I can’t imagine there’s a better feeling in poker than having your opponent drawing dead all in on the turn in a $2m pot
Literally nothing. This is the pinnacle of poker highs lol
What about the 600k he almost guaranteed to win for being the biggest winner?
not just in poker, in the whole world 😂
patrik is always rock solid, remember when he called phil laak with 104 of spades? but when eric says all in you can see patrik's anxious, he knows hes gonna call and the money means something to him.
@@bipolarpunt5721 They played for 2 days with barely any action. Persson finally had to much coke and blew up and now we have the winner. I doubt there will be a pot half that size again.
Persson asking for a 9 or Q after realising Antonius has the nut flush draw not realising he was drawing dead is pure comedy 😂
This guy should not be in these games
Pure not funny!
It was funny but I feel bad for him. You could see how nervous he was throughout that hand.
@@johnsnakes6125 Why not?He is the reason this games are running.Even other amateurs want to get free money.
@@user-ly5oo2hd7phe’s not even a poker player. Just donkey fun player. Learn more.
Patrick saying “call” and showing almost no emotions is honestly such a boss move. I can’t stand Eric, this was a joy to watch 😂🙏🏻🙏🏻
Can't stand him either👍😎
Same. He's such a tool.
He was actually clearly nervous, never seen him like that before
@@tapatapaz I actually think he was so surprised and like confused not nervous. Although who knows… Eric’s line made NO sense. He either had a weird nutted hand or absolute nothing…
eric makes the gsme actually entertaining. some other just sit and show nothing, so boring
I love it. Eric's personality annoys me and I love how cool and decent Patrick has always been at a table. Epic overplay by a giant fish.
Eric has massive bully energy. Having been bullied a lot as a kid, I can spot it a mile away.
@@ligafftheindifferent3495 The only lovely thing about that is he gives Helmuth a show for his mouth :P
He can afford it. CLEARLY
🤣🤣🐡🐡
And that's the thing about him. When he loses it all, and he will, he won't have anything but the memory of his money as his best friend.
Couldn’t have happened to a better player. Antonius has always been a great ambassador for the game. Congratulations!
He really is!
Never looses his cool , never complains, never berates other players, just an absolute legend of the game!
Not to mention notoriously runs bad in big spots
I've been watching Patrik Antonius play poker since 07' the most relax dude at the table 💯 of the time.
the only player I'd rather see in Persson's chair is Hellmuth, but I'm very happy to see Persson lose this hand.
Was about to write this comment.
It was an act of class from Patrik not to ask how many times do you wanna run it 😂
Haha didn't think about that
gold
that's like that football team that went for the two point conversion at the end of the game when they were 57 points ahead
I don’t think they can run it 2 times because of the side bet
Perrson is too dumb to realize it was probably a joke to rub it in.
Patrik read this fish like a kindergarten book. The fast snap raise, the quick call and “let’s go” after the 3 bet on the flop, table talk trying to intimidate patrik from betting more, snap shove, then when patrik asks “what do you have?” persson nervously answers by telling him his chip stack - dead give away. Even though Patrick’s flush could be dead and could be drawing to two outs he knows even eric isn’t stupid enough to play 8s full or trip 3s like this.
That’s exactly what I was thinking .. about him playing 8s full or 3s (quads) like that. Only a super amateur player would play it like he did .. Eric likes to bully and he’s been caught so many times 😂😂😂
Eric thought Patriks down bet on the turn was KK or QQ. Honestly patrick should check the turn imo. But it worked out perfect this time.
@@mikegoodwin5951the down bet is genius. Applies pressure to 8x qq, jj,1010, 99s and makes Eric spazz out with worth flush draws.
Imagine losing a million dollars while dressed in blue spandex.
Lol seriously wtf is he wearing
I have always appreciated how patrick conducts himself at the table and is a high limit stud, im glad he has the record and scooped that from eric
Patricks a G
old school. Cool as a cucumber
Still a crazy call with top pair and flush draw.
