Jennifer Tilly and Andrew Robl have been ever-present on High Stakes Poker in recent episodes, and they clashed in a huge pot last night.
Tilly started episode 4 of the new series with a smallish stack of $107K, before spinning it up and then flopping a full house and stacking Justin Gavri.
She then got her new $336K stack involved in a massive hand with Robl.
Tilly raised the straddled pot to $10K with 
and Robl called with 
. Brandon Steven and Sameh Elamawy also called with 
and 
respectively to take even more diamonds out of the equation for Robl.
It looked like he wouldn't need them, with the 
flop putting Tilly's stack in big jeopardy. "Oh boy," Nick Schulman said on comms, "this is bad for Tilly."
The action checked to Tilly and she bet $20K, folding out everyone but Robl.
And then the tables turned. The 
dropped on the turn, giving her a 98% lock on the hand. Could she get the rest of Robl's money?
Can Robl find the fold?
Robl bet $40K and Tilly called to the river, which wasn't the remaining ten in the deck but the 
. "This is very bad for Mr. Robl," said Schulman. Robl bet $60K and Tilly moved in for the rest of Robl's stack.
If anyone could find a fold, it's Robl. And he started talking through his thought process.
It started well. "Do you have pocket queens, Jen?" asked Robl. Tilly looked down at her chips and didn't say a word. "Pocket queens or you're bluffing. It's better if you're bluffing," Robl said with a smile. "I've got a big hand, three tens." Tilly remained impassive.
"If I guess one of your cards will you show me?" he asked, desperate to eek out anything that would give him a steer on what to do. The trouble is, he'd already guessed both of her cards and Tilly knew staying still was the only thing she could do.
Robl took a sip of water and said "I'm probably beat but don't know if I can fold," before putting a stack of cash in the middle for the call.
"Queens," said Tilly, realizing Robl's worst fears. "Nice hand, Jen," said the unflappable Robl before reloading for a cool half million.
Robl and Tilly will fight on in the upcoming episode of High Stakes Poker, airing next Monday evening at 8pm ET exclusively on PokerGO.
