Tony GThis was posted on Tony G’s blog a few weeks ago, but it slipped through the cracks here on HSB. I was researching some other poker sites and forums, and found this amazing high stakes cash game story. Looks like everyone’s favorite foreign shit-talker managed to take down a pot worth $3.15 million pot in an ultra high-stakes cash game in Moscow, Russia! Tony G, known for his larger-than-life personality and poker game, scored a reported $5 million dollar profit for the session. Here is an excerpt from his blog .

“Now comes the biggest hand of my life so far. I hope I can play as there is a mandatory straddle of 7k and a reraise. I re-pop it to make it 85k before the flop with 4 way action. The flop is 10-7-6 with 2 diamonds giving me a nut flush draw, there is a bet of pot but the guy is close to all in so I move over the top and get called by a big stack. 3.15 million in the pot now. The cards are shown. They both have the nut straights, with one guy having a flush draw as well and the other guy having one diamond so just 6 outs for the flush or I need a pair and an Ace from space. The turn and river are both Diamonds.

And I gave out a scream and kind of lost my voice - just a little. I do get too emotional and excited with poker. Please excuse me, but I do have more fun then most playing the game.”
