Eric Wasserson Claims Record $4.26 Million Pot on High Stakes Poker

The collision between Wasserson and Moncek unfolded at a $2,000/$4,000 table with a $20,000 big blind ante. Wasserson opened with nine-seven of diamonds, drawing a reraise from Moncek, who held ten-seven of clubs. The flop arrived ace-king-nine with two diamonds, sparking a series of aggressive bets and calls that pushed the pot into seven-figure territory. After the four of hearts landed on the turn, Moncek committed $330,000 on a ten-high bluff, which Wasserson promptly called.

When the five of diamonds appeared on the river, it completed a flush for Wasserson. Moncek pushed his remaining stack of $1,607,000 into the center, only for Wasserson to finalize the call and claim the record-shattering $4,260,000 total. This victory arrives only days after Wasserson established a previous record with a $2,478,000 pot, underscoring an intense week of high-stakes play on the PokerGO platform.
