“Patatino” Hits World Record Pot at RailHeaven!

High Stakes regular Patatino - rumored to be yet another account from renowned billionaire Guy Laliberte - hit a pretty big milestone this week. On Friday afternoon, playing on Full Tilt Poker $500/$1000 NLHE table RailHeaven, Patatino took down a $609K+ pot from one of his fiercest rivals, Hac “Trex313” Dang, holding against the board with just a pair of deuces and avoiding a multitude of draws and over cards en route to the largest pot won in online poker history!

The news has been spreading fast amongst many of the biggest poker media outlets and forums, so its no surprise that it’s being reported here on Gambling101. I mean personally it was absolutely one of the sickest things I had ever seen at this particular table, as Trex called a 3-bet reraise ALL-IN from Patatino after a flop of T 6 8 (with 2 diamonds falling). Now at first, I thought for sure it was either a made straight versus a set or two pair, but what they flipped up just absolutely blew my mind considering there was just a meager $600,000+ in the middle (El ohhhhh Elz) : Trex313 with Jd 9d and Patatino with Qd 2d!

Both players were banking their stacks on flush draws and live cards galore - and that was with the turn and river still to come - just wow! When the turn paired up Patatino’s deuce, it was all up to the mighty river to decide if Trex would be able to come from behind and take away this pot with a straight card filler or one of his 2 over cards. Unfortunately for Hac Dang, his chances of felting Patatino would not come on this day, as the river bricked out, shipping the 600 dimes over to everyone’s favorite fishy over at Full Tilt Poker.
