High Stakes Poker thread (10/8) (possible spoliers in thread to come?)

You need deep-pocketed amateurs to make a game.
Most of the people on the show don't come on to try and grind out 25k.
For two seasons Farha and Elezra have played comical hands as a running joke. This season Elezra stopped and Farha jacked up the silliness. Maybe Baxter thought he could get them both out.
In the end he could afford it. He did leave in pain. Only he knows if the rush was worth it.
Farha doesn't seem to be playing his own money.
Eli learned a lesson later. Running it twice isn't for everyone.
When the buy-in goes to a minimum of 500k, I think the game will change a little
