Tom Dwan Wins Largest Pot in Live-Stream Poker History ($3.1 Million)​

May 30, 2023

Jon SofenSenior Editor U.S.

The final day of the Hustler Casino Live $1 million buy-in game has produced some truly epic pots, but none more so than one Tom Dwan took down for $3,081,000 million — the largest pot in live-stream poker history.

About six hours into Tuesday's stream, which had more than 50,000 concurrent viewers throughout much of the night, the best hand of them all took place. When the HCL Twitter page hyped it up as the hand that will "break the internet," they weren't spewing hyperbole.

Earlier in the show, "durrrr" won a massive pot against Doug Polk, whose failed bluff attempt on the river cost him a $1.1 million pot. In that hand, Dwan tank-called both the turn on the river with a monster hand, leading some to believe he slow-rolled his opponent. While that hand was quite entertaining, it pales in comparison to one Dwan played later in the session.

Doug got half the pot for telling Tom what other guy had

For most people ....for Dwan Meh

He has played umpteen million dollar plus pots in his life, most of them NOT on TV

He started right after I was starting to lose my edge in poker.(doug)

Could never get into the charts and computer software to compete any longer online. Was such a fun time in the early to mid 2000s with soft poker games and bonus hunting casinos.

Nice win Tom ?

 

[crudebar]

I wonder how much Tom actually won himself.

Even these big time players have backers for well over 50 percent of their profit in these sorts of game.

Even Doug Polk is backed by the likes of Andrew Robl and such for these kind of stakes.

He's a Jersey boy.
Net worth 10 mil

A meager 200k pot, but one of the funnest hands I have seen in a while.....
