Tony G and Loose Leon Battle in $1.8M Online Cryptopoker Pot

Antanas “Tony G” Guoga and Leon “Loose Leon” Tsoukernik battled in a $1.8million pot on the cryptopoker site, CoinPoker. The duo tangled at $1k/$2k PLO on CoinPoker and produced what is believed to be by far the biggest online pot of all time, smashing the previous record held by Patrik Antonius and Viktor Blom.

Tony G is one of the driving forces behind CoinPoker’s rise to the top of the cryptopoker world, founder of and advisor to the revolutionary blockchain technology-based platform. Leon Tsoukernik is another larger-than-life character in the poker world, owner of King’s Casino in Rozvadov and known for his love of highstakes and high-octane poker games.

Rob Yong referenced that classic Full Tilt battle when he tweeted out the Tony G vs Leon pot. Tony G: A♥ A♠ 10♠ 9♥ LeonKings: A♣ A♦ 9♣ 6♠ Flop: J♦ 2♥ J♥ Turn: 2♠ River: 4♦. Neither man is shy about playing for huge stakes, with Leon Tsoukernik in particular renowned for his monster cash games, winning and losing $millions in the course of an evening. One of his biggest losses came in Las Vegas against “Aussie” Matt Kirk – whose $600million fortune was reputed to have come from Bitcoin.
