Andrew Robl Five-Bet Jams Into Aces to Lose $1.7 Million Pot
Eric Wasserson had a 78% VPIP during the third and final day of the PokerGO Super High Roller Cash Game, but he happened to have pocket aces when Andrew Robl jammed into him in a $1.7 million pot.
Robl is one of the most recognizable and successful high-stakes cash game players of all time, and is known for running particularly well in televised games. But it wasn't his night inside the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas as he got stacked for $851,000 to end the stream down over $1.5 million.
Not Cash Game Superstar's Day
Rob and Wasserson, respectively, started the $500/$1,000 ($2,000 big blind ante) match with $300,000 and $200,000, but both players had nearly a million in front of them by the time they tangled more than six hours into the stream.
The hand kicked off with a raised to $16,000 from Wasserson on the button with A♦A♣ and Robl three-betting to $80,000 in the big blind with A♠3♠. Wasserson wasn't slow-playing his aces and four-bet to $200,000.
Robl then quickly five-bet jammed his remaining stack of $772,000 and Wasserson snapped him off with a bigger stack, a much quicker reaction with aces than his infamous slowroll weeks ago at World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise.
The duo decided to run it twice and Robl was flopped dead on the first board of Q♥9♣A♥3♣9♥, and the high-stakes superstar failed to hit anything on the second board of K♠2♣K♣5♦J♥ to lose the $1,716,100 pot.
Robl, who had already been down $686,500 prior to the hand, surrendered his seat and ended the stream down $1,540,300, according to PokerGO, far and away the biggest loser of the night.
"Can I have a mulligan?" Robl later wrote on X, adding "oops."
The lineup for the final stream also included Jason Koon, Nacho Barbero and Justin Gavri.
There have been plenty of other highlights from this week's stream, including Antonio Esfandiari and Alan Keating playing a $2.4 million pot and recreational player Sameh Elamawy making one of the best folds of the year.