High limit stud 😂
@@josephdale69not as crazy when you consider it’s against Eric. Would’ve thought about it way longer against most other players and folds to a few. Eric is a snap call though.
This is the punt of all punts. I like how Eric doesn’t even consider the full house combos he loses to on turn considering how preflop action went.
What combos?He has no clue what he is doing.Patrick click back on flop was also weird tho.Why would u go nuts with Q9hearst on this board.Even him playing lots of hand is unlikely he has a 3 and even if he has it he migh slowplay it decent amount.
Absolutely idiotic to work as hard as he does and get so greedy.
I can hear him screaming right now!!!!
I know exactly how Eric Feels. I did this once in a $1 - $2 for $100.
@@williambenson8641 I don’t think Eric cares about the money. Think poker is more an ego thing for him.
I hope its not just me absolutely loving watching Eric lose big pots.
It’s not just you, Eric is a fool. Not even smart enough to know he’s drawing dead when Antonius shows his hand. I laughed.
nah, most of us probably love it. He is a terrible human being imo.
I like how $67,000 is described as being "left with crumbs". I wish someone would toss a few crumbs my way!
More money than I've ever had or seen in my entire life 😢
Needless to say, Persson finally stopped talking after that.
I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣
he stopped talking REAL quick lol
lol not much to say after that i suppose
Set almost a million on fire. I’ve only seen the Joker do that, but this guy is a bigger clown.
@@timpayne1057 why is this Persson so serious? 🤡
I watched this 30 times already, can't get enough. When Eric calls for a Queen or a Nine you can hear someone muffling a laugh...lol simultaneously I did the same. The largest punt in Poker history.
Eric is a truck, but I think that was him laughing. Minus him, there is a lot of class ay the table.
Don't laugh at the fish.
I had to watch it 10 times to get the magnitude of that pot and hands.
@Mark Vanderkam Wow that’s quite the theory in 🤡🌍 anything’s possible
He hasn’t seen Patrick’s cards smart guy when he saw he says I’m drawing dead
Eric is stunnnned. I can’t stop laughing, when he says 9 or Q and the table has to remind him Patrik hit the Ace and he’s dead. Almost felt bad.
Right dude believed he still had outs...NOT drawing dead 👻
That was definitely the best part of the whole delicious thing………
LOLLL I didn't pay attention to when he said that 🤣🤣
Almost
Almost
Persson makes JRB look like Phil Ivey 😂
Not just the biggest pot, but the single biggest giga punt in poker history too. Absolutely wild.
Once upon a time, I saw this one guy at 10NL blasting off pretty wildly too.
how bad is this play?... can you put in words? I cant ...and I speak 4 languages
@@razersedge2k974 shhhh don't expose me
@@eastyyy22 I think his name was SneakyBucky
Pretty sure Triton has had much bigger pots
It's comical how Eric thinks he somehow intimidates other players.....such a clown
Antonius doesn't get intimidated. He only plays logically and leaves the emotions at the door.
Patrik is such a balanced player he just moved through the hand textbook and handles the betting without any change in emotion.
He's close to the number 1 spot in all time losses.. wtf you on about?
@@JSp8 is this true? I can’t find anything online confirming that at all
@@JSp8 I do not know where you get those numbers. He is probably the best all around cash player in the World.
@@jasonkiselis2866you're right, i'm wrong. My apologies.. I've muddled up Patriks career with Gus Hansons. As you were
@@Alkcjebbzhybaxbbush Nah i was totally wrong. I was thinking of Gus Hanson. My bad✌️
Eric thinks it's possible to scare all poker players with his big bets, but now one of the world's best came to visit 😁
Hard to scare the nuts.
Nuts?!?! Do you know what full house is?!?!
Antonius is an absolute beast in cash game for more than 2 decades now. What a legend. Deserve this historical pot.
