Amidst the holiday festivities, PokerGO released the entirety of Season 15 of High Stakes Poker – offering fans of the show a chance to watch the new episodes at their leisure. Superstar comedian Kevin Hart brought the celebrity shine to the PokerGO Studio, kicking off the new season in a $500/$1,000 game alongside Andrew Robl, Sam 'Senor Tilt' Kiki, Sameh Elamawy, Justin Gavri, Darin Feinstein, Kirk Brown, and Stanley Tang.
While the action throughout the first few episodes came thick and fast, it wasn't until Episode 5 that the real fireworks emerged as Hart and Robl collided in a pot that neared the seven-figure mark.
Robl risks it all with combo draw
With the $4,000 double straddle in play, the action folded around to Robl in the small blind and he opted to raise to $15,000 with and roughly $1.2M in his stack. Hart looked down at
in the big blind and made the call off of a stack of $440K. Elamawy returned his rags to the dealer from the single straddle, but Gavri came along with
from the double straddle.
The flop all but guaranteed action as Hart connected with a well-disguised middle set and Robl picked up a flush draw. With two opponents to act behind, Robl played it safe with a check and Hart seized the betting lead – firing $35,000 into the $48,000 pot. Gavri relinquished his bottom pair, but Robl wasn't ready to wave the white flag just yet and made the call to bring the pot to $118,000.
