Million Dollar Pot on High-Stakes Poker?

Internet Poker / Editor / 08 November 2007 / Leave a Comment

Rumours are rife that Jamie Gold and Patrik Antonius have been involved in the largest ever pot on GSN's High-Stakes Poker.

Eight players with more than $5m between them of their own money sat down for filming in what is undoubtedly the biggest TV cash game in history.

Forum chatter tells us that in a particular pot Antonius called an all-in bet from Gold but we are left wondering whether this could indeed be a million dollar pot. This would require that neither player was short-staked - otherwise the pot would be a mere several hundred thousand.

Not something for the feint hearted but these guys can afford it. Antonius has been a regular in The Big Game for some years now and (although he had to share his winnings) Jamie Gold won $12m at the Main Event of the WSOP 2006.

Gold is not widely regarded as a "great" player - something he freely admits - but he does say that he intends to be "the greatest bluffer in the world." This might turn out to be rather an expensive bluff.
