So there I was, just logged on to Full Tilt and as usual before I sit down at a table I like to have a browse through the high stakes tables across all poker variants to see who's playing. Sometimes if the games are juicy I'll rail for ten minutes just to watch some huge pots.
Today I came across what looked like a huge Omaha Hi game going. I had never heard of any of the players but it looked like most people were sat down with in excess of $200k in front of them.
So there I was, Id just come into the game in the middle of this hand and here is what happened! Amazing!
Full Tilt Poker Game #2437179612: Table 1041 - 1000/2000 - Pot Limit Omaha - 7:15:57 ET - 2007/05/16 (partial)

So I'm in semi-shock here, did i just witness a $700,000 pot! Just insanity, imagine that much money changing hands in one go, thats just under what I earn a year (haha!). Well I watched a few more hands, the average was over a $100k per hand and I jus couldn't believe it!
After a while I got bored and headed back to holdem to find myself a table, however when I clicked on the holdem tab the highest stakes that were being player were $10K/$2ok...a flag popped up in the back of my head. You can't play this high on Full Tilt I thought to myself, whats happened, especially since there are a couple of tables full at these stakes.
I looked around for some clue, or an answer and it was then it dawned on me! While switching variants I'd clicked on frickin play money! I didn't just witness a $700k pot, id witnessed play money dudes throwing around worthless play chips!! LOL!
What a donk!

When I read your post, I didn´t notice it at first either. That is partly because I have seen many PLO pots of over $100K. I should have the screen recording somewhere of a pot of $111K involving Phil Ivey on Full Tilt.
On PokerStars the pots for PLO are often bigger than for NL Holdem at the same blinds. It´s a crazy game :D And it´s all I play these days.
Hahah classic!
I've done that before aswell.
Wonder if these guys get excited at winning $700k of play chips.
LMAO! GG observation!

Wombol,
When I come to your blog or http://poker.onbloglist.com, your logo makes my anti-virus go nuts. I don't knwo much, but prehaps the file is infected?
link to screenshot
Portdeco - Added a link back, cheers for the spot on your blog.
Main - Thats worrying! I've removed the offending link to my logo and reuploaded it to Blogger so hopefully that should solve the problem. I don't know if anyone else has found that problem, no computer I have used has flagged through their virus protection.
Fingers crossed, let me know if it persists and I'll have another look.
cheers
lol... just lol
Imagine, those guys are betting the equivalent of play mortgages on single hands!
lol, exactly! would hate to think what their play wives would think if they knew what their husbands were doing with their play pay checks!
