Another Record Pot at GGPoker High-Stakes Cash

Level 2 : 150/300, 35 ante
An almost $1M hand occured on GGPoker
An almost $1M hand occured on GGPoker

Records are made to be broken, and it only took about a week for the record of biggest online no-limit hold'em pot to get smashed.

On Aug. 13, a pot of nearly $850,000 went down on GGPoker, breaking a 12-year-old record from the Full Tilt Poker glory days when Tom Dwan and Di Dang clashed for $723K with the former's kings losing to the latter's aces.

Last night, two more modest hands managed to produce an even bigger bounty of $974,631.

Check out all details of this record pot!

Level: 2

Blinds: 150/300

Ante: 35

Early Movers

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante

With a stack of just 125 big blinds to start off with, it's not surprising to some chip changes in the early stages. These players are off to a great start right off the bat.

Kozlenko Doubles in First Hand

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante
Lecompte busts in first hand
Lecompte busts in first hand

In exchange for $1,500, Craig "Tonkaiktomni" Lecompte got to play just a single hand before running out of chips "Andrii "BabyShark19" Kozlenko was the beneficiary of Lecompte's chips for an early lead.

In a three-bet pot where Kozlenko had reraised on the button, the {q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop appeared. Kozlenko bet 1,073 and Lecompte check-called.

The turn brought the {7-Spades} and Lecompte checked. Kozlenko bet 2,698, Lecompte check-raised to 6,396 and Kozlenko called.

On the {j-Clubs} river, Lecompte time-bank shoved all in for 16,131 and, since it was the first hand, Kozlenko called for the exact same amount. Lecompte showed {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for top two pair, Kozlenko rolled over {8-Spades}{6-Spades} for a flush and Lecompte was dusted like that.

The reentry period is open for four hours total and two reentries are permitted, which means Lecompte still has another shot if he desires.
