Alan Keating Wins Record $1.158M Pot in Hustler Casino Live

Alan Keating won a $1,158,000 pot at Hustler Casino Live, setting a new record for the largest pot in USA broadcast history. The previous record was held by Tom Dwan, who won a $1,108,500 pot against Phil Ivey in 2010.

The stakes for the record-breaking hand were $200/$400/$800/$1,600. A player known as Handz raised pre-flop to $9,000 while holding As-7h. Ben Lee, Eric Persson, and Alan Keating called Handz's pre-flop raise.

The flop revealed 6s-10s-5d and a bet of $25K from Handz saw folds from Lee and Persson, while Keating called. The 4d on the turn resulted in a check from Keating and a $70,000 bet from the aggressor. Keating made the call, boosting the pot to $227,000. The dealer turned the 7s on the river, Keating hitting his king-high flush and giving Handz a pair of sevens along with his nut flush blocker. Keating decided to bet $155,000 in hopes of avoiding a check from Handz if he was to lead with a check. Handz counted Keating's chips and shoved all-in, covering the $309K in chips that Alan had remaining. Keating called Handz's all-in bet and took down the huge, record-breaking pot.
