Not everyone Needs a Premium Hand: Huge $466k pot Between Stacks & Peter

Who would have guessed this pot would have escalated as quickly as it did. Let’s take a closer look at this huge $466k pot that occurred during a Super high Stakes game on Hustler Casino Live. It was live streamed on Hustler Casino’s YouTube channel on the 5th January 2024. The hand was played between Andy Stacks & Peter With the blinds being $100/$200/$400.

The action began with an $800 UTG straddle from Peter ($231,800) who had been dealt J10. In the small blind was Andy Stacks ($460,150) who put out a raise of $2,500 A2. Pepe (269,700) in the big blind made the call with AJ.The action was now on the straddler who fired out a hefty 3-bet of $12,800. Undeterred by being out of position Andy went for an aggressive approach, 4-betting it to $40,000. This was enough to see Pepe muck his cards, Peter however liking his suited connectors made the call. going to the flop there was $82,900 in the middle. Who needs premiums hands hey?

The flop came down 9A8 giving Stacks a pair of aces & Peter an up and down straight draw. First to act Andy checked it over to his opponent who put out a modest bet of $25,000. Although Andy’s kicker was unfavourable the board was extremely wet, Peter’s bet could mean a multitude of different things. Stack’s made the call and to the turn they went with $132,900 in play.

Bingo! The Dream Turn for Peter

Bingo! the dream turn card for Peter, the 7 completed his straight draw. First to act Andy once again checked it over, which was met by a sneaky check back from Peter.

On the river the 3 was revealed, had Peter been drawing to a flush that had now missed. This time first to act Andy led out with a bet of $25,100 which screamed of a blocker bet. Obviously there was no chance in hell Peter would flat here he had the stone cold nuts. “All in” was the play, as $166,800 was shipped in the middle. At this stage Andy could of course only beat a bluff? had his blocker bet induced a bluff? well that was perhaps his thinking as he made the call. What a pot for Peter to Ship, $466k going his direction.