Yeah. I would be very careful with Patrick
Patrick read that dude like a book.
Eric Persson was also part of this pot. He made historical punt.
The sense of schadenfreude of watching Persson punting close to a million dollars could not be more palpable! Especially when he called for a queen or a nine!
Lol is Schadenfreude actually a english word?
@@janheubeck8083 it’s a German word.
I love how Eric snap-raises the flop without even taking a moment to consider what he’s repping by doing so. The value combos that want to get more money in against an uncapped aggressor’s range are few and far between. Then he tries to give Patrick the badass stare-down as if he just made some genius play.
It's been a WILD few days in the live-stream poker streets, and this historic moment is the best icing on the cake. What a banger!
There’s not a professional poker player out there (including helmuth) who I would rather see lose more than Persson.
best comment on here, love when he loses
Sure do too!
@@narele25now that he lost all his chips, I'd agree with you lol
agreed
@@EZ_Case his game hasnt evolved since then either...
Someone should tell Persson cocaine is not his friend at a poker table 🤭
I can't believe I just witnessed the biggest punt in poker history! Eric may be an action junkie, but he just donated a massive sum to one of the greatest players in the game. Congratulations to Patrik for taking down the record-breaking pot and solidifying his status as a true legend of the felt!
Eric Persson keeps breaking his own records, the 🐐
What are you talking about?guy lost 12M$ since he is active on high stakes scene😂
He keeps pushing it in with inferior odds,how is that a goat?
@@hancocksucks3300 lol he lost the biggest pot ever in US live stream history, only to lose an even bigger pot a couple weeks later - thereby breaking his own record and retaining his status as the 🐐
@@sportspokerguy3506 you clearly don’t understand the term “goat”
@@hancocksucks3300 brother I’m being funny, you don’t understand sarcasm
@@sportspokerguy3506 the fact that you think thats funny is funny to me, so you kinda succeeded
He made that call for 542k after only 13 seconds of thinking. So impressive. I loved watching him be in high alert throughout the hand once he realises it's for big money. You can see his eyes go left right thinking at high intensity.
I guess when there’s already 900k in the pot it was a relatively easy call
I mean if u fold this against crazy player like person u should not sit at the table.Even against a 3 u have some outs and 3 is unlikely and person will have full house close to 0% of the time here.
@@user-ly5oo2hd7p right persson isn’t jamming a boat there, he’d want Patrick to get there if he has hearts so he would’ve just called
It wasn't likely Eric had pocket Aces. Eric did not reraise preflop. Patrick only pause because of the amount of money but it was an easy call. I would call that even if its means walking home a hundred miles.
This format has a 20 second clock
Patrik has been waiting for his moment and the boom, $2mil pot
Yeah it is like Jamie The fish Gold is back in town.
People said he's boring to watch because he doesn't play big pots - hes way smarter than that. He waited patiently for this spot.
Patrick didnt hesitate very long. Against robi he folds. Against the fish perrson it's a insta call
yea im thinking his strategy is working for him. just wait for the biggest idiot to make big mistakes
@@Zenigundam Me: Sees clip headline. Also me: "Hahaha...Pearson got stacked."
Mr. Dr. Batman is for sure laughing right now lol
I nominate this hand as the most satisfactory hand of all time! Persson pulling all his bullying tactics and failing, not only in the end but on every single street. The flop 3 bet is oh-so-sweet and the river call without taking a long time is legendary. The completely dejected look on Persson after his every bully move failed.
Add to this that Persson is totally dead on the turn with all the money in (I need a queen or a 9....ummm) and a gentle legend like Antonius not even having to sweat the river (that high stakes poker hand with Jamie Gold was so annoying where Antonius got so unlucky) and winning a massive pot.
"Left with crumbs" "He is down to just $67,000" HAHAHAAHAHAAHAH
Right! Must be nice
Patrick, dude is getting to OG status, hasn’t aged a bit AND is still mixing it up with the best. Not to mention one of the BEST poker faces in the game.
