The stories of poker history are littered with massive online poker cash game pots, with eye-watering amounts of money getting won in the blink of an eye by some of the biggest names in online poker history.
Every poker railbird wants to catch a glimpse of the big names in action, with even bigger money up for grabs.
In 2020, the record for largest No-Limit Hold'em online cash game pot was broken twice in one week on GGPoker. Wiktor Malinowski broke a record previously held by Tom Dwan when he won an $842,000 pot against Michael Addamo, before Ali Imsirovic beat that with a new record of almost $975k.

Tony G and Tsoukernik Back in the Fray
This isn't the first time Tsoukernik has been involved in a notable online poker hand. Back in July 2020, he was involved in a five-way all in on the GGPoker cash game tables. He held j♦️10♦️ but his four opponents held aces, kings, queens and jacks, with queens flopping a set to win a six-figure pot.
Tony G meanwhile is enjoying a successful return to poker, after winning two events in 2021 at the Super High Roller Series Europe. He resigned from the Lithuanian parliament early last year citing dissatisfaction with a member of the Labor Party.
