The ninth episode GSN's High Stakes Poker brought in a new line-up. Doyle Brunson and Mike Matusow joined the table, along with French pros Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and David Benyamine.
Meanwhile, Phil Ivey, Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Daniel Negreanu (pictured right) have all returned to their seats, as they've been on the show throughout the whole Season 6. Another player who has made his appearance earlier and has now returned is Eli Elezra.
Negreanu lost and frustrated
While it has been a custom for Phil Hellmuth to blow off in nearly every televised cash game, he wasn't to be found in this line-up and the man who has seemingly taken over his role was Daniel Negreanu.
Negreanu has had his share of misfortune on High Stakes Poker, but this episode he had none to blame but himself. With Elezra seated to his left, Negreanu had a hard time figuring out where he was at in a hand whenever he tangled up with the former Israeli commander.
However, Elezra was not the only one giving Negreanu a headache. In a hand against Doyle Brunson and David Benyamine, it was the latter who got both of his opponents confused. You can find more info on that hand below, as well as a glimpse of the battles between Elezra and Negreanu:
