High-Stakes Poker Showdowns: Tommy Corbin vs. durrrr and Jason Mercier's Insane Call


The world of high-stakes poker is filled with intense moments and strategic decisions. One such moment involved Tommy "I Win Flips" Corbin playing against durrrr on FullTilt in a $25/$50 NL Hold'em Cash Game.

In this high-stakes showdown, Tommy "I Win Flips" Corbin raised to $150 pre-flop with Ah Qd, and durrrr raised to $475. The action continued with both players checking on the turn, which showed 2h 7c 7s Qs. The river brought the 3d, and Tommy "I Win Flips" Corbin considered pushing all-in, given the effective stacks were around 10k.

Another notable hand involved Jason Mercier, who made an insane call with a fourth pair all-in on a paired board where a straight was possible. This hand occurred in a 4-max EPT San Remo 2008 game, where Mercier's opponent was a French player. Ivan "Soul" Demidov also shared his experience playing against Leatherass9, a high-stakes regular, in a 5-10 game.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
