High Stakes Poker Season 6 information
High Stakes Poker Season 6 begins on February 14th, this year they have added PokerStars as a title sponsor which presumably would mean that the videos will be made available online. We shall see. Expect a little different format with Gabe Kaplan announcing alone and Kara Scott doing player interviews while play is happening. Sadly there will be no A.J. Benza this year.
High Stakes Poker Season 5 Episode 13
Episode 13 features a good combination of entertaining players combined with decent pots. The difference between the first group of players and this group is that many of the bigger pots were played with Barry Greenstein in them which means that there is a no "deal it twice" rule. Which made for much bigger pots and likely the biggest pots we will ever see on High Stakes Poker. Last weeks show had two deal it twice opportunities, in at least one case Dario won both sides for a sweep against Doyle Brunson. All of the 13 episodes of High Stakes Poker Season 5 can be found here.

All thirteen episodes of High Stakes Poker Season 5
It is possible that no group on High Stakes Poker will ever outperform the first series of players. The second series of players were almost the opposite. The third group (the one we are on now) seems to be a good mix of both. David "Viffer" Peat and Dario Minieri have so far brought a freshness to the table that is nice, which I think is a lesson to the producers of the show, bring in new people. Episode 12 means there are only a few shows left.
High Stakes Poker Season 5 Episode 12
High Stakes Poker season 5 Episode 11
Episode 11 will bring a new lineup and we will get the videos up as soon as they appear online. Use the link at the top of the thread to find Episode 11.
High Stakes Poker Season 5, Episode 10
Episode 10 marked the end of a lackluster session where a lot of fans complained about how little decent poker was actually played. Episode 1 through 6 were some of the best High Stakes Poker shows ever so it was not surprising that people might be a bit disappointed. After putting up the full episode GSN eventually changed their mind and pulled it from youtube. You can however still watch the shows by using the link listed above.
High Stakes Poker Season 5, Episode 9
This episode was updated accidentally by GSN and has been up and down more than a roller coaster. It features the re-appearance of Tom Dwan. The funniest moment of the show comes when Howard Lederer expects to chop a pot with Durrrr only to find that he has a very weird pair. Daniel Negreanu then says to a stunned Howard "you got durrrr'ed" it is laugh out loud funny. This is also the episode where Patrik Antonius makes an absolutely sick call against Phil Laak that has been a preview for the series for months. Once again you will need to use the link above to view week nine. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause anyone looking for these shows. It is very frustrating given that all of this videos were up on youtube at one point.
High Stakes Poker Season 5, Episode 8
High Stakes Poker Season 5 Episode 8 is the Antonio "push up's" episode. They also teased us last week with a blow up between Daniel Negreanu and Howard Lederer my guess is it will not deliver but Daniel does have a way of getting carried away when things get under his skin.
Once again this week we will put the episodes up as soon as they come online. GSN played nice last week so let's make sure to tune in at 9pm (8 central). This season so far has been full of action with the blinds being double the previous show (this season the blinds are 400-800). While there are many familiar faces thus far the clear leader of the play has been online superstar Tom "Durrrr" Dwan. Week fours show saw Tom with a big lead on Barry Greenstein with Aces only to have Barry catch up to him hitting two pair for the biggest pot of the season (over 500k).
High Stakes Poker Season 5, episode 7
Week 7 brings Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Laak to the table. Say what you want about their antics, it keeps the show fresh, the first segments got a little stale, the poker play was phenomenal at times put only serious poker players enjoy that. The casual player likes the interplay between those two and the rest of the table.
High Stakes Poker Season 5, episode 6
High Stakes Poker Season 5 episode 6 will likely go down as the best High Stakes Poker episode ever. GSN decided to change the way they did things this year choosing to keep the players together in the same groups, many people complained about this and up until this week it looked like a flawed decision. That was until last night. I think most people recognize that the show is filmed over the course of a couple of hours but it is hard to remember what happened in the first episode and how that compares to say the sixth one. The 920k pot between Barry Greenstein and Tom Dwan is the stuff of legend. At least three players at the table suffered significant losses and it weighed on their faces as the show went on. Week six is easily the most popular episode EVER on high stakes poker.
