Watch the Largest Pot in Online Poker History
January 5th, 2010
Patrik Antonius and Isildur1 go head-to-head for $1.3 million.
The epic online poker tilts between Patrik Antonius and Isildur1 have already become the stuff of legend. For a while there, until Isildur1 ran out of money decided to take a breather, the two of them were pushing the action so high and so fast, it seemed they were breaking records every night they played. In fact Isildur1 was involved in 4 of the 5 largest pots in online history, several of them against Antonius, in a period of just a few short weeks.
And then in late November, the two again found themselves head-to-head in a game of Pot Limit Omaha. And history was made when one hand ended up with $1.35 million in the pot. It was then, and continues to be, the largest pot in the history of online poker.
And now you can watch that historic hand in this video, along with a bit of (mostly) helpful commentary. And whoever created the video was also kind enough to show the two hands that happened just prior to the record setting pot, for a bit of context. It’s definitely worth a watch if you’re a fan of super high-stakes poker, or just want to see what kinds of hands Isildur1 and Antonius were willing to bet approximately $675,000 each on.
