Line-up of High Stakes Poker Season 11 Episode 2:

Action player Eric Persson enters the game! Apart from that, they continue with the same line-up as in High Stakes Poker Season 11 Episode 1:

The above seven players are playing the highest stakes in High Stakes Poker history with blinds of $1,000/$2,000/$4,000 and a minimum buy-in of $500,000!

A $1,047,000 Pot to get things started

How huge the action in High Stakes Poker Season 11 is, shows the fact that the first pot shown on Episode 1 is over $1 Million!

The $8,000 double straddle is on and JRB raises from the cut-off with Q♠Q♥ to $20,000. Charles Yu picks up A♦K♥ right behind him and 3-bets to $60,000.

Jean-Robert is covering Yu and makes a huge 4-bet to $500,000 essentially putting Yu All-in. Charles goes All-In for $15k more and just like that we have our first seven-figure pot worth $1,032,000.

As it is a classic coin flip they quickly agree to Run It Twice! Pot Size: $1,032,000

  • First Runout: 8♠10♥8♥10♠5♠ secures JRB half of the pot.
  • Second Runout: Everything looks good for JRB on a 6493♦ board, but the river 8♦ is another Diamond and they chop this huge pot.
