Alan Keating Wins Record-Breaking $1,412,500 Pot on High Stakes Poker

Alan Keating has etched his name into the annals of poker history by clinching a staggering $1,412,500 pot during Episode 10 of the 14th season of “High Stakes Poker” on Monday. This landmark achievement unfolded at the prestigious PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, a mecca for high-stakes poker.

Keating’s formidable competitors included Rick Salomon—who had a noteworthy run last week, semi-bluffing his way through a $567,000 pot—along with a robust chip stack of $1.3 million in front of him. The table also featured renowned players such as Peter Wang, Nikhil “Nik Airball” Arcot, Vinny Lingham, and Justin Gavri, all of whom added to the electrifying atmosphere.

In the climactic hand that culminated in Keating’s remarkable victory, he and Wang were already deeply engaged, having built a pot of $145,500 in anticipation of a king-high flop that revealed two spades. Armed with pocket kings that flopped a top set, Keating was poised for a potential win, while Wang held a powerful nut flush draw with ace-three of spades.

The action escalated quickly when Wang check-raised Keating’s initial bet of $70,000 to $200,000, prompting a call from Keating. The turn card, an ace, granted Wang a top pair in addition to his flush draw. Seizing the moment, he pushed all-in for $433,500—a bold move that called Keating to the forefront. Without hesitation, Keating made the snap-call. The players opted to run the river twice, and as fortune smiled upon Keating, he held firm on both occasions, sealing the deal and securing the historic $1,412,500 pot.

### A Rivalry for the Ages: Keating vs. Wang

This latest showdown was not the first between Keating and Wang during Season 14; the two foes previously battled for a $911,000 pot in Episode 6, a hand that also concluded in Keating’s favor. Their ongoing rivalry has become a focal point of the season, showcasing the intensity and skill inherent in high-stakes poker.

Notably, the previous record for the largest pot in “High Stakes Poker” history stood at $992,000, won by Santhosh Suvarna during Season 12. This record was nearly eclipsed in Season 13 when Sameh Elamawy triumphed over Andrew Robl, cracking his pocket kings with ace-king to secure a $981,300 pot.
