CoinPoker Turns High Stakes Poker Into a Record-Breaking Spectacle
CoinPoker has developed into a broad online poker platform for cash game and tournament players worldwide, combining crypto-friendly banking with traditional payment options such as bank cards, local methods, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Luxon Pay.
Its tournament schedule covers everything from daily low-cost action to major championship events. Highlights include the Global Online Poker Championship, the monthly CoinMillion and accessible formats such as the Daily Dollar or the brand-new K-Poker, giving players plenty of choice across different bankrolls.
CoinPoker is also becoming increasingly visible beyond the virtual tables. Partnerships with the Battle of Malta and Triton Poker, alongside PokerGO, have pushed the brand deeper into the live and high-stakes poker scene.
The latest High Stakes Poker collaboration with PokerGO has created plenty of buzz. Huge pots, fearless bluffs and some of the biggest names in the game have taken center stage, but CoinPoker grinders have their own reason to dream: One player can turn regular online action into a $100,000 shot at playing High Stakes Poker in Las Vegas.
High Stakes Poker Smashes Its Pot Record Twice in 48 Hours
CoinPoker’s presenting sponsorship of High Stakes Poker Live Week delivered exactly the kind of action the partnership promised. During PokerGO’s first seven-day live run of the show, two all-time pot records fell in the space of just three days.
The week ran from August 25 to 31 at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas and quickly developed into one of the wildest stretches in the show’s history.
$6.7 Million Hits the Table
The stakes reached extraordinary levels on August 29, when longtime host Ali Nejad noted that High Stakes Poker had more money in play than ever before.
At one stage, PokerGO reported more than $6.7 million sitting on the table, setting the scene for the record-breaking pots that followed.
The first major milestone came one day later.
On August 30, Andrew Robl and Eric Wasserson collided in a huge $2,478,000 heads-up pot, surpassing the previous High Stakes Poker record of $2,421,500.
Robl held J♦10♦, but Wasserson’s A♦9♥ ultimately came out on top in a hand PokerGO described simply as “war.”
A $4.26 Million Bluff Shatters the Record
The new benchmark survived for barely 24 hours.
During the final broadcast on August 31, Michael “Texas Mike” Moncek attempted a huge ten-high bluff against Wasserson.
The move did not get through, with Wasserson holding a flush and collecting an incredible $4,260,000 pot.
That single hand almost doubled the record set the previous day and became the largest pot ever played on High Stakes Poker.
Moncek did not have to wait long for some redemption. On the very next hand, he won $2,337,000 from Robl, producing another massive pot and one of the biggest hands in the show’s history.
The extraordinary sequence prompted CoinPoker to ask whether poker had returned to its “glory days” — and with multiple seven-figure pots landing in quick succession, the question did not feel far-fetched.
CoinPoker Takes Center Stage on High Stakes Poker
CoinPoker served as the presenting sponsor of the entire live week, which marked PokerGO’s first run of seven consecutive days of High Stakes Poker.
The partnership also brought CoinPoker closer to the action itself, with ambassador Alejandro Lococo among the players appearing during the week.
For CoinPoker, the timing could hardly be better. The platform has already become known for nosebleed online cash games and seven-figure pots, while its PokerGO partnership now links that high-stakes identity directly with one of poker’s most recognizable televised cash games.
And there is another twist for regular players: through CoinPoker’s ongoing promotion, one grinder can win a $100,000 High Stakes Poker seat of their own, turning the spectacle from something to watch into something to chase.
Win a $100K Seat on High Stakes Poker
CoinPoker is not only bringing players closer to the High Stakes Poker action. One grinder can actually win a seat at the table.
The ongoing PokerGO promotion awards one player a fully covered High Stakes Poker package worth more than $100,000.
Players who register with the code POKERGO can compete in weekly leaderboards from September 6 to October 25, with both real-money cash game and tournament activity counting toward qualification.
A total of eight weekly winners will move on to the final draw on October 31. From there, one player will secure the grand prize:
- 💰 $100,000 High Stakes Poker buy-in
- ✈️ $10,000 for travel and spending
- 🏨 Las Vegas Strip hotel stay
- 🃏 Warm-up cash game
- 🧠 Private coaching session
- ⭐ VIP experience around the broadcast
Best of all, entry into the promotion is free, so no direct seat purchase is required.
That gives regular CoinPoker players a rare chance to turn their normal online grind into a shot at one of poker’s most famous cash games.
