According to HighStakesDB.com, Ilari "Ilari FIN" Sahamies (also known as "Ziigmund" on the shuttered Full Tilt Poker) took down the largest cash game pot in the history of Pokerstars earlier today.

Ilari FIN's record pot, which ended up being a bit north of $420,000, came during a six-handed $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha game that also featured the likes of Phil "MrSweets28" Galfond and Rafi Amit.

The record pot involved "Ilari FIN", "bernard-bb" and "Skjervoy". Prior to the hand taking place, "Ilari FIN" had $247,909 in his stack, "bernard-bb" had $195,609 and "Skjervoy" had $30,208.

There was $4,600 in the pot when the flop came:

Ks-2h-3s

"bernard-bb" checked, "Ilari FIN" bet $4,595, "Skjervoy" raised to $18,380, and both "Ilari FIN" and "bernard-bb" elected to make the call.

There was $59,740 in the pot when the turn card brought the 9h.

"bernard-bb" checked, "Ilari FIN" checked, "Skjervoy" pushed all-in for his remaining $10,428, "bernard-bb" raised to $91,019 and "Ilari FIN" called.

There was $252,206 in the middle when the river card brought the 3h.

"bernard-bb" bet the rest of his stack ($84,810) and "Ilari FIN" snap-called.

"Ilari FIN" turned over Kh-4c-Ah-6h for the nut flush to take down the massive pot, while "bernard-bb" turned over Ad-2d-As-7s and "Skjervoy" mucked.

The record for the biggest ever online cash game pot still belongs to Patrik Antonius, who took down a $1,356,947 monster against Viktor "Isildur1" Blom back in 2009.
