Home / Uncategorized / Monster Pot Report: viziato1991 tops biggest play money pots

This week saw action across all the stakes but without any stand out clashes and not necessarily in the games we’ve come to expect. Once again sitting at the top of the list for the week’s Monster Pots is regular contributor ‘viziato1991’.

The Italian claimed a pot of 1.8B chips playing in a four-handed 2.5M/5M No Limit Hold’em game. The action limped around to his big blind, and seeing pocket kings he decided to spice things up with a raise – ‘5M to go’ became ’25M to go’. One of his opponents wasn’t about to be pushed around and decided to make a stand with pocket 5s. He moved all in for almost 900M chips and inevitably got the call (the other two folded). The board ran out bone dry so the kings held up.

Not far behind in second place for the week was ‘3rdWind’. He fell just short of the top spot when his own pocket kings held up to a big ace-high river bluff from ‘crackurnuts’. The pot was 1.78B chips.

To be fair to ‘crackurnuts’ it had been a very good day until that point. Earlier that same day he had claimed a pot of 1.65B chips (fourth biggest this week) when his pocket kings (AGAIN) held up against the AQ of ‘Scott Dai’. There was some healthy pre-flop raising and when the board brought an unthreatening rainbow flop including a queen there was only ever going to be one outcome. A check, an all-in and a call. Neither turn nor river brought improvement to either player.

It was ‘crackurnuts’ involved in the biggest Omaha hand of the week, played at the 1M/2M stakes. Holding a wrap of 8♦ 9â™  10♣ J♣ , he would have been delighted to finally get there on the river with a king high straight. Unfortunately, his opponent ‘skyr33’ had improved to the same hand after holding top pair, so the 1.76B chips were split straight down the middle. At 880 big blinds it was the ninth biggest hand ever recorded by the Monster Pot Report relative to the bet size.

Looking at the biggest stakes, the only action to be found last week in the 10M/20M game was at the Stud tables (where all games use a limit structure). In a session that was mostly played heads-up, ‘xMEDIUMx’ got the better of an old familiar face, ‘Kleppr’ from the USA. Describing a hand of Stud street by street is a painful thing, so in summary, ‘Kleppr’ made two pair (queens and tens) but ‘xMEDIUMx’ got there on the end with a huge flush/straight/three-of-a-kind draw (he made the straight). The pot was worth 224M chips.

The heaviest hand at the 5M/10M game was a strangely passive affair between Dutch players ‘xiquexique’ and ‘muizenfort’. The hand was limped pre-flop and players checked it to the river on a board of 4♦ 4♥ 4â™  3♣ 5♥ . At which point ‘xiquexique’ moved all in with his pair of black sevens, and ‘muizenfort’ instantly called with his pocket aces, claiming a pot of 840M chips.

Finally, down at the minnow of the Monster Pot Report, the 500K/1M game, ‘De-Weirdo76’ took down a 675M chip pot with four-of-a-kind against the full-house of ‘willieboy17’. What made the hand particularly unusual is that both players had made big six card hands. The winner had a pair to go with his quads and the loser broke a second three of a kind to make his full house.

Here are the top 10 hands of all time as recorded by the Monster Pot Report:
