Justin Gavri's lengthy run of bad luck on High Stakes Pokeris now officially over after the high roller crushed it again during Monday's 11th episode of Season 14 on PokerGO.
Gavri, who had replaced Daniel Negreanu as the unluckiest player in High Stakes Pokerhistory, has been on a tear in recent weeks. He was joined in the $500/$1,000 game by the same cast of characters that appeared on last week's show. Alan Keating and Rick Salomon both began play with well over $1 million. Vinny Lingham, Nikhil "Nik Airball" Arcot, Gavri and Peter Wang went to battle with six-figure stacks.
| Player | Chip Stack |
|---|---|
| Alan Keating | $1,400,000 |
| Rick Salomon | $1,300,000 |
| Justin Gavri | $683,000 |
| Vinny Lingham | $552,000 |
| Nik Airball | $435,000 |
| Peter Wang | $300,000 |
Last week's episode featured the largest pot in High Stakes Poker history, with Keating taking it down for over $1.4 million. There would be no pot during Episode 11 that would even come close to matching that pot size. But there were a number of juicy hands, one of which occurred right off the bat.
The first pot of the day involved some mediocre hands playing aggressively. Lingham limped for $1,000 with A♦9♦before Gavri, on the button with 9♥6♣, raised to $4,000. Peter had 8♦5♦in the big blind and three-bet to $20,000, only receiving a call from Lingham.
The flop came out 9♠J♦Q♦, giving both players a flush draw, but it left Peter drawing thin. Peter's $30,000 wager earned a call before the 3♠fell on the turn, no help to either player. Peter went for a massive bet of $125,000, enough to convince the best hand to fold.
Peter would pick up pocket aces on the next hand and face a four-bet to $65,000 from Nik Airball, who was holding ace-queen. An all in bet would ensue, enough to force Airball to get rid of his cards without seeing a flop.
Peter's hot start stalled in a $311,500 pot against Keating, who had 6♦6♣on a board of 2♣2♦7♠9♣10♦. That was a stronger hand than ace-high, and both players checked the river, and the small pair took down the 300 big blind pot.
Salomon, who was in for a $4,000 straddle with 9♦9♣, then decided it was his time to get some money from Peter's stack. Gavri was the initial raiser to $12,000 with A♣J♦, but Peter three-bet to $35,000 with A♥Q♠. All that did was encourage Salomon to move all in, which forced Gavri's hand into the muck.
Peter, however, doesn't like to fold, especially with a strong hand such as ace-queen. He called off for $218,000 total, creating a pot of $451,000. Two boards were to come, and the first showed 6♥8♠K♦J♥8♥, clean for the pocket nines. The second board went K♥4♠9♠4♣4♦, which granted Salomon the rights to the entire pot. Peter, who lost the largest pot ever on High Stakes Pokerlast week, bought back into the game hoping for his luck to turn around.
Midway through the episode, Gavri finally picked up a big hand — K♥K♣— in the first of two straddle positions. Lingham limped on the button with Q♥J♦. Salomon then raised his A♠Q♦to $25,000 from the small blind.
Gavri made it $85,000 to go, only getting called by Salomon. The flop came out 2♣J♥10♠. Salomon, on a gutshot straight draw, check-called a $100,000 wager before the 6♥appeared on the turn. There would be no check-call this time as Gavri's $275,000 induced a fold.
Gavri would give some chips back with 10-high when Keating called off a $65,000 bet on the river with ace-high. But Gavri would soon make up for that loss, and then some.
He limped from the small blind with 10♣9♥before Peter raised to $11,000 from the big blind with A♥A♦. Nik Airball, the straddler, called with 6♥6♣.
The flop showed 9♦J♦5♦, close to perfection for Peter, who had an over pair and the nut flush draw to boot. He bet $15,000 and earned a call only from Gavri, who flopped middle pair, a hand that would drastically improve on the 9♠turn. He check-called a bet of $45,000 with trips, and would avoid the flush on the 4♥river. Gavri would check-call a $90,000 bet to take down a $334,000 pot on a bad beat.
The episode concluded with Gavri holding A♦10♦and dodging Lingham's nut flush draw and Peter's open-ended straight draw on a board of 10♠3♦2♠7♣2♦to win a $518,000 pot.
"Beautiful way to close. He had a huge night," High Stakes Pokercommentator Nick Schulman said of Gavri.
Gavri's stack had surpassed $1.1 million when the episode wrapped. Episode 12 airs next Monday at 5 p.m. CT on PokerGO with mostly the same players in action.
