Jennifer Tilly dominated episode 31 of "Hellmuth's Home Game" with a profit of 8,875 (1 Tbsp, 4 Twists), beating Phil Hellmuth, Shaun Deeb, and Erick Lindgren. Dan Cates was the biggest winner of the night with 19,500 (1 Tbsp, 4 Twists). "Hellmuth's Home Game," produced by Poker Night in America (PNIA) and sponsored by BetRivers, aired again Monday night on CBS Sports. Filmed at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada, the national television show is unique in that it has no commentators. Instead, it features Phil Hellmuth chatting with a group of pros and friends in a relaxed and intimate cash game environment. PokerNews watched episode 31 and compiled recaps of some of the biggest pots and interesting storylines. Here are the chip stacks at the start of this episode: Seat Player Chips 1 Dan “Jungleman” Cates $30,000 2 Xuan Liu $25,000 3 Shaun Deeb $25,000 4 Jennifer Tilly $5,000 5 Phil Hellmuth $5,000 6 Erick Lindgren $5,000 The game started with blinds of $25/$50 and a big blind of $50. Here are the recaps of some of the best hands in this episode. Lindgren went all-in at the wrong time. Jennifer Tilly raised to $300 from the hijack position with 8♦7♥, and Erick Lindgren called from the button with A♠10♣. Daniel "Jungleman" Cates, in the small blind with A♣J♣, 3-bet to $1,500. Tilly folded, and Lindgren went all-in with $4,975. Cates instantly called, creating a pot of $10,450. Lindgren was outplayed, and both agreed to run twice. Unfortunately, the first board ran out K♠4♥9♠J♦7♦, and the second board ran out K♥6♠2♥5♦3♣, neither of which helped Lindgren. Cates won the pot, and Lindgren had to re-buy. Hellmuth was beaten by a straight on the 8th hand. Hellmuth, in the cutoff position, raised to $300 with A♠J♥. Cates, in the small blind, 3-bet with K♣J♣.
