Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Adrian Mateos raised to 100,000 from the hijack and Danny Tang jammed from the cutoff for 485,000. Alex Anton called from the big blind, which got Mateos out of the way.

Danny Tang: K♦10♦ All in
Alex Anton: K♠K♥

Tang was in terrible shape against Anton's cowboys and needed to find some diamonds to stay alive.

There was no help for Tang on the 4♦8♠8♥10♣6♣ runout, and he became the next casualty of the tournament.

Kent Stephens raised to 80,000 from early position with Joseph Kuether calling on the button and Paul Volpe coming along from the big blind.

The action checked to Kuether again on the 4♥ turn, and he fired 245,000. Volpe folded K♦J♣, but Stephens check-jammed, putting Kuether all in for his remaining 540,000. Kuether made the call.

Joseph Kuether: A♥J♥ All in
Kent Stephens: 5♥5♣

Stephens was ahead with a set of fives against the top pair and flush draw of Kuether.

The dealer burned a card and put out the Q♣ river, and all of Kuether's chips were absorbed into Stephens' stack.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Alan Keating won a record $1.4 million pot last year on High Stakes Poker. But that hand, despite being worth more than most Americans make in a dozen years, pales in comparison to a three-way pot during Season 16.

The first eight of 11 episodes of the new season are available right now exclusively on PokerGO. There are many High Stakes Poker veterans such as Jennifer Tilly, Andrew Robl, and Justin Gavri mixed among recreational players like comedian Kevin Hart. And there's even a recent World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner in the mix — Santhosh Suvarna.

Santhosh took down the $50,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em for $1,992,870 on June 11, and then lost back $1.1 million of it the next day in Hustler Casino Live's Million Dollar Game at the WSOP. But he was in a strong position to win a pot worth far more than his MDG losses during Episode 6 of HSP.
