BETFAIR POKER PLAYER TAKES DOWN $207K IN 29 SECONDS!


Among the highest pots ever at Betfair Poker, this one was also one of the fastest

In a hand that lasted only 29 seconds, online player Rosiepod took down one of the largest ever pots on Betfair Poker.

Having made a King High Flush after the flop, Rosiepod called several aggressive bluffs from her opponent Sincero which ended with each player contributing over $100 000 to the pot in a recent final heads up confrontation on the site.

“It takes calm nerves to play at these levels. The final bluff from Sincero cost more than $60 000. He knew that if Rosiepod called he’d be beaten, it was a gutsy play. On the other hand, from the way Sincero was betting, Rosiepod must have been concerned about the only hand that could beat him – these stakes are not for the faint hearted,” said Betfair spokesman Oliver Bowen.

Pots in excess of $150 000 are apparently becoming a regular occurrence on Betfair Poker. With a maximum rake per pot of only $1 on the $250/$500 NL HU tables there is certainly value for the big pros.

I did not realize Betfair had this high limit action after leaving Crypto. Nice to see them get ioff the ground after tmerging with Poker Champs. FWIW most sites only rake a $1 max in HU or 3 handed games, some are only $.50.
