High Stakes Poker Season 5 Episode 13
The same players as last week, Doyle Brunson, Phil Laak, Eli Elezra, Tom “durrrr” Dwan, Mike Baxter, Dario Minieri, David “Viffer” Peat and Alan Meltzer, returned for episode 13 of High Stakes Poker, which was the season finale. Once again, the blinds were $400-$800, with an ante of $200.

The very first hand saw four players to the flop. After Meltzer called with an unsuited A-8, and Elezra and Brunson followed suit with Q♥-2♥ and A-8 offsuit respectively, Dwan raised to $5,000 with pocket fives. All three players then called, and saw a flop of J-8-A, with two hearts. Dwan checked, and Meltzer bet $20,000 with his two pair. Elezra, who was up about $250,000 from the previous two weeks’ play, called with his flush draw, but Brunson, with the same hand as Meltzer, raised to $95,000, and Meltzer pushed all-in for $172,800! With $309,800 in the pot, Elezra agonized over his decision, going so far as to start to put the money in, but he finally folded, fearing a better flush draw. Brunson called, and Elezra was chagrined to see that BOTH the turn and river were hearts, which would have given him the pot, rather than having Meltzer and Brunson chop it up.
