No Gamble, No Future. WPT Cash of the Titans

I won't spoil the hand other than saying I was super satisfied with the outcome!

Kind of crazy to put in that much with a draw on a paired board

To make this even crazier, Antonius just a short time later was virtually back to starting stack.

I did not watch this live but in the comments it was pointed out Patrik Antonius and Andrew Robl quickly got into another pot with Antonius flopping a set and Robl flopping the nut straight...that pot ended up $1.2 million.

With just a few hands left to play, Robl was said to be up $1.5 million for the session. As long as the spoils didn't make it back to Eric Persson, I'm okay!

That one sounds more like a standard set-up situation though. Whereas in a 3-bet pot and on a paired board the Q high flushdraw should probably just call the flop C-bet rather than raise, then call again on the turn and fold on the river. Which would have saved Persson a ton of cash

WOW!

wow, imagine being put to a decision for that much money on the turn, decide to call and then realize your opponent is drawing dead and you just won a 2 million dollar pot..... must be nice

Had already seen this hand, some fireworks there alright.

Don’t rate Persson at all myself, bit of a maniac… 🤷‍♂️

Hilarious when he calls for a queen or nine and needs Patrik to inform him he’s dead in the water…

NH Patrik, shame he couldn’t hold onto the spoils.

Who won the 600K prize?

Robl played perfect from all the footage i could see

Is there an explanation as to why the title of this thread was changed?

It was the largest ever televised pot in US poker...that was the specific draw to the thread.

Thanks

Loved seeing the outcome of that one. I can't stand that guy & really like the one who won it. (< spoiler free)

Here in Brazil we say that he jumped on the spear. Who never?

Sometimes the risk is justified) And sometimes we think why we did it at all 😀
