Cryptocurrency poker website ‘CoinPoker’ hosted high stakes action this weekend, with celebrity player Tony G and a whale in the thick of the heads up action.
Tracked on the 2+2 poker forum, the hand began at a 1000/2000 PLO table with Tony G sitting on 547k stack, and nvoskob1986 sitting with 152k – who opened with a preflop raise to 6k.
Tony G threebet to 18k, which nvoskob1986 called, and continuation bet a rainbow flop of Ace, five, Jack.
After some deliberation nvoskob1986 raised all in, which Tony G quickly called.