As we say here in Finland, IMHO his face a bit like a "peura ajovaloissa (in ajovalot)"...
His wife is middle eastern too. We mideasterners are proud of who our women are choosing.
He is OG. There’s not many players with his longevity in high stakes cash games. In the same league with Ivey, Negreanu and Dwan
I think at 0:50, Eric is making fun of Antonius (doing an impression of him saying he wants to be out of position). And Antonius just laughs at him. I’m not sure why but this feels quite prophetic.
The ultimate punt, so enjoyable to watch.
I think all that table talk on the flop gave away to Antonius that Eric didn’t have a boat , a extremely savvy live player like Antonius picks up on all that stuff eric says , I think all that table talk helped make the call a lot easier on the turn for Antonius
Perssons nervous body language right before the all in is a complete tell in it self.
Persson's ego vs Antonius' brain in this hand
I absolutely love Eric. Action junkie. He is just so easy to read.
you're right specially with the nuts poker face in history Patrick antonios
He's one of my favorite players to have on these games
I’m sure your mom loves him as well 😉
The modern Bill Perkins (The Businessman), only not as bad.
@@mrheckles6076 I think Bill would be a significant favorite in nearly any full ring cash game or especially if he and Persson played heads up. Not saying that even as a diss on Eric, but Bill has put in a ton of work on his game with very solid coaches.
Watching this live on PokerGO. Persson was so speechless when Patrick called and saw he’s up against AK hearts, he actually thought 9 or Q was an out for him without realizing that Patrick hit the A on the turn and he’s drawing dead 😂 friggin epic. At this point the 600k side bet is Patrick’s to lose!
Context on the side bet please
@@jaimeramirez2412person who wins the most money during the session wins $600k . Each player put up $100k
Eric looks c👀ked, all speedy like.
And lose it he did…
Did he lose a huge pot?
Would of loved to see Antonious ask if he wants to run it twice 😂😂
Oh, would you of?
Persson would have snapped asked Run 5x🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@iLLicitNz78OMG 😂😂😂 patrick is too classy but can you imagine if he agrees to 5 times, then nobody says anything, they actually start, and after the 1st one comes persson finally realizes he's drawing dead 😂😂
Persson better hope his casinos do well. The money he’s using is just burning up 🔥
"Left with scraps" 67k left...and still considerably more than my entire net worth 😂😪
LOL yes you are the scrap master indeed.
Yes both what he had left and $67K are scaps
@@MrSTYLORICAN love me some scaps
Scrappy Do where are you?
This is the kind of guy that a player like Antonios has dreamed of playing his entire life. Just an aggro fish with infinity money
This is the type of player anyone at practically any stakes you would wanna play with
@@xtremev1 Yes sir!
I guarantee you in 1 year you won’t see Persson playing poker.
6 months.
His ridiculous company bankrupt too
Patrick is a savage beast! Always was. Fascinating hand!
Although Eric was readable like a newspaper in this particular one, specifically when he said "let's go," he automatically puts himself in a draw.
Update: Patrik just lost a 1.2M pot to Robl. Patrick flopped middle set , Robl flipped nut straight
Update 2: Patrik 4bets (JJ) pre to 100k, and gets 300k 5bet from Robl (KK). Patrik folds.

What a punt
Eagles could of used him in the Superbowl.
Yeah, mother of all punts.
Eric: nice hand Patrick
Patrick: yes
The only thing worse the Persson's play was the commentary on this hand. We'd rather hear what the players say than a commentator drowning it all out screaming a play by play of what we can clearly see and could have heard happening.
Agreed
This guy is all time Punt Master. Wow. Congratulations Eric and Patrik.
Congrats to Eric for losing all that much money 😂
Patrik now won the biggest online and televised pots ever (not counting crypto etc). 14 years apart!!!! Pretty sick...
