$1,978,000 - The BIGGEST Pot In American TV Poker HISTORY!
PokerGO’s recent Cash Of The Titans was filled with crazy action and huge pots. It was no surprise that they broke the record for the biggest pot in American TV poker history when Eric Persson clashed horns with long time poker professional Patrik Antonius!
This version of No Gamble, No Future was called "Cash Of The Titans". Blinds started at $500/$500 and increased every three hours. Players also posted $100,000 on the side, and the biggest winner at the end of Day 3 of play was awarded a $600,000 bonus.
This poker hand happens during the third and final day of the show so the players have been playing with each other consistently for about 14 hours and have built up a lot of history together especially from playing the stand up game where every player stands and you can only sit down when you win a poker hand (you must show the table your winning hand).
This poker hand starts with Persson in the hijack who raises to $7,000. Rob Yong calls on the button before Patrik Antonius decides to 3-bet to $30,000. Both Eric and Rob call. The flop gives Eric and Antonius a flush draw which is where the fireworks happen. Antonius continues his story with a slightly under half pot bet. Persson decides to take the aggressive line and raises to $140,000. This forces Yong to fold and Antonius decides to click it back to $250,000 and Persson calls. On the turn Antonius decides to bet about 25% pot. Persson’s response is to rip his entire stack in the middle for $692,000! Antonius doesn’t take too much time before calling and leaves Persson drawing dead in the biggest ever pot in American TV history!

I won a full buy in on the first hand of a new table once. Effective stacks 150 BB (table max), I hold AA UTG, I raise, BB 3 bets, I 4 bet, BB calls. Flop Q83r, BB open shoves with a pot sized bet, I call. OK, so it was a 1/2 table in 2006, villain had AKo, and it was only $300. I don't play much live cash.

What makes this even better is that Antonius has been a true gentleman at the high stake tables for over two decades and Persson has been known as a rude egoistic bully for like two years lol.

Nice to see Eric got a package deal on scuba suits of various colors. Guessing there is a long line of poker players wanting to sit at Persson's table. The line of NFL teams looking for a World Class punter is similar.
Persson is sure to find the stupidest spots to bluff. The most likely hand Antonius has is AA considering the flow of actions, betting into the ace showing up, making a full house beating his flush draw. And he is SO EASY TO READ it's crazy. Love when Persson calls for a "Queen or nine" when he is drawing dead and the chuckle from... Who?

Eric the biggest punter in televised poker history 👍🏻
2:50. You know you're out of position right "? He's not money greedt, he's ego greedy. And that statement tells me he's afraid!, There's another comment coming i think, yeah after Patrick reraised " I'll be chip leader" trying to sound strong., Again, after the Ace turn " you don't want to do that" he realizes his stack ain't gonna scare Patrick ,might as well try speech, we might get creamed but the guys i play with would love to play perrson!

Ikr, that's why i watch as many interviews as I can with oldtimers like Doyle, johnny chan, and the Goat Chip Reese. True gentleman earning a living.
This whole hand is bonkers, by the way. Persson probably shouldn't be calling Q9s to the 3-bet pre, shouldn't be raising the flop ever. Patrik's click back is fine because Persson has clearly lost his mind but it isn't particularly great in theory either. We're so far off the game tree by the time we get to the turn I have no idea what's going on and what Persson should be doing there, so it's very possibly Persson is supposed to jam Q9ss because it's one of the worst hands he gets to the turn with and you can theoretically gets some K-high and 8x to fold. (even though Patrik shouldn't have much 8x in his range.) It's just nutso.
Isildur1 vs Patrick Antonius also the biggest pot on line

Imo a nut flush draw is always the ace high flush draw. It doesn't matter if better hands exist (boat, straight flush, 4oak). The nut flush is always the nut flush. Might not be the best hand..But it's evident if the board is paired so it goes without saying a flush isn't the actual nuts.
I really wanted to see Eric's stack after the counting was done.

If Persson wore sleeves his tells would be prominently displayed on them
What incredible play from Antonius. In most games if you get 500 blinds in by the turn on a paired board someone probably has quads. He just snaps Person off with a pair and a flush draw potentially drawing nearly dead. The flop 3 bet is also stone cold, next level stuff here.

Persson's line doesn't make any sense, especially on turn. If you think about his possible holdings you understand there's zero sense in shoving the turn. All possible hands that are ahead of Patrik will just call if you know what you're doing. Persson of course doesn't know, nothing new there. He's just a rich guy who likes to throw his money around.

what was amazing was the click back on the flop. When he 4 bets, Persson would've 5 bet shoved if he had a real hand, so by clicking it back he knows that Persson doesn't have a monster when he just calls. This allows him to call the jam once he picks up the ace and he confirms his instincts to call by quickly asking Persson what he has, he gets a little live read and calls on a paired board right after Persson answers him. Just awesome

Yes Jon, it is still the nut flush draw, as in a draw to the best possible flush (not necessarily the overall nuts). Just like you can have a nut straight that isn't the nuts.
