Full Tilt Continues to Break High Stakes Records

Full Tilt Poker for some time now has been known for hosting some of the largest games on the internet and this weekend was no different with record breaking pots being scooped. Most of the action can be attributed to Full Tilt’s infamous “RailHeaven” table which brings together some of the biggest names in online poker to battle it out over $500/$1000 no limit Hold’em. Patrik Antonius, Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan are some of the well known players that regularly frequent the game.

This weekend, records were broke time and again as on four separate occasions new highs for pots were made. Tom Dwan made the first new record when he took down a cool $617,968 dollar pot in a heads up match with Lars Luzack. Dwan unfortunately wouldn’t hold onto that money. Soon after he gave up a whopping $678,000 pot to reigning WSOPE champion John Juanda. Juanda barely scathed by when he picked up a third king while holding KK against Dwan’s AA.

Phil Ivey in his normal form went on to break Juanda’s $678,000 pot when he pumped the pot pre flop and made a set of tens which gifted him with an impressive $690,000 pot. The fourth and final record again involved Tom Dwan who has become well known and liked for his massive swings! “Urindanger” took down a huge pot of almost three quarters of a million dollars when he was blessed with $723,938.

RailHaven is an aptly named table being that it regularly produces massive record breaking nights. The biggest names in poker gather on Full Tilt to play in some of the most action oriented games on the internet. Imagine that in just a few minutes, internet poker superstars are winning and losing more money in one hand than some will ever earn in a lifetime!
