:42At least Scott's done losing.
38:43He can handle it.
38:44Reverse.
38:46As we head to the last hand of the evening.
38:51Hmm.
38:53Yeah, it's just nice.
38:54Oh, it's just like.
38:55Yeah.
38:57You're in 100s, Scott?
38:58Yeah.
38:597-4 offsuit for Kent, though.
39:01He's up.
39:02That's amazing.
39:03He's up, and he goes, wow, that's amazing.
39:06And he races it to 7,400.
39:09He goes, that's amazing.
39:11I'm still amazed how much you saved with the Queens.
39:13Yeah.
39:14Your free roll was there.
39:16Justin calls.
39:17And plus, I would've just honestly
39:18probably picked up and left.
39:21Two more spades.
39:23Look at this.
39:23You can give me that.
39:24Got shot as well.
39:25You guys are even.
39:26We're square.
39:27Check from Justin.
39:28Square.
39:33Here comes Kent, though.
39:36That's 11,200.
39:38At least I didn't dog it and bet the turn.
39:40We have a small figure.
39:40I wanted to stack him on the river.
39:41Jack of clubs.
39:42Yeah.
39:43That's a hell of a check.
39:47I'm not going to do it.
39:48I'm not going to do it.
39:48I'm not going to do it.
39:49Look at this.
39:54Garvey makes it 38,000.
39:57And how does Kento respond to this
39:59after 3-betting the 7-4
40:02and coming with that 11 dimes on the flop?
40:09Something about the weight of a brick.
40:11Yeah.
40:12Just something about it.
40:13Absolutely.
40:16What does a brick weigh?
40:17I will say, though,
40:18Like the purple euros are nice, like the 500 euros,
40:22but like 50,000 in that is, you know, nothing.
40:27No half.
40:29You don't even feel it.
40:29This year, you hit someone with it,
40:32they learn their lesson.
40:33Ha ha ha.
40:34Ha ha ha.
40:45All in.
40:45Oh, okay, good luck gentlemen.
40:47Obviously, Gavin's in.
40:49Okay.
40:50Once or twice, whatever you want.
40:50One time.
40:51One time.
40:52Here we go.
40:53I like this guy, Kenzo.
40:54He's really grown, you know.
40:56Yeah.
40:56That one case part of Justin's stack.
40:58This one there, yeah.
41:00Come on baby, let's get him.
41:01Could be an exciting end.
41:02Oh wow, what a call, what a call.
41:05Wow.
41:06All right.
41:07Sex pants.
41:08We're playing the game.
41:09We're playing some poker here.
41:10Honestly, I'm not even sure if I'm rooting for you anymore.
41:13That's so sick.
41:14That's fair.
41:15I respect you.
41:16I don't even know if I'm rooting for you.
41:17I don't know if I'm rooting for you.
41:18I want the turn to be clean after that.
41:21I don't care.
41:22Don't you worry about the action.
41:22Big, big everywhere.
41:23Don't worry about it.
41:24Big action everywhere.
41:25We need to close on the turn.
41:26That is called the all-in.
41:29We're watching Kenzo's last hand, apparently.
41:31He ripped it, but it was...
41:32I raised, he ripped it in my face.
41:34Yeah.
41:35This is sick.
41:36Come on baby.
41:37235 in the middle.
41:37Put him away.
41:38Put him away.
41:39Put him away.
41:40Let's go.
41:41Unless the river's another six of spades.
41:43There it is.
41:44Oh no, there's another six of spades in the deck.
41:46Done.
41:47That's a sick hand.
41:4969 never fails me.
41:51Oh, easy there.
41:52Easy there, Justin.
41:58Sick.
41:58Oh, Kento.
42:00Good game, Kento.
42:01If he is taking the mic and stuff off,
42:03it was nice to watch you play, sir.
42:05Absolutely was.
42:06We don't need sets around here.
42:07Hope you have a good evening.
42:08No sets and plays around here, Seth.
42:10Well, look.
42:11Kento Mori made some moves during his short stay here,
42:14but his stack finds its way into Justin's paws.
42:20What are you going to do?
42:21That's poker.
42:22Certainly is, AJ.
42:23The Blaise at 334,000 and a biscuit leads everybody.
42:27Gavry's not too far behind.
42:29Justin Young sitting at 116,000.
42:36Next time on High Stakes Poker.
42:38Hey, look who's back.
42:39Rick Solomon warms up pretty quickly.
42:41Well, I'm banshee, banshee.
42:43Vinny keeps finding pairs.
42:46Oh my gosh.
42:48Oh my God, this is really scary.
42:50And a call for a seven-figure pot is made.
42:52Owen.
42:56All right.
42:59What did I miss?
