Celebrity poker player Antanas ‘Tony G’ Guoga made headlines this weekend by winning a pot worth just over $300,000 on the CoinPoker website. The high-stakes game took place as part of the Crypto Series of Poker (CSOP), where $1 million in prize money has been made available across 41 tournaments.
During the game, Tony G, who is also the founder of CoinPoker, found himself facing off against a high-rolling user known as nvoskob1986. The stakes were high, with Tony G ultimately coming out on top with his two pair of Aces and Jacks, besting his opponent’s two pair of Aces and fives. This victory resulted in Tony G taking home the largest pot recorded by TwoPlusTwo this month.
The game began with Tony G sitting on USDT 547,323, while his opponent, nvoskob1986, had USDT 152,413. The action heated up quickly as nvoskob1986 raised the pre-flop to USDT 6,000. Tony G responded with a 3-bet to §18,000, leading to nvoskob1986 calling at USDT 12,000. The flop saw the pot rise to USDT 36,000, with Tony G betting USDT 36,750 and nvoskob1986 raising all in to USDT 133,913. Despite the high stakes, Tony G called at USDT 97,162.70, leading to an intense showdown between the two players.
In the end, Tony G emerged victorious with a hand consisting of a ten of Clubs, Jack of Clubs, three of Diamonds, and Ace of Diamonds. His opponent, nvoskob1986, revealed a five of Spades, four of Diamonds, six of Hearts, and Ace of Clubs. This winning hand allowed Tony G to take down the massive pot of roughly USDT 304,000, leaving him with a stack worth around $700,000 by the end of the night.
