Phil Hellmuth left the game early during Episode 7 last week on High Stakes Pokerafter running into some coolers. The "Poker Brat" didn't return on Monday, but fellow poker legend Scott Seiver did, and he made a sneaky play in a six-figure pot.

The $200/$400 no-limit hold'em cash game is available on PokerGO, and it features some interesting hands such as one played between Seiver and Markus Gonsalves. Those two skilled professionals were joined in the game by Kento Mori, Justin Gavri, Justin Young, Jared Bleznick, and Seth Gottlieb. Young, co-host of the Table 1 Podcast, took Hellmuth's seat in the game.

Gavri Finally Gets Lucky

Gavri has run into more bad beats and coolers than we can count during his few seasons on High Stakes Poker. But he finally had a bad beat go his way this week.

The hand began with the previously unlucky player raising to $1,000, only to run into the K♠K♦Gonsalves had in the small blind. A standard three-bet to $5,400 and call ensued, followed by the 9♠6♥5♥flop. Pocket kings bet $6,500 and received a call before the 9♦on the turn cracked that big pocket pair.

Gonsalves checked, and then Gavri, who turned trips, bet $24,000. The over pair made the call, and the 7♣on the river was somewhat of help to Gonsalves as it brought four to a flush on the board. But the undeterred Gavri wagered another $50,000. His opponent tanked for a bit before correctly folding to avoid an even costlier bad beat. Stack sizes were then displayed on the PokerGO screen, and they were as follows after the first hand:

Player	Chip Stack
Jared Bleznick	$334,600
Markus Gonsalves	$210,200
Kento Mori	$195,700
Justin Gavri	$163,300
Seth Gottlieb	$127,000
Scott Seiver	$111,200
Justin Young	$110,000

Poker Hand of the Day

Seiver is one of the most skilled players in cash games and tournaments, as evidenced by his three World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets last summer to win Player of the Year. The 2025 Poker Hall of Fame candidate made a tricky play against a tough opponent during Episode 8.

Action began with Gonsalves raising to $2,000 with K♦K♣. Young called from the small blind with A♦5♦, as did Seiver, who was in the straddle with 6♠2♠. The flop came out 2♥6♥9♣, another potential bad beat with kings for Gonsalves. Following two checks, Gonsalves bet $2,000, which forced Young to fold. But Seiver, who flopped two pair, tossed in a raise to $7,500.

Gonsalves called to see the Q♣turn over. Seiver would go for the double check-raise as his opponent bet $20,000 and then he went all in for $52,700. There was too much in the pot for pocket kings to fold. Both players agreed to run the river twice, and neither card changed the outcome, which meant the seven-time WSOP bracelet winner scooped the entire $127,000 pot.

More Good Fortune for Gavri

For the first time in his High Stakes Pokercareer, Gavri wasn't on the short end of the bad beat stick. We've already mentioned one bad beat he won during Episode 8, and the show ended with him taking down one more.

Preflop action in the straddled pot started with a Gavri raise to $2,000 with 9♠6♠. Kento re-raised it up to $7,400 on the button with the monster 7♠4♥hand. The original raiser called before the flop showed 7♦5♠10♠, both players getting a piece. Kento, following a check, bet $11,000 with middle pair. Gavri then popped it to $38,000 with a flush draw, to which his opponent moved all in for $109,000.

Gavri, who hasn't hit many of his draws in big pots during his High Stakes Pokercareer, called the raise, creating a pot of $235,000. The Q♠on the turn sealed the hand for Gavri, who hit his flush to take down the pot. There would be no second run-out as the players opted for just one river card.

High Stakes Pokerwill return with Episode 9 next Monday at 5 p.m. PT on PokerGO.
