High Stakes Poker Delivers Huge Pots, Insane Hero Calls, and Record-Breaking Hands
Monday’s episode of High Stakes Poker Season 14 brought the action fans love, with massive pots, jaw-dropping calls, and some of the wildest hands ever televised. Alan Keating stole the spotlight with an unbelievable hero call, and the episode nearly featured the largest pot in High Stakes Poker history—depending on how you count it.
From start to finish, Episode 6 was a rollercoaster, featuring big names from Hustler Casino Live, including Ryan Feldman and Alan Keating, as well as several other deep-pocketed players battling in a high-stakes cash game where single pots reached over $1 million.
Action-Packed Start with Strong Hands
The episode kicked off with a bang as Peter picked up pocket kings (K♦K♣) and raised to $3,000. Vinny, who had just taken Marc Kulick’s seat, called with A♣Q♠, while David (9♦9♣) and Steve (A♦6♥) also came along.
The flop (10♥3♣7♣) gave Peter the best hand, and after a round of checks, he bet $7,000, drawing calls from both Vinny and David. The turn (2♠) changed nothing, but Peter ramped up the aggression with a $31,000 bet, forcing Vinny to fold. David, still holding pocket nines, stuck around.
On the 10♠ river, David made a bold $40,000 bet, but Peter sniffed it out and made the correct call, raking in a $175,400 pot right out of the gate.
Alan Keating’s Hero Call for $911K
One of the most impressive calls in televised poker history came when Alan Keating found himself in a high-stakes game of poker chicken.
• The hand began with Steve raising to $1,400 with 8♠6♣, and Peter (6♠3♠) and Keating (9♦7♦) joining the action.
• On the A♣7♠K♠ flop, Keating hit bottom pair, while Peter flopped a flush draw.
• Steve fired out $4,000, but Peter raised to $13,000. Keating, undeterred, made it $41,000, forcing Steve out while Peter called.
• The 6♥ turn gave Peter a weak pair, leading Keating to bet $58,000. Peter responded with a $175,000 raise, yet Keating refused to fold.
• The 4♥ river changed nothing, and Keating checked. Peter shoved for $235,000, but Keating trusted his instincts and made the call with just a pair of sevens, winning a $911,000 pot.
Poker commentator Nick Schulman called it “one of the coolest hands I’ve ever seen.” Even Keating admitted, “Neither of us had much, but we made a game of chicken out of it.”
Did High Stakes Poker See Its Biggest Pot Ever?
The night almost produced a new record for the biggest pot in High Stakes Poker history.
• Peter raised to $4,000 with A♠Q♦, and Keating three-bet to $25,000 with A♦Q♠—the same hand, just different suits.
• The Q♣K♦Q♥ flop gave both players trip queens with an ace kicker, setting up a monster clash.
• Keating bet $35,000, Peter called, and the 8♥ turn led to more fireworks—Keating bet $79,000, and Peter raised to $229,000.
• Keating shoved for $499,000, and Peter snap-called, creating a $1,120,200 pot—but because they held the same hand, they chopped the pot.
While the number broke the $1 million mark, it won’t go down as the largest official pot in High Stakes Poker history. That record still belongs to Santhosh Suvarna, who won $992,000 in Season 13.
Keating and Feldman Suffer a Brutal Beat
Ryan Feldman had one of the roughest runs of the season, and his struggles continued in the episode’s final hand.
• Keating raised to $14,000 with A♦A♣, while Feldman (J♦9♣) and Peter (K♦7♦) called.
• The J♥K♣9♦ flop gave Feldman bottom two pair and Peter top and bottom pair, while Keating’s pocket aces were suddenly in trouble.
• Keating bet $28,000, Feldman called, and Peter hit a dream card—the K♠—on the turn, making trips.
• Action checked to Peter, who bet $85,000. Keating called, while Feldman made a painful fold knowing he was now drawing dead.
• The Q♥ river brought a four-card straight, causing both players to check. Peter scooped a $297,400 pot, leaving both Keating and Feldman shaking their heads.
Recapping an Action-Packed Season 14
Season 14 of High Stakes Poker has already been one of the most exciting in recent memory. If you missed past episodes, here’s a quick look at the action so far:
• Episode 1: Jared Bleznick suffers a $450K bad beat in the season opener.
• Episode 2: A recreational player endures a nightmare session.
• Episode 3: A brutal beat sends a $600K pot to the wrong player.
• Episode 4: One of the strangest hands ever played unfolds.
• Episode 5: A player folds what would have been a near $1M pot.
