Jared Bleznick Wins Round 2 of High Stakes Duel 5 for $200,000
Poker After Dark made its triumphant return to PokerGO following a summer hiatus. The high stakes cash game action came back strong with “Solve for Hollywood” week starring Randall Emmett, Garrett Adelstein, and Matt Berkey. Hollywood producer Emmett restored energy to the PokerGO Studio with his usual table talk that brought about many big hands in the $200/$400 game.
The trio of headliners did their part to drum up huge pots and the entire ensemble cast played their part to ensure a fun night for all involved. Relive the premiere of “Solve for Hollywood” here!
Emmett made the highlight reel, not for a hand, but for a monologue so original, no screenwriter would be able to script it. Adelstein leered over at Emmett in an early pot drawing the ire from his neighbor which unleashed the speech of Emmett’s career. There is no Hollywood without a little bit of drama.
Randall Emmett draws the line against @GmanPoker and #PokerAfterDark is turning up the volume from the PokerGO Studio. 🗣️🔊🗨️👀

The night ended on a positive note for Galfond. In the last hand of play, Galfond matched wits with the dangerous Garrett Adelstein in a pot worth all of her chips. Poker After Dark viewers are familiar with seeing Adelstein put his opponents in the blender but this time, Galfond had him between her fingers. Watch a massive all-in to end the night with a great play from Galfond and even better fold from Adelstein.
The right turn for @Farah_Galfond, the right fold from @GmanPoker.

Adelstein wound up a small loser on the night and will attempt to recoup those dollars tomorrow night on the second night of “Solve for Hollywood.”
