FTP: Biggest Online Poker Pot Record Broken 4 Times

Yesterday was an impressive day for online poker, as the record for the biggest online poker pot ever was broken 4 times in just a few hours.

Railheaven and Gusheaven, the two $500/$1000 NLHE tables, were the
center of attention on Full Tilt Poker yesterday, as the record for the
largest online poker pot ever was broken four times in a matter of
hours there.

Railheaven and Gusheaven have proven to be the right tables when it
comes to large cash game pots over the past few months. Stars like
Patrik Antonius, David Benyamine, John Juanda or Phil Ivey play there
and the record for the biggest online hand keeps getting broken there
each week basically.

However, this record was not only broken once, but four times yesterday, and all in a matter of hours:

Tom "durrrr" Dwan started the action, winning a $618,000 pot against "LarsLuzak". On a flop, durrrr held , while LarsLuzak had .
With just a gutshot, Lars Luzak called the flop reraise and the turn
bet and after not improving, pushed all-in on the blank river. Durrrr
made the call with top two pair.

The next big hand - arguably the most upsetting one - was won by John Juanda, who held , while his opponent, Tom Dwan, had . They both went all-in preflop, and while things looked good for Dwan, the river showed and Juanda took the $678,000 pot.

The next hand had Juanda again, this time against Phil Ivey: Juanda had and Ivey had . With the flop showing , Ivey already had the trips, but Juanda was aiming for the flush so he continued. However, the (turn) and (river) were of no help to Juanda, and so Ivey won $687,000 with this hand.

The biggest hand of the evening - and the biggest one ever - was quite
similar to the second hand and was was between Di "Urindanger" Dang and
Tom "durrrr" Dwan. The flop came and Urindanger went all-in, as he had , while durrrr called with his . However, no king emerged on the turn or river, and Urindanger managed to win $723,000, the biggest online pot ever.
