$1.1 million pot at CoinPoker
The closest thing online poker has to Rail Heaven these days is undoubtedly over at the nosebleed tables at CoinPoker. During a time when a major online poker festival is taking place at the site, we have seen the rarest of things in online poker: a seven-figure pot.
A newcomer to the $1,000/$2,000 tables, "BTCDemon" turned $80,000 into $1.5 million in a session yesterday, battling the likes of Owen "PR0DIGY" Messere and Chris "Lukabrate" Nguyen. Lots of six-figure pots were won and lost, and then this happened:

That is what binking a $1.1 million pot (or 555bbs) looks like with 27.84% equity looks like. This is amazingly not a rare occurrence these days on CoinPoker. It really has become the trusted site for nosebleed-stakes online players in the cash game streets.
Speaking of which...
Blez is back
One of the first players to bring attention to the sheer size of the stakes at CoinPoker was Jared Bleznick. You may recall, last year he went on a tremendous run in the nosebleed PLO streets, raking up seven-figure stacks and taking down huge pots. He then vanished, presumably to concentrate on his true love, sports cards.
Well, Blez is back, and the Railbirds couldn't be happier.
One of the most fun players to watch is back on @CoinPoker_OFF

Perhaps happiest of all is high-stakes streamer Bobby James, who has been covering Bleznick's escapades in the PLO streets. He quickly fired up his YouTube channel to cover the action.
While CoinPoker are still very much the upstart when it comes to tournament action (although they are clearly competing with the big guns right now with the GOPC), it seems undeniable that they are the home for high-stakes cash games. The nosebleed players seem to be happy to be there, and the railbirds are very happy to watch.