High Stakes Poker Season 5, episode 5
The show was a bit of a sleeper but Daniel Negreanu goes a bit "tilty". While Daniel has been very unlucky on High Stakes Poker's in seasons past this year he is just playing bad. GSN initially put all of these shows up in their entirety on youtube and since has taken all of them down, I am going to leave up the snippets from each week but to view them use the link at the top of the page or the link from week six. If the shows become available online sometime in the future I will fix this thread. Sorry for the hassle.
High Stakes Poker Season 5, episode 4
This is the show mentioned above where Barry holds Jh and 9h and manages to get it all in with top pair against Dwan's Aces.
High Stakes Poker Season 5, episode 3
This show basically was the unravelling of Daniel Negreanu, "Kid Poker" found himself zigging when he should have been zagging all night. Eventually Daniel runs into quads, Daniel previously lost too quads against Gus Hansen when Gus caught up to his full house, while this was not near as big of a bad beat David Benyamine rakes in the enormous pot. Once again extending Daniel's unlucky streak on HSP.
High Stakes Poker Season 5, episode 2
Week two featured a hand that will not soon be forgotten between Tom Dwan, Peter Eastgate and Barry Greenstein. It is the last hand of the night but you will want to continue to watch. This hand seemingly set up some hands in future shows.
High Stakes Poker Season 5, episode 1
This show capped off the season that was much anticipated. While High Stakes Poker has long been the most popular show on GSN they experimented briefly with the World Poker Tour causing a year and a half hiatus. This show is the beginning of the coming out party for Tom Dwan. While Dwan is a relative unknown to poker fans he is very well known amongst online poker fans. Durrrr, is he is known online, is one of the biggest winners of the "young guns" and his unorthodox style clearly has the table baffled.
I think David Negreanu is extremely overated. He plays idiotic hands that have no chance of winning. Once he called a big raise by Doyle with nothing and eventually succumbed.
hey guys, i;m trying to watch episode 6 but it says its a private video, am i doing something wrong?
it is indeed
Does anyone know if ep13 is the last ep for season 5?
When i wrote the earlier comments, I didnt watch all of Episode 13. Now that i have seen it all... I was right about Meltzer- He imploded!! LOL! Mineri busted. Dwan felt sick after Brunson check called him to river. Peat was this season's luck box. Baxter should play at lower limits... Period!
You got to be outta of your freakn mind to think Viffer is playing great poker. They are mixing it up and I will agree with that. But they are playing like a 1-2 no limit game. Meltzer (i dont know what he is doing- just a bad accident waiting to happen) Phil Laak is well ??? LOL! Peat is one of those players i see all the time in 1-2 no limit game. Just asking for it... i see the writing on the wall.
I really like the way viffer plays an carrie himelf when he in a hand.
Yeah, even though Phil is a friend it is time for him to go. Besides David Peat is similar and he plays better. I don't know what was Phil's story but he did not play particularly well.
annnnnnnd here's the link: http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://pokertube.com/Movies.aspx?movie=10047&KeyID=1&title=High_Stakes_Poker_S05_Ep13_1_4
Up on pokertube (and anonymoused for US viewers!)
Man Beanie, you must have been in a hurry when you typed your notes for episode 12 -- this one had me in stitches. When Viffer misses his flush draw the pain you can see in his face is palpable. I like Phil, but he pretty much played like a little girl the whole game, especially throwing the brick in with those aces. Wtf was that? Watching Baxter call off his $30k on the end with Ace high against durrrr was a nice way to end the show. Yummy just like a good dessert should be. My opinion, I think a couple of these players are overextended and I think one of them is heavily backed and just happy to still be getting some camera time.
What happened to episode 11??? It looks like it has been removed from YouTube. Think it will be back up anytime soon?
