High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)
 

Tonight's the first of 7 weeks of poker that many have been waiting for, a 500k min buyin table which will start with these players:

Doyle Brunson
Antonio Esfandiari
Jamie Gold
Sammy Farha
Barry Greenstein
Patrik Antonius
David Benyamine
Guy Laliberte

Since the interest for this event has been large, I would hope that we all could attempt to keep things about the broadcast to this thread only. Another note worth mentioning, if you know of any streams of the broadcast that you're doing or know of someone doing said streams, please keep it to yourself. Consider this your warning because I don't want to spend all night banning people who don't pay attention. Also, to those that aren't able to watch because you're not in the Eastern time zone or are Tivoing or watching on some other source and don't want to see what happened, expect people to make posts in this thread about events that are happening during the show, so you're also warned. For those asking about when the show will be up in the various places one can see the show, expect it to be sometime early Tuesday morning. From those that were at the taping, they said it was some of the best poker ever broadcast, hopefully those words will ring true.

My predictions- Sammy to be the big winnar in the game

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)
 

Can't wait to see this. Sucks that I don't have GSN so I have to wait until tomorrow morning to watch it online. Blah.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)
 

Anyone know how much each person bought in for? Or will Gabe and AJ tell us during the broadcast?

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)
 

i think i heard PA buys in for a cool million

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)
 

Antonius bought in for a cool million, everyone else was at 500k.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)

running lol quads...what possibilities, would've been such an insane hand

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)
 

Wow..imagine if Dr. Benyamine called on that flop? Quads against FH with top set.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)

If he wants to be the best bluffer, he has to bluff a lot imo.

if it works 1/3 of the times as betting 36K it's the same. I guess he bet 12K because his hand had no showdown value and didn't want to lose to another hand without showdown value

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)
 

Doyle is giving the appearance of a nut-peddler in this episode.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)
 

Is that Cory Carroll in the WPT ads?

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)
 

The feel of this show is much different. With 400+ big blind (300-600-1200) starting stacks, there's a lot more pre-flop limping. Perhaps the players are just trying to get a feel for how play is going to be on the show.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)
 

Nice bluff against "the best bluffer in the world."

the question is, did they edit that to seem that way, or will it actually happen? iirc, they have edited those end of episode teasers to tease events that don't really happen.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)
 

I think PA gets a lot richer next episode ...

Gold was practically giving away money this episode so it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't an edit

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)
 

Awesome episode. This is what the series needed desperately. Good to see Sammy playing for real this time around. Can't wait for next weeks episode!
