Eric Wasserson Claims Largest Pot in High Stakes Poker History

The massive pot eclipsed the previous record of $2,421,500, set by Santhosh Suvarna earlier this year during Season 16. The action intensified quickly, with nearly $600,000 already in the center before the nine-seven-four flop. Both players checked the turn, which brought a three of diamonds. Robl checked again, prompting a $200,000 bet from Wasserson. Robl responded by moving all-in for roughly $940,000, and Wasserson made the call to finalize the historic total.

To settle the outcome, the players opted to run the board twice, with Wasserson winning both iterations to claim the full amount. This event occurred during a specialized week of broadcasts presented by CoinPoker, featuring a lineup of elite professionals. Since its 2006 debut, the series has served as the industry standard for televised cash games, and this latest result highlights a volatile year for the show’s record books.