2, 4 and 5 should be fixed now. If you guys see any errors just let me know, this is essentially just my blog and it is hard to always see when something is wrong. Thanks for the help.
How do I get these on my site?
I will look into it later in the week.
Hi, Part 2,4,5 is not working. Please fix. Thank You
Truly sick four-bet by Durr with 8-6off. d For $65,000 no less! I think Durr is more sick a player seen on HSP than Mike Matusow!
when is episode 10 comming out?
This is an actual cash game, trust me getting people thinking that you are drunk or just looking to have a good time is indeed good poker strategy. Watch show 9, it was a lot better poker. The call by Antonius against Laak was ill on many levels.
Season 5, Episode 8 we wanted to watch professional poker and not some inmature kindergarten kids talking about movies and doing pushups. What is that all about? That much money on the table tells me they don't care about concentrating on what could be real poker strategy and would rather play other games. If that is what they want then they need to be playing somewhere else. Come on producers, get some real professionals in this high states game. Totally understand Daniel Negraneau's frustation even though Howard did not flash the cards on purpose. Concentration is the name of the game.
I agree with you, I didn't like it initially because the old format was so good but this has grown on me and I am sure the players like it more.
I feel keeping the same players in groups is an awesome idea. 1.Because the audience sees how plays from previous hands enter on going hands. 2.Players ego starts to come through and bad blood rages on. Finally an added bonus, feuds just feuds on and pots gets bigger and bigger! Honestly, I just want to see people lose large amounts of money, it makes me happy for some odd reason.
Thanks for the RS link!
just so everyone knows occasionally someone will post something like free-poker-moneys, it is a known virus site click links at your own risk.
figured they would at some point
lol looks like they took 9 off i saw it early this morning they must have caught it
Thanks, it works, but I had to download an flv player.
linky link. shhhhh! http://rs602.rapidshare.com/files/223629546/HSPS59.flv
hey guys, how can i watch episode 9 then? it's a private video? thanks
who is sending the video for ep. 9?
when ? is it up yet
It looked like 80 bucks. Those are 5 dollar chips.
shit how much negurano tip the dealer on episode 6
What happened to the 4th part? I remember watching a hand before with Lederer's TsTx getting 3-bet bluffed by Hachem's JJ on a four-spade turn...
Pokertube does have it up if you don't have a US IP. I would expect GSN to have it up shortly. I fell asleep soon after the episode started. I wouldn't click any link in the comments, some users have reported that they go to "bad" pages. Anyway, the show itself was relatively uneventful as some have mentioned. I would expect the embeds to show up today at some point or if you absolutely positively need to see you might want to consider pokerbay.org as long as you understand the risks with torrents.
dont let pokertube be faster then you, come on load it up...
come on give me hsp season 7 noooooooow....
I want my shot of HSP. Cannot wait. I need it. I've already rolled up the sleeve. Give it too me...give it to me NOW....NOW!!! Where is it? Where? When does it come?...Where can I find it? I need my shot.
Well..they are playing PRETTY loose. No...they are playing like MANIACS..they play LOOSE. Just like maniacs
at what time is episode 7 comin?
what time is it up load ep7
Dwan plays recklessly, but he is unbelievable at not only reading his oppenent, but being able to understand what makes his opponents tick. When he won the pot with Q 10, when Greenstein had aces and Eastgate had 4 2, he understood that Eastgates duece was low enough to muck to a big raise, representing A 2 or otherwise. His timing seems unbelievable on HSP, but if you watch him on FTP when he plays no limit holdem, he has tremendous swings. Still, you are right, he is an unbeliveable cash game player.
agreed
As far as whether durrrr is considerably better than anyone else, I think the gap between him and any other player at the table is larger than any other skill gap at the table. There's a reason why he has to give odds in order to get any action heads up, and even when giving 3:1 odds, he gets action only from the best players in the world. To be sure, he has played particularly well so far and he has had severe downswings in the past, but I don't think anyone can really argue with him being the best player at that table by far, and one of the top 3-4 cash game players in the world, if not the absolute best.
