Episode 5

The 12th season of High Stakes Poker is here, and it opens with a mix of new faces and old. Andrew Robl, Jean-Robert Bellande, and Jennifer Tilly headline the $200/$400 No-Limit Hold'em cash game while Santhosh Suvarna, Justin Gavri, Vivian Yang, Andrew Pacheco, and Andrew Sasson join the mix to open Season 12.

Episode 1

The double straddle is on to begin this episode of High Stakes Poker, and it is Santhosh Suvarna who starts on fire by winning a pot with ace-king and then making two flushes. Jennifer Tilly runs into two full houses before Justin Gavri gets it in twice with a suited ace and survives. The biggest pots come at the expense of Andrew Sasson as he is dealt a cooler when he flops a set against Andrew Pacheco, and it's the second-best hand. Sasson then strikes his gin card on the river in a pot against Andrew Robl, but his hand is second best again. Pacheco ends the final episode with this lineup by flopping a monster against Tilly.

Episode 2

It's a brand-new lineup on this episode of High Stakes Poker with Andrew Robl leading the likes of Jean-Robert Bellande, Santhosh Suvarna, Justin Gavri, and Vivian Yang back to the table. Nik Airball and Chino Rheem make their season debut, while Phil Laak returns to High Stakes Poker for the first time in nearly 13 years!

Episode 3

Justin Gavri heads towards the exit early on this episode of High Stakes Poker after bricking one of the biggest draws in poker. The run good of Andrew Robl continues as he sends Chino Rheem reaching for chips before hitting a few good cards to make a straight and then a flush. Nik Airball begins to turn his luck around as he hits two big river cards against Rheem and Santhosh Suvarna, while Vivian Yang applies some pressure with a big bluff.

Episode 4

That cash looks so sweet on this episode of High Stakes Poker as the bricks of cash on the table enter the middle on several occasions. Brandon Adams returns to High Stakes Poker since Season 8 and picks off two big pots from Chino Rheem and Andrew Robl. It's not the night for Santhosh Suvarna as he folds the best hand to a flop shove before being coolered by Jean-Robert Bellande. Suvarna then loses a three-way all-in pot after running it twice before Nik Airball finishes him off with a set.

It is all action for Nik Airball on this episode of High Stakes Poker as he trips up Andrew Robl and then turns a flush. Santhosh Suvarna and Brandon Adams each make straights and follow that by being dealt some premium pocket pairs. Suvarna hits a big river on Airball before sending Stanley Tang to the rebuy cage. Charles Yu joins in the action late and is immediately put to the test by Adams.

This episode of High Stakes Poker starts horribly for Nik Airball as he bluffs into Charles Yu and then pays him off when he turns a full house. However, Airball's night eventually turns as a bluff works against Stanley Tang, and then he outkicks Santhosh Suvarna. Airball then finds pocket aces and Justin Gavri's night comes to an end. The largest pot of the season so far plays out between Andrew Robl and Brandon Adams when both players go runner-runner to make a straight, and a nearly $800k pot is the result.

Episode 8

It's a new night and a brand-new episode of High Stakes Poker, but the boys are all back to play $1,000/$2,000 No-Limit Hold'em. Santhosh Suvarna, Charles Yu, Stanley Tang, Nik Airball, Brandon Adams, and Andrew Robl all sit down with $500,000. Robl starts off hot with a few big hands before he cuts down pocket aces in a $500k pot. Suvarna wins possibly the biggest pot of the season, while Robl rivers Adams and then freerolls Airball when they both have a straight. The episode closes with a cooler for Stanley Tang against Charles Yu in a pot that eclipses $630k.

Episode 9

It's a night of bluffs on this episode of High Stakes Poker as Nik Airball, Charles Yu, and Stanley Tang get one past their opponents. Things don't fall Andrew Robl's way, as he is outdrawn and then coolered by Tang before he has Santhosh Suvarna hit a runner-runner flush. Brandon Adams' night isn't much better either, and he runs it twice on his two all-in pots with the best hand and is unable to scoop.

Episode 10

It's a better start to this episode of High Stakes Poker for Brandon Adams, as he makes back-to-back straights and then a full house. Santhosh Suvarna cracks Stanley Tang's pocket kings. Adams's run of hot cards ends in a cooler when his trips are second-best to Tang's straight flush before Nik Airball and Charles Yu pick up some pots to close out the penultimate episode of the season.

Episode 11

The Season 12 finale of High Stakes Poker opens with Santhosh Suvarna and Charles Yu nursing chip stacks over $1,000,000. Nik Airball and Stanley Tang play a huge pot that gets chopped before Airball flops a set of sevens and then sixes. Unfortunately for Airball, his set of sixes goes into the muck once Charles Yu turns up the heat. The season finale concludes with big pocket pairs, an outdraw, and then one last suckout on the river.
