One of the most interesting hands that took place in this episode was when durrrr picked up pocket aces and four bet preflop against Peter Eastgate and Berry Greenstein. Greenstein was holding Jh-9h and decided to see a flop with durrrr and Eastage folded his Q-8. When the hand flopped 3h-Jd-10c the action went:

durrrr: bets $46,200
Greenstein: raises to $146,200
durrrr: pushes all in
Greenstein: calls all in

Pot is a total of $548,700 and Greenstein and durrr decide to only run it once. The turn was a 9 of spades and the river was a 5 of diamonds, giving Greenstein two pair and a pot worth over a half a million dollars. This is the second largest pot in the history High Stakes Poker on GSN.

A very strange hand played out between Ziigmund and Elezra. From under the gun plus one Eli Elezra raised to $3,500 and only received one call, which was from Ziigmund holding 10c-9s. The flop hit 7h-Qd-Kd and Elezra made a continuation bet of $10,500 and Ziigmund called. The turn brought a 3 of hearts, which gives Elezra a nut flush draw and he came out betting $16,500.

Ziigmund sensed some weakness and raised to $54,000. Elezra makes a crying call hoping to hit a heart. When a 2 of diamonds fell Elezra insta-checks and so did Ziigmund. It was quite surprising that Ziigmund did not fire another barrel and immediately after he checked Elezra says, “you win.” However, his ace high was good enough for a $139,100 pot!
