Railing High Stakes Poker - Big Hands and Pots

[AJG]

I often rail the very high stakes games, especially on FullTilt where I find a) more well known pros more often, and b) bigger games, like 500/1000NLHE or 1000/2000 PLO.

Sometimes I'll use a screen recorder so I can replay/analyze or even just the Print Screen button to capture snapshots. Actually I find screen recording to be useful in games I play to, so I can replay/analyze myself or show to others... (for those interested in doing same, CamStudio is a good free tool)

I thought it might be good to start a thread to post some of the more memorable hands (I assume I am not the only one who rails HSP?)

Anyway I thought i would kick it of with the last pot in a 1000/2000 HU PLO session between durrrr and Phil Ivey. Things basically just went back and forth for about an hour, with neither player gaining a significant win, until durrrr stacked Ivey in this pot... It was all in the middle on the flop. I cant exactly remember the betting sequence but I remember it was Ivey who shoved...

Incredible to think these guys deal in a minute or so with sums of money that would buy a house!

Of course, anyone wishing to contribute big hands/pots here needn't limit it to only online poker.

Nice!

Did you see the $1M pot on high Stakes poker with Dwan and Greenstein ?

[AJG]

No, I only get to see HSP on TV from pokertube
atleast ONE has had a few EPT and APPT events on...
Would love to get ESPN though!
