Eric Wasserson has surpassed Andrew Robl as the most successful ring-game player in televised and livestreamed poker history, following a dramatic four-day run on High Stakes Poker this past weekend.
Wasserson played all four sessions on PokerGO, winning two and losing two, but the swings were heavily in his favor. He profited nearly $3.3 million overall, highlighted by a hand that became the largest pot in High Stakes Poker history, worth more than $4.2 million, against Michael “Texas Mike” Moncek.
That massive pot came on Monday when Moncek attempted a bold bluff holding only 10-high, but Wasserson rivered a flush to scoop the $4,260,000 pot. It topped the previous day’s record pot of nearly $2.9 million, which Moncek had won against Robl.
Robl, who entered the weekend as the all-time livestream ring-game leader with $7.9 million in career profit, struggled with variance despite playing aggressively. He finished the four sessions down close to $780,000, losing his top spot to Wasserson, whose career total is now estimated near $10 million.
Alejandro “Papo MC” Lococo was the only other multi-day winner, rebounding from an early $1 million loss to finish up $624,000. Rick Salomon, meanwhile, dropped a combined $2,252,000 across three sessions.
Including his June appearance in Hustler Casino Live’s Million Dollar Game, Wasserson has won $5.9 million in recent months, cementing his rise as one of high-stakes poker’s biggest stars.
