The chips had been flying within the thirteenth season of High Stakes Poker and PokerGO just lately supplied up a video displaying off the highest 10 greatest pots of the season. The motion included some massive personalities, six-figure pots, large coolers, and way more.
One of the most important arms noticed Sameh Elamawy, the CEO of Scratch Loan Services who was concerned in loads of large pots this season, get all of the chips in with A
Ok
in opposition to Andrew Robl’s pocket kings. After seeing a five-bet from Elamawy, Robl shoved and acquired a name.
“Please poker gods,” Robl prayed as he waited to see the board. He was a 70% favourite, however an ace got here proper on the flop. Robl has been one of many greatest winners in live-streamed money video games, however this pot of virtually $1 million went to his opponent.
In one other spotlight, Nikhil ‘Airball’ Arcot blended it up with Stanley Tang. Arcot noticed his Q J catch a flush on a flop of Ok 4 3 in opposition to Tang’s pocket aces. Arcot slow-played his hand properly and finally raked a pot of greater than $431,000.
Another Arcot hand noticed him make an awesome fold on the river with journeys in opposition to Elamawy’s full home. He dodged a bullet, however Elamawy was capable of drag a pot of greater than $500,000.
Tang noticed his pocket aces cracked once more in one other spotlight in a hand in opposition to Justin Gavri, who caught a set of sixes in a multiway pot. This time Tang made a pleasant fold on the flop, avoiding an enormous loss. Humboldt Mike wasn’t so fortunate and couldn’t get away from his pocket 10s, dropping his whole stack in a pot of just below $500,000.
