The same players return from last week to finish off season 5 of High Stakes Poker as episode 13 is the finale of this season. The blinds remain $400/$800, with an ante of $200 and is an 8 handed game that seats David Peat, Mike Baxter, Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan, Dario Minieri, Phil Laak, Alan Meltzer, Doyle Bruson, and Eli Elezra. If you’re not familiar with any of the players, please visit our High Stakes Poker season 5 line up page where you can find bio’s of each poker player.

There was 11 hands in this episode with several pots over $200,000 and the final pot at the end of the episode was worth over $500,000. It’s also interesting to note that Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan left a winner from every group he played with and also won the no deal award when he did not want to make a deal with Barry Greenstein during the biggest hand in history of poker on television.
