Biggest pot in online poker history

Last night it finally happened: a seven figure pot in online poker. As expected, it came in a hand involving the high stakes phenom Isildur1, but the winner of the pot is this year's biggest winner on Full Tilt Poker, Patrik Antonius. And the size of the pot? A staggering 1,356,947 dollars!


At the start of the hand Patrik had approximately $1.25 million while Isildur1 was sitting behind a stack of $678k. There was $162k in the pot already when the rest of the money went in on the flop:

$1.356.947 in the pot

Patrik was about a 55% favorite on flop and his hand was good to the end.

The last 24 hours haven't treated Isildur1 kindly, as in a period from Saturday morning to Sunday morning CET he has lost $3.36 million dollars to his two great rivals, Patrik Antonius (+$2.1 million) and Phil Ivey (+$1.2 million).
