Wasserson Vs. Robl Sets New High Stakes Poker Record

The writing was on the wall. The duo almost touched the ceiling earlier this year with a $1,716,100 pot on January 29. This time, after days of social media beef and sparring between the two, Robl declared he was wiring $7 million to take on Wasserson and break his streak. However, things did not go as Robl planned after Wasserson scooped every cent of the nearly $2.5 million record-breaking cash pot.

Over $9 million sat on the table, and both players were sitting on monster stacks. Robl with a J♦10♦ and Wasserson A♦9♥.

• Preflop: Heavy raising and a 3-bet pumped the pot close to $600,000 before anyone saw three cards.
• The Flop4♠7♠9♦: Wasserson hit a nine, but with so much cash already in the middle, both players checked it through.
• The Turn Shove: Robl checked after the turn brought the 3♦, and Wasserson hit him with a $200,000 bet. Robl countered by ripping in his entire $940,000 stack. Wasserson pondered for a minute to get his bearings and went balls out with the call, setting a new record $2,478,000 pot.
• Running It Twice: The players agreed to run the river twice, but both runouts fell in Wasserson's favor.

Wasserson walked away up $2.2 million. Robl took a $770,000 hit.

He features in four of the top five biggest pots in the show’s history, but every single one of them has him sitting on the losing end. The $2.478M clash now sits atop the leaderboard of televised cash game history on High Stakes Poker.
