Biggest Online Poker Pot in the history
 October 28, 2008, 8:44 am (3 years ago)In an exciting night at Full Tilt Poker, records were broken throughout the high-stakes tables as the biggest pot in high-stakes poker was won surprising 4 times and internet sensation Tom ‘durrr’ Dwan fought his way to sitting with $1,400,000 at the $500/$1,000NL table Railhaven.
Earlier the biggest pot was just exceeding $600,000 and was taken by Cirque de Soleil founder Guy LaLiberte holding only a pair of deuces. Tom Dwan was the 1st to break that record, won picking up $617,968 with top 2 pair in opposition to a $275,000 trick following a long sitting playing heads-up $500/$1,000NL with Lars Luzack.
Afterward, durrr lost the biggest pot ever of online poker to John Juanda after getting it all-in pre-flop with AA and KK correspondingly. Juanda’s 3-outer came viciously on the river and the World Series of Poker Europe champion got a $678k pot.
Afterward, Phil Ivey flopped a set of 10s following some heavy pre-flop action and check-raised all in. Juanda called off with K8ss for the 2nd-nut flush draw and did not hit. Ivey won a $690k pot.
Urindanger won Ivey’s mantle and the biggest in the history of online pot. Urindanger increased from middle place to $3,000 and Guy LaLiberte called. Durrr swiftly squeezed to $16,300 and it folded back to Urindanger, who four-bet to $45,000. Durrr called, leaving stacks of around $300,000 behind. The flop appeared 594 with 2 hearts and Urindanger bet out. Durrr raised and Urindanger shoved, getting an insta-call. Again, durrr was in an AA v KK state, but this time he was the unlucky loser. The turn and river blanked out and brought a $723,938 pot – the biggest ever.
