Poker History Made: Ketola Wins Record $12.7M Pot
Poker fans witnessed a thrilling match this week as Ossi 'Monarch' Ketola and Bjorn 'AsianFlushie' Li battled it out. The $12.7M pot they played for was named PokerOrg Hand of the Week, breaking the record for the largest-ever televised pot twice in the same week.
The pot's size was no fluke. Ketola, after being down to $2M, mounted a remarkable comeback. A crucial turn card allowed him to make a full house with pocket nines, surging him into the lead. Li, with pocket eights, called off nearly 100 big blinds, but Ketola's hand held up. Wiktor 'Limitless' Malinowski, in a similar spot against Ketola, had passed, highlighting the risk Li took.
Ketola's full house resulted in the largest-ever pot in televised poker history, a staggering $12.7M. The PokerOrg Hand of the Week award is a testament to the excitement and skill displayed by both players in this high-stakes match.
