This title currently sits with two players on the upcoming season of High Stakes Poker that will air in the USA on April 5th. The pot size was $919,600, and while there have been pots with more money in them, this one has the current record as this particular hand was not ran twice and there were no saves for this particular hand. The names of these players is a closely guarded secret, so you will just have to wait until the next season airs to find out who they were.</I>Poker on TVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00288432340942450595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10889081.post-67120888308068573472009-01-15T00:47:00.000-05:002009-01-15T00:47:00.000-05:00Barry Greenstein's <A HREF="http://www.pokerroad.com/blogfessional/barry_greenstein/46/" REL="nofollow">blogfessional</A> from the makeup chair before playing is fascinating.