What pot online was it? How much and against who?
you got too much time on your hands if you know this stuff
Against Isildur1 in Omaha, Isildur had just a draw
@@noelsen1337 I was going to say viktor blom. Aka isildur! It was for around a million wasn’t it?
It's all over baby!
thats fantastic show pogergo. Ill like to see all those wsops by espn on twitch 24/7.
I’ve been watching Antonius for twenty years. He’s cold-blooded but even he looked nervous and hesitated just a moment before that snap! Sick.
I have never seen Patrik appear to be nervous before a call. it looked like his heart was beating out of his chest on that all in
Agreed , do you feel the voice . The release was Persson show q9 hearts … sweets . Rack and cash out , the pots is a wsop or wpt title
He dosen't look nervous to me, ez call... 🤣🤣🤣 for 2milli
Yeah. All in with almost a million. Insane
He is getting old that is why. Young Antonius was more of a beast.
well its a call of half a million with two pairs. eric could have A8 easily, a surpris set of 88, very unlikely quad 3's. lets pretend this is real money.
Love it!! Pearson has a way of saying these back handed compliments and needles. He is in way over his head here. Even young isn’t that big of a fish. So unnecessary, paired board, Patrick was showing lots of strength. Snap raising like that is such a tell toward a draw. Watch Pearson on his nutted hands, he always takes time. Patrick knew he had him.
You're 100% spot on and he did the same crap on day 1/2 which I'm sure everyone watched later. Patrik knew he had him
Yeah spot on analysis there, and right to the point. Another tell was steam coming out of Persson's ears. The way he handled chips, jerky movements, leaned forward.. He looked like he was on full tilt.
Televised? Where was this televised?
Where is the stream?
Persson punted so hard they're still looking for the ball.
Super! It's going to be a great year! Thank you Patrik!
Like that, Antonius is always CALM.
Is day 3 not streamed for free?
Great to see Patrick coming back like this, after he couldn't find into the game on the first day. He was patient enough to not force it, and when he finally got into the zone, he took full advantage multiple times. I thought he has lost that skill in the past, but men, was I wrong.
This was hilarious. Yesterday he got back to even and was like "I am taking over the table" Then this happens. Gets 700k in drawing dead. ROFLL
Can't help thinking that Persson's non sequitur response to Patrick's "What do you have?" gave away Eric's weakness. Patrick's wasn't expecting a response, but seconds after Persson spoke Patrick showed no hesitation at all.
Are you npcs self aware?
I think I love this. Wow. This might be the most satisfying punt I’ve ever seen. Serves him right to lose that much on a very poorly played hand of NLHE.
Awesome.
I’ve been waiting for a hand like this. Persson got what was coming.
Don't be a hater.
@@okiepokertraveler1718 The thing is, Persson is often very nasty and unpleasant, and invites hate. If you don't want haters, don't be hateful.
@@tgbedini Problem with being a hater is it effects you, not them. Whether they deserve it or not you're the one that gets the poison, not them. Hatin is bad.
@okiepoker …. Don’t be telling other people what they like or don’t like ….
It was a MATHEMATICAL CERTAINTY that Perrson would stack off said it 5 times yesterday. Only wish I had the roll to play w that donkey I'd take all his chips everytime. He's a fish
It's so fitting this record is Eric punting off his stack and Patrick taking it down composed as can be - awesome
Wow, Antonius is my idol. Only best wishes to him. I'm happy.
When will they Show day three?
What tournament is this?
Been waiting for this to happen, the only question was who would be the lucky one. This line-up and format will do this to him 90% of the time. My pick was for MJ to take his stack (he was reading Persson like a book on the two previous streams).
Antonius a true pro. Different than just being stupid agressive on a low strength draw. A lot of people fold to that big money over agressive behavior - so guys like Eric keep doing it. Pays off when you have the nuts.
