Eric Wasserson won a $4,260,000 pot during the Aug. 31 High Stakes Poker livestream, nearly doubling the record he had established days earlier with a $2,478,000 pot. The latest hand, played against Michael "Texas Mike" Moncek in a $2,000/$4,000 game with a $20,000 big blind ante, ended when Wasserson called Moncek’s effectively $1,607,000 river all-in with a flush. The result surpassed the previous $2,478,000 mark and Santhosh Suvarna’s earlier 2026 record of $2,421,500. The hand capped a special run of PokerGO livestreams from Las Vegas that began Aug. 25 and included some of poker’s biggest high-stakes cash-game players. The Aug. 31 broadcast was presented by CoinPoker, which is offering a $100,000 seat through a promotional freeroll.
