High Stakes Poker : a pot of over $1.4 million

2025-04-01 - POULENARD David

Alan Keating wins the biggest pot in High Stakes Poker history

With Rick Salomon, Alan Keating, Nik Airball, and Peter Wang, this episode of Season 14 of High Stakes Poker — filmed in the PokerGO studios in Vegas — reached new heights in terms of stakes. This was best illustrated by a record-breaking pot played between pro Alan Keating and Peter Wang, an Asian-born player who has now become a regular in this prestigious game.

With blinds at $500/$1,000 — apparently not high enough for the participants — two straddles were in play, prompting Keating to just call with pocket kings. From the big blind, Wang decided to raise to $14,000 with {As} {3s}. The perfect moment for Keating to spring into action, 3-betting to $69,000, which Wang called.

The flop {2s} {Js} {Kc} gave Keating top set and Wang a nut flush draw. The Asian player opted for a check-raise to $200,000 after Keating’s $70,000 continuation bet — a raise that Keating quickly called. The {Ah} on the turn didn’t slow Wang down, who instantly shoved for $412,500 — again, called by Keating. The two players agreed to run it twice: the first river {Ad}, the second {Jd}, giving Alan Keating the entire pot of $1,412,500. A new record for the franchise, smashing the previous high of $992,000 set back in Season 12.
