Plus the biggest hand ever happened.....after 11 years
Biggest Pot Ever Hand Reader
No question about it: After 11 years of online poker without crossing the $600k pot barrier, the game steamrolled into the future in September with not one but two $600k+ pots changing hands - including of course the biggest pot ever won online, for an awe-inspiring $610,000.
Even more of a story? The winning player and the winning hand.
Not Phil Ivey. Not Patrik Antonius. Not even one of the fearless young guns of poker like durrrr or Hac "trex313" Dang.
No, the proud owner of the biggest pot in online poker history is now reputed online fish "patatino," who somehow managed to sneak into the record books on Sept. 12 and scoop the infamous pot with nothing more than a pair of deuces.
