Patrik Antonius just won the largest ever pot in online poker history a few minutes ago - a $1,356,946.50 monster against "Isildur1" on Full Tilt Poker.

This pot didn't just beat the previous record for the largest ever online poker cash game pot - it obliterated it.

Prior to the epic hand taking place, "Isildur1" had about $678k in his stack, while Antonius had about $1.26 million. The game was $500/$1000 Pot Limit Omaha.

"Isildur1" had the button and raised to $3,000. Antonius stuck in a re-raise, and the two were soon involved in a pre-flop raising war. By the time that the two players saw a flop, there was already over $160k in the pot.

The flop came:

4s-5c-2h

Antonius led out with a bet of $91,000. "Isildur1" re-raised to $435,000, Antonius made it $779,000, and "Isildur1" called all-in.

Antonius showed:

Ah-3s-Ks-Kh for a five-high straight, a pair of Kings and two back-door flush draws.

"Isildur1" showed:

6d-9s-7d-8h for a wrap straight draw.

The turn brought the 5h, moving Antonius even further ahead in the hand.

The river brought the 9c, and Antonius was shipped the massive $1.35 million dollar pot with his five-high straight.

As if that wasn't enough, Antonius won an $800k pot a short time later.

The board read 4h-9d-6h-6c when the two players got the rest of their stacks into the middle of the table.

The river brought the 8c, giving Antonius the ten-high straight and the $810k pot.
