Patrick Antonius 1.3 Million Dollar Pot

Last week we wrote about an $878k pot which was at the time the biggest pot ever for online poker.  Well, not even a day later this amount was crushed between the same 2 players: Patrik Antonius (Full Tilt Poker Pro) and Isildur1.  Yet again the two were at it on the high stakes omaha tables at Full Tilt Poker the very next night playing some $500/$1000.

At the beginning of the hand Antonius had approximately $1.2 Million dollars on the table, and Isildur1 was sitting with $678k.  The two quickly raised up the pot preflop as they usually do to approximately $160k.  The flop fell 4 5 2 rainbow.  Antonius led out with a bet of $91,000 (holding AKK3 – having the low straight) which was quickly raised by Isildur1 to $435k.  Antonius came over the top again putting Isildur1 all-in and a total of $1,356,947 in the pot.  Isildur1 was on a huge straight wrap holding 6789.  The turn came 5 reducing Isildur1’s odds, then a 9 on the river giving Antonius the best hand and the massive pot.

All I have to say is these guys make me sick.  GG both of you.
