Blinds $500/$1,000, Minimum Buy-In $300,000!
The Perks of the Trade Week named after host and high roller Bill Perkins is currently running at PokerGo and offers high stakes action at its finest!
Blinds of $500/$1000 and a minimum buy-in of $300,000 are the features of the biggest cash game ever on Poker After Dark and the guarantee for some massive pots.
2 Pots above $700,000 in yesterday’s session
In yesterday’s legendary session we saw not less than 3 huge pots. First Rick Salomon bluffed Haralabos Voulgaris in a $382,000 pot, before Voulgaris won a massive $702,400 pot of Phil Galfond.
But that shouldn’t be the biggest pot of the night. Hollywood Homegame Hero Rick Salomon was back at it when clashing in an incredible hand with Chinese businessman Aaron Zang.
Rick Salomon wins a $926.200 Pot!
Zang flopped top set, but Salomon turned the straight and all the money amounting to a staggering $926.200 went into the middle.
Blank on the river and Rick not only shipped the biggest pot of the night, but also killed the game.
Biggest pot in the history of televised poker incoming?
The only question now is, if we can see a 1 Million Dollar Pot or even the biggest pot ever in televised poker history?
Watch the biggest pots from yesterday’s session here:
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, and try again. Three barrels (and some ) for the #PokerAfterDark win https://t.co/TeDeb5Xmhx pic.twitter.com/YLkTOfXEQY

The lineup and players of Perks of the Trade
Bryan Rast
Rast has over $20,000,000 in live earnings and over $800,000 in online earnings. Rast has appeared on Poker After Dark and also the cash games that have been running on Poker Go. Generally considered as a solid player and likely to be a decent winner in this field.
Bill Perkins
Bill Perkins has been given the nickname “The Businessman” and is considered as a rather splashy player who’s likely to get involved in some crazy pots. Apart from absolutely crushing the buisness scene he’s an avid amateur who doesn’t mind getting a bit frisky. Lots of straddling and double straddling incoming!
Haralabos Voulgaris
Over $3,000,000 in live earnings including a 4th place in the $111,111 NLHE High Roller for One Drop for over a million, Haralabos “Bob” Voulgaris plays most of the biggest games on the planet including MTT’s and Cash Games. He’s a dark horse in this field as he’s an extremely strong creative player and is likely to book a winning session.
Phil Galfond
Phil Galfond is an absolute beast who’s been crushing online/live NLHE and PLO for a long long time. After booking multiple wins on Poker After Dark and considered to be one of the best players in the world and has no problems making exciting plays and exploiting the weaker spots on the table. He’s a huge winner online in MTT and Cash Games nd has over $2,000,000 in live earnings too. Beware of this one, he’s dangerous!
Rick Salomon
This playboy poker batchelor who was married to Pamela Anderson has been on the cash game and tournament scene for some time now. A movie producer and actor who’s ammassed over $6.3m in live earnings and is very well known for his crazy 4-bet pots and leading into pots with 6 high! Pure entertainment value for the game but is expected to be a large loser or winner. Absolute variance with this one.
Aaron Zang
A businessman from Shanghai, China who’s a complete unknown entity in this game. Has over $700,000 in live tournament earnings and often plays in the big games in Macao. Expect wide 3-bets, large pots and outrageous bluffs. A complete wild-card in this game. Looking at his background, it’s gonna be another big winner or loser, but in this field with Rast and Galfond being the most established players he’s gonna find it tough to book a win.
