Biggest Online Pot EVER... Won by a Pair of Deuces
Friday, 12 September 2008
We knew it might happen, and it has. Only moments after we wrote about one of the biggest sessions ever seen online, the biggest pot EVER won online has just been won - by a pair of twos.
So the stage is set. 'Patatino' is on the table, a player rumoured to be one of the biggest losers in 2008 on the Full Tilt Poker games. At the table are Phil 'OMGClayAiken', Hac ‘trex313’ Dang, Tom 'durrrr' Dwan and regista8, with around $1.3 million on the table. Then this happened:
Full Tilt Poker Game #8041034010: Table RailHeaven (6 max) - $500/$1000 - No Limit Hold'em - 10:25:38 ET - 2008/09/12

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $609,733
Rake $3
Board: [Td 6d 8c 2h 4c]
Seat 1: trex313 (small blind) showed [Jd 9d] and lost with Jack Ten high
Seat 2: OMGClayAiken (big blind) folded on the Flop
Seat 4: durrrr didn't bet (folded)
Seat 5: patatino showed [Qd 2d] and won ($609,730) with a pair of Twos
Seat 6: regista8 (button) didn't bet (folded)
Now, we'd love to be able to analyse the metagame, see what caused all of this money to go in, and so on. We can't though, as our jaws are still on the ground. In a six-max game like this, super aggressive players like those here play their draws hard, and the open-ended straight draw *and* flush draw of trex313 must have felt like a monster draw. Little did he know that the diamond outs were dead to the bigger flush draw of patatino though, leaving him in bad shape. When the board didn't hit the Jack, Nine, Eight or Queen 'trex313' required, it was left to 'patatino' to scoop in a $609,733 pot with just a pair of twos...
God, I wish I ran that good.
UPDATE: Phil Ivey is seventh on the waiting list for the game. This could be a long day...