He was way too aggressive. To me it was similar to the way many bots play. He deserved to lose that pot.
i do not know anyone who folds there , even if he did have a set which was unlikley , you had outs
@holdem5180 about the only thing you can realistically put Eric on that is beating ahkh on the turn is exactly ad3d. theres no other a3 suited combos available. 88 I guess. After the turn A Patrik is beating everything else he could have and its Patrik so he knows it.
I don't know how much poker Eric has played. What I do know is I use to watch Patrik go at fearlessly on full tilt back in the day. After Patrik reraised him and all Eric did was call is when Patrik ruled out the boat combos he could have.
Its as if Eric got offended by Patriks raise pre. Like who does this guy think he is kinda thing. Definitely the wrong guy for Eric to try and muscle. I just don't know how he doesn't know that.
That was a gift. Waits less than 5 seconds then bluff shoves!!! What a joker
When was this?!
Persson is a gambler who happens to play poker.
"The Biggest Pot in American TV Poker History! " and the first thing you see is Eric Persson with Q9 suited... This video can only be great :D
1:30 one guy sitting there dead faced, another looking intently, bobbing his head. Patrik is a legend. No emotion ever when he is playing. You couldnt tell if he was playing 1/2 or 100/200 NL
Where is part 3?
I saw this live and was stunned…. At my luck for catching it timely more than anything else LoL
I am glad Antonius won this pot. Couldn't have happened to a better poker ambassador.
when is the next live stream?
Robl goes, “He hit the Ace”. 😂
Persson style of poker is to have more money than you and make you sweat for it. Once he meets someone who can take on his sizing, his "push around" style doesn't go far. His insta "all in" is such a tell.. he got owned... Hard
It wasn’t “insta” it was after the turn.
@@williambenson8641 you know what „insta“ mean…?
@@williambenson8641 I don't think you understood my point, but thanks
One punt to rule them all
i thought it was going to be a massive flush over flush cooler but i saw a paired board, got confused then witnessed the biggest punt in poker history
That's the sickest, most brutal thing, I've ever witnessed in poker. I felt that. I've donked my entire stack before but not for that much wow.
How is it brutal? Brutal would be hitting an out...he had NO outs...wasn't brutal at all...just awful misplaced aggression. LOL
Eric’s used to getting recreational players to fold but he ran into the Pro of all pros
I mean even the fishest rec player wouldn’t fold AKs with nut flush draw and a TPTK
Incredible call by Antony, that takes insane confidence in your game and read. Erik is very capable and does of calling pre flop with A-3
But would he keep snap raising like that if he did?
Against a guy who has an isildur's complex? No problem calling. If the opponent was a professional he might think better, but maybe he'll call anyway, who knows
Theres only one combo of Ace3 suited… cant be scared of the monsters under the bed or u wont be profitable. He’s too experienced for tht
@@elijahhudson2206he called a 4 bet out of position preflop with q9. He lead out every street and they are playing as deep as it gets. Obviously Antony made the correct call but it was an extraordinary call and not obvious. How you can disagree with that is beyond me.
@@robinchen9694 true that is suspicious but it is just as likely he is trapping as bluffing with those actions. That’s why I’m so impressed by the deeeeeeep call by A.
Crumbs?? I'll take that crumbs home!! loool
Maverick/Persson owns two cardrooms in the Seattle area. Several months ago, he made cameo appearances at both, and he brought Antonius with him. I wonder if that was before or after this hand happened...
JRB would be proud of that punt 👏🏻
I wish Phil was at the table
Phil already got deep-donged for 400k in 2 different high-stakes cash games this week he can't afford it.
or that batman guy with the needle cards.
Interesting that Antonius was there for that Durrr/Ivey hand, which was the biggest ever at the time (now 2nd biggest?).

@Mark Vanderkam but really not in these games because the cash/buyin is regulated at that high of stakes. Simply gifting someone that money gets tricky
