High Stakes Highlights - Today in High Stakes Poker

Hey, fellow degen! This morning I woke up with a realization. Table 1 isn’t the only private game in the world (shocking I know). A TON of high stakes private game poker is streamed every day online. And what’s more private than showing all your hands on the internet for the world to see?!

Between Hustler Casino Live, PokerGO, The Lodge, Bally Live Poker, Champions Poker Live, PokerStars Live there’s no way to keep up with all of the action. Or is there?!

As a Table 1 newsletter subscriber you expect one thing. It’s our tagline: “High Stakes Vegas. In Your Inbox.” Well why just Vegas? From now on we’re going to give you recaps from every high stakes cash game stream that airs on YouTube. We watch, so you don’t have to. Anyways, let’s get to it:

Bally Live Poker: $25/$50 No Limit Poker Game (July 10th 2024)

Welcome to the inaugural segment of “High Stakes Highlights.” Today, we're diving into the latest action from Bally's $25/$50 No Limit Poker game. Buckle up, because this session was packed with monster pots and jaw-dropping plays. Here are the highlights!

Big Winners:

  1. Antonius the Conqueror - Antonius was on fire this session! His pocket kings went up against Harry Arabian's pocket tens, resulting in a whopping $14,000 pot when the board ran clean on a scary flop for kings. Check that hand out here. He scooped another big pot with pocket jacks on his very first hand (three ways to play them and they’re all WRONG right? Not for Antonius). He was the biggest winner of the day with net winnings of $25,975. Talk about running hot!

  2. Harry Arabian's Comeback - Harry Arabian also had a strong performance, pocketing a total of $14,000. Despite some early setbacks, Harry managed to turn things around, showing some real resilience at the table. (And bottom 2 pair vs TPTK helped too)

Big Losers:

  1. Justin's Tough Beat - Poor Justin had a rough night. This big pot vs Pipi was the story of his session. This hand alone set Justin back significantly, contributing to his $17,200 loss.

  2. Perry Zhao’s Downfall - (throughout the session) Perry Zhao faced a brutal session, losing $22,075. It seemed like nothing could go his way, making him the biggest loser of the night.

Noteworthy Hands:

  1. Yoda’s Boat - Yoda made sixes full in this pot. He couldn’t get Olvin to call with just ace high though. Needs to work on his Jedi mind tricks!

  2. Pipi's Perfect Play - Pipi won a $23,000 pot, flopping a set of tens and getting paid off by Justin, who just couldn't let go of his hand.

Interesting Moments:

  • Tension at the Table: The game wasn’t just about the cards. We had some spicy table talk and a bit of tension, especially when players debated bomb pots and double board PLO games.

  • Dynamic Plays: With seasoned pros mixing it up with aggressive amateurs, the session was a masterclass in diverse poker strategies and psychological warfare.

Wrap-Up

That’s a wrap for today’s high-stakes action at Bally's $25/$50 No Limit Poker game. Antonius, Harry Arabian, and Pipi came out as the big winners, while Justin and Perry Zhao will be licking their wounds.
