Antonius sets new biggest Online Poker pot record

Oliver — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:10:47 +0000

Just last week, Patrik Antonius and Isildur1 broke the record for the biggest pot in online poker on a single hand. A few days ago at Full Tilt Poker, they did it again and managed to also get past the million-dollar mark for an online poker pot. The prior record was $878,958.50 and went to Patrik Antonius. The new record stands at $1,356,946 and yet again went to Antonius.

Let’s take a look at how they reached the richest pot in poker once more. As before, Antonius and Isildur1 were pushing one another to place massive bets throughout the night, consistently reaching high into 6 figures, including an $815,000 pot at one point. The setting of another new record was seemingly bound to happen, as neither player was backing down.

The first million-dollar hand started out aggressively before the flop. Isildur1 placed an opening bet of $3,000, and this saw a $9,000 response from Antonius. This back and forth continued to take the pot to $162,000, until a call from Isildur1 saw a flop of 5 Clubs/4 Spades/2 Hearts.

Antonius pressed forward by betting $91,000 and this was countered with Isildur1 repotting to bring the total to $435,000. Antonius pushed it higher still to $773,000 and then Isildur1 went all-in to create the $1.3 million pot and break another record for online poker.

The cards were turned up Ace Hearts/King Hearts/King Spades/3 Spades for Antonius and 9 Spades/8 Hearts/7 Diamonds/6 Diamonds for Isildur1. All that was left was for the turn and river cards to come down and decide who would come away victorious this time.

A 5 Hearts on the turn greatly diminished Isildur1’s chances, and the following 9 Clubs on the river made Patrik Antonius the first winner of a $1 million online poker pot. Isildur1 kept hemorrhaging money that night, and was eventually down $2.1 million to Antonius and $1.2 million to Ivey. Happily for the mysterious Isildur1, he has continued to dominate in games with Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan, and Isildur1 even managed to take a $1.1 million pot of his own from Phil Ivey recently. Isildur1’s fortunes could be changing for the better once more.

All of this action keeps taking place at Full Tilt Poker. Many have been watching the high stakes tables with baited breath, staying on the lookout for the next sign of a truly massive pot. Will the $1 million+ pots continue, or is this unusually aggressive play that will die down soon? Please tell us what you think in the comments below.

Patrik Antonius Wins Biggest Ever Online Poker Pot

Oliver — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:18:20 +0000

Pro poker player Patrik Antonius has won the largest ever pot in online poker history, a staggering $878,958.50, from Isildur1.

The battle took place at the high stakes tables of Full Tilt Poker, a pot-limit Omaha game played over 4 tables. It seems beyond belief that Antonius was willing to take on Isildur1, who has been clobbering all comers lately at the high stakes tables. Nevertheless, Antonius took the risk and it paid off for him, as Isildur1’s previous high stakes profit lead has now been greatly diminished.

While the entire game between Antonius and Isildur1 saw many massive pots, the biggest online hand in history was something else entirely. Isildur1 began with a $3,000 raise that was called by Antonius, and the flop came down Queen Spades / 7 Hearts/ 5 Hearts. Antonius checked and Isildur1 tossed in another $5,000, only to meet with a $21,000 check-raise from Antonius, which Isildur1 called.

An Ace Diamonds on the turn saw Antonius make a bet of $48,000 to double the pot, and the pot was doubled again by Isildur1. The response from Antonius was to go all-in, and Isildur1 called after only brief consideration. This pushed the pot to become the largest in online poker history at $878,958.50.

At this point, Isildur1 and Antonius’s cards were revealed; Ace Spade / King Spades / Queen Diamonds / 10 Hearts for Isildur1 and Ace Hearts / Queen Jacks / 9 Spades / 6 Hearts for Antonius. If the river had fallen without tipping the action in either player’s favour, it would have been a split pot, with both players holding the same two pairs. Unfortunately for Isildur1, the river card was the 8 Diamonds giving Antonius a 9-high straight, and the honour of winning the biggest ever pot in online poker.

From there, it continued to be a great run for Patrik Antonius, who finished up his play with Isildur1 at $2.9 million in winnings. Isildur1’s ended $2.5 million in the hole, but he had at least improved his position in play against Brian Townsend, who handed over $440,000.

All the action happened at Full Tilt Poker, where many of today’s top professional poker players are members of Team Full Tilt. Joining Full Tilt Poker gives you the opportunity to watch the best high stakes action in world unfolding live, and you can take part in many of the richest online poker tournaments by playing there.
