Biggest Cash Game ever on Poker After Dark!
Blinds of $500/$1000 and a minimum buy-in of $300,000 were the outstanding features of the Poker After Dark Perks of the Trade Week and a Guarantee for massive action.
In fact, these were the biggest blinds ever played in a cash game on Poker After Dark.
The Lineup
The lineup was a nice mix of the best cash game players in the world such as Daniel “Jungleman” Cates, Brian Rast, Doug Polk and Phil Galfond and rich businessman and highroller like Aaron Zang and Bill Perkins.
The latter are big action players and not afraid to get a lot of money into the pot, so expectations were already high, but they were exceeded big time with some of the biggest pots in TV poker history!
If you have missed the show or you don’t have a PokerGO account, you can watch the biggest pots and most interesting spots of Poker After Dark Perks of the Trade below.
Legendary Day 1 with a 1 Million Dollar Pot
Perks of the Trade was a 3-day event and usually the action in a cash game starts slow and as soon as the stacks get deeper or someone has lost a huge pot the action kicks off.
This was not the case here as Day 1 became absolutely legendary with 3 huge pots one of them worth 1 Million Dollar!
Watch the biggest pots from Perks of the Trade below:
Aaron Zang vs Daniel Cates: $336,500 Pot
Rick Salomon vs Haralabos Voulgaris: $382,500 Pot
