Wiktor ‘limitless’ Malinowski is mustard at No Limit Hold’em cash games, and he recently offered a heads-up challenge to anyone, playing while drunk, while guesting on the Joey Ingram podcast. Michael Addamo is one of the world’s top multi-table tournament (MTT) artists with more than $8.3m in live tournament earnings and two WSOP bracelets to his name.
Both Addamo and Malinowski were competing alongside Chris Brewer, Tan Xuan and the anonymous Maltese falcon ‘UnderO’ in an invitation-only VIP cash game on GGPoker’s Natural8 skin, with blinds $500/$1000 with a $1000 Ante, when the pair locked horns, thumbs and fingers in the following hand.
Sitting behind 400+ big blind stacks, the action folded to Malinowski who looked down to see two black aces in the cutoff. The Pole opened to $2,000, folds followed until Addamo three-bet to $14,000 from the big blind holding two black kings. Malinowski four-bet to $43,500, Addamo five-bet to $108,000, and Malinowski made the call.

With more than $216,000 in the pot, a 7h5d2c flop beckoned both to continue their love for this hand, with Addamo’s proving to be unrequited. Addamo bet $71,775, and Malinowski made the call.
T he 2006 WSOP Main Event holds the distinction of being the largest tournament in poker history boasting a total pool of $82,512,162. Due to the whopping number of players—8,773 that year—there were four separate starting days. The four groups played down to two, then to one, and eventually the final table of nine began on August 8. Durrrr vs Urindanger: $723,941. The list ends as it started: with a huge pot between durrrr. With 2,483 entrants, this was the biggest Pot-Limit Omaha competition in live poker history. It shattered the old record set previously at the WSOP. In fact, it was the largest live non-Hold'em tournament ever held. Most of the biggest pots in online poker history have been at the Pot-Limit Omaha tables, and the majority of those were played on the now-defunct Full Tilt Poker site. The record was set by Patrik.
You could hear the footfall of the 9c on the fourth street, and Malinowski called a $100,146.50 Addamo bet. The 5s finished the action on the river, and Malinowski called when Addamo moved all-in for his remaining $140,547.80.
The final tally was a spacious looking $842,438.62, a new record, beating the $723,941 that went the way of ‘Urindanger’ in a mirror of a hand that saw his pocket aces out-flop, turn and river the pocket kings of Tom Dwan back in the halcyon days of Full Tilt.

Biggest Pot In The World
Earlier the biggest pot was just exceeding $600,000 and was taken by Cirque de Soleil founder Guy LaLiberte holding only a pair of deuces. Tom Dwan was the 1st to break that record, won picking up $617,968 with top 2 pair in opposition to a $275,000 trick following a long sitting playing heads-up $500/$1,000NL with Lars Luzack.
Afterward, durrr lost the biggest pot ever of online poker to John Juanda after getting it all-in pre-flop with AA and KK correspondingly. Juanda’s 3-outer came viciously on the river and the World Series of Poker Europe champion got a $678k pot.
Afterward, Phil Ivey flopped a set of 10s following some heavy pre-flop action and check-raised all in. Juanda called off with K8ss for the 2nd-nut flush draw and did not hit. Ivey won a $690k pot.
Urindanger won Ivey’s mantle and the biggest in the history of online pot. Urindanger increased from middle place to $3,000 and Guy LaLiberte called. Durrr swiftly squeezed to $16,300 and it folded back to Urindanger, who four-bet to $45,000. Durrr called, leaving stacks of around $300,000 behind. The flop appeared 594 with 2 hearts and Urindanger bet out. Durrr raised and Urindanger shoved, getting an insta-call. Again, durrr was in an AA v KK state, but this time he was the unlucky loser. The turn and river blanked out and brought a $723,938 pot – the biggest ever.
