Team PokerStars Pros Vanessa Selbst and Barry Greenstein featured on the latest episode of the High Stakes Poker game show which aired on GSN on Saturday.

Selbst began in the red by $228,000 after being stacked during the first episode while David Peat headed the elite group with winnings of $210,000.

Phil Ruffin and Robert Croak were involved in the first notable hand after Ruffin fired a huge overbet on a 7-8-2-A-J board.

Croak had spiked a flush on the river but managed to get away from his hand despite dominating Ruffin’s straight. He later revealed that the size of the bet had swayed his decision from calling.

Bill Klein then saw his pocket kings cracked after Peat flopped trips. Klein check-raised on the flop and led out on the turn and river before mucking his hand.

Poker Hall of Famer Doyle Brunson entered the action on a J-3-7-Q board for top two pair. Antonio Esfandiari had flopped a set and value bets of $10,100 and $30,100 saw him rake in a $96,000 pot.

Greenstein had been largely inactive up to this point but he sprang to life in the biggest pot of the evening.

Esfandiari fired a $6,200 bullet with 8-7 on a 10-6-4 board for flush and straight draws.

Peat (7-6) called before Greenstein made it $30,000 to go with a flopped set of fours. Esfandiari came back over the top for $106,000 only for Greenstein to jam all-in.

Both players agreed to run the river just once and Esfandiari spiked the Queen of hearts to complete his flush and take down the huge $593,000 pot.
