A good analysis on the biggest online pot in poker history

[Guojing]

A cool $1.35 million dollars pot in PLO was played recently. Here is the best video analysis of some of the hands leading to that pot, as well as the final pot itself.

They should have ran it twice hehe.

Running it twice takes the fun out of poker.
If Life is like poker, then there really ain't such a thing as running it twice. Suck the results up. lol

My two cents. Ignore me.

Great video. 'He hates folding' WTF....I used to think 'Durr' is the sickest online player ever. Isildur1 is beyond sick. He usually plays 6 tables HU at the highest stakes.

Isildur1 went back to his bread and butter, which has been beating Tom “durrrr” Dwan at no-limit hold’em. After picking up a $655,000 win there, Isildur1 went on to face another adversary in Phil Ivey.

During the PLO match with Ivey, Isildur1 won his very first million-dollar pot, though it would not make up for the record-setting hand he lost to Antonius earlier in the week. It’s a good thing that the $1.1 million pot went Isildur1’s way, because it ended up determining the entire session, as he finished up $793,000 on Ivey overall.

With those two out of the way, Isildur1 decided to focus on Antonius, who has been by far the biggest thorn in his side throughout these challenges. It ended up being one of the swingiest matches of the year, as each player took turns being up or down seven figures at a time.

Isildur1 was up $1.7 million at one point, only to see Antonius fight back and claim a small lead of his own. When all was said and done, Isildur1 finished with a $696,000 profit over the course of nearly 5,100 hands. Those three matches have him back to about $2.5 million in profit over the last five weeks.

Flipping a coin for 1.3m is nuts.

Pot Limit (PL) and No Limit (NL)
Stakes higher than $50.00/$100.00

Number of Players Rake per Pot Max Rake
2-3 $1.00 for each $100 in Pot $2.00
4-10 $1.00 for each $100 in Pot $5.00

there are 2 players , $1 for each $100 in the pot , max rake $2

so there is 1300, 000 in the pot , $1 for each $100 taken would mean 13000 is considered for rake , but since $2 is the max , so its $2

It was played on FT. Anyway the max rake is $5 or something.
