Must Be Nice To Win A $1.9 Million Hand Of Poker With Your Opponent Drawing Dead, The Biggest Pot In US Televised Poker History
I know that feeling, my friend. Going all in and having zero outs…not the best feeling in the world to say the least. Now multiply that by infinity when you're on the wrong end of a $1.9 MILLION pot, the largest pot in televised poker history in the United States.
Now while it was quite a punt by Persson (another feeling I relate to all too well), there was extra incentive behind it- the player in this game who made the most money over the course of 3 days won an extra $100k from each player. So Persson was praying he was drawing live to a heart or a queen…but turns out he had zero outs, oops!
The poker streams are electric right now, with his wacky hand happening a couple nights ago:
Huge cash games, record breaking tournament fields, streams with insane viewing numbers night after night…poker could not be more back.
