Top 3 Cash Game Pots of 2022: Epic Wins and Record-Breaking Hands

2022 was a remarkable year for high-stakes poker, with several record-breaking cash game pots both live and online. Here are the top three pots that defined the year.

Tony G, the outspoken Lithuanian poker player, made headlines with a massive $7.7 million Omaha pot on CoinPoker. The pot, won using Tether as currency, is notable for its size and the controversy surrounding Tether's stability. Despite arguments about whether this pot should be included in the conversation, Tony G's win is undeniably one of the year's most significant moments.

In the live poker scene, Alan Keating secured the biggest cash game pot in US poker TV history at Hustler Casino Live. Keating's $1,158,000 win against Handz set a new record for the largest pot in USA broadcast history. The hand featured a king-high flush, and Keating's unwavering play against Handz's bluff was a highlight of the year.

Just one day before Keating's record-breaking win, Yoh Viral and a player named Vivian played a $907,800 pot at Live at the Bike. The action was intense, with Vivian flopping trips and Viral flopping a straight. This hand was the largest pot in USA livestream history at the time, although it was quickly surpassed by Keating's win the following day.