I think he leaves for short bit. The must have figured out that he is the show.
As usual: http://spritpot.blogspot.com/2009/04/high-stakes-poker-recap-s5ep06.html Is durrrr staying in for all the eps? I didn't see him on that quick shot of the new players for next time, and Negreanu WAS in the shot, implying that maybe that included all the players that will be there next time. I hope things turn around a bit for Daniel, starting to feel bad for him.
Barry handled it with class, simply asking "how much" and grinding his teeth. He knew it was a flip and took it, can you imagine Phil H for this big a pot? That's a poker moment we still need to see.
was wondering that myself. I doubt it was Daniel though.
After Daniel got felted and quit there was a commercial. When they came back Doyle Brunson just called someone a big baby. Who was he talking about?
I agree Beanie, and I do the exact same thing to my wife :) At the start of the season I would have said that Daniel was by far the best player their, But he has played like he's on tilt for the last 3 ep's. Derr is killing it!!
let me put it a different way, while going through the show I will often predict bet sizing and such to show off to my wife. With Dwan I am never right, almost everyone else I am close to spot on, he is very unorthodox for those limits.
I don't think it's accurate to say durrr is "considerably better" than anyone at the table, but that's just my opinion I guess.
no reason for torrents at this point but last week the link was active and GSN disabled it. If that happens again just post a comment and we will get another link up. Thanks
Im dl-ing using the torrent link. Very easy! Just got Utorrent and the torrent file let the program thru my firewall and its going fine!! Lots of hosts to dl off
ah, you are correct, I will make that change in the morning.
on summary about season 5 ep 3 it says Daniel lost again to quads and he had lost previously to Gus Hansen with quad v quads not true. Daniel had full house and gus had 4 5's good reading otherwise. Looking forward to ep 6
Come on! we want that episode, i wanna see the biggest pot so far!
I doubt GSN is going to put it up, pokerbay will likely be the first place it shows up unless someone can get a couple episodes by the screeners at youtube. I don't really know why someone just doesn't upload them to a site like vimeo.com.
should we expect another today?
Thanks so much for posting these! You actually have them up before GSN does -- wth?!? I wish GSN would just offer a season pass on iTunes. It really annoys me that it's on tonite, but my cableless self will not get to watch it until Tuesday. grrr..
yes there will be more players, though I don't think Hellmuth is one (someone please correct me if I am wrong). Hellmuth is a huge cash game fish and he knows it. He talks a big game and he has enough money to show up in some really big games but his tilt factor is too high to be a consistent winner. The way they are doing it this year kind of blows. They should be moving players in and out. I think I heard somewhere that Dwan is the only one that appears in all episodes.
I am eagerly awaiting episode 6. p.s: Are these the only players that will be featured all-season, or will Hellmuth or other notable pros show-up?
9pm EST on Sunday nights, might be different for west coast, not entirely sure. Definitely not tonight though. I have a feeling that the vids won't show up online until Monday morning. They usually show up on pokerbay fairly soon but torrents are so unsafe.
When will we be seeing episode 6? It was supposed to have aired just earlier today, right?
We have a few tricks up our sleeves too;-) The content will be shown, for us to link to youtube is actually kind of a big deal. We can figure out ways to get it other places and then they won't have their exclusivity. They will figure that out eventually.
I had to use a link. It is in the article but here it is as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybIneWGrTEg I don't think GSN realizes that people want the embed.
I don't see any episode 5...
Basically GSN is being a little bitch. They can't figure out if they want to piss off people or not. Either way I will figure out a way to get the content up, right now I have 3/4 up. Will fix the rest tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This is a conspirasy theory. D. Neg played like the biggest fish you would ever see in High Stakes Poker Season 5. Now one cannot find out how silly he played because all are deleted. Censorship is a good thing, no?
