For the last eight years, the largest tournament in the world has been the World Series of Poker Main Event. With the exception of 1992, the US$10,000 buy-in tournament increased in prize pool year-over-year from its start in 1970 until 2007 (the latter a result of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, which reduced the number of players winning their seats via online play).

The first tournament to reach a million dollar prize pool was the 1983 WSOP Main Event. The WSOP Main Event of 2004 had the first prize pool of above $10,000,000.

On November 21st, 2009, Patrik Antonius and Viktor 'Isildur1' Blom played the largest ever cash game pot in online poker history. Given the changes that have taken place in online poker over the recent years, there is a very good chance that this record will never be broken. Back in 2009, the biggest cash games were found on Full Tilt Poker.

  • Poker rooms began rapidly opening within a few short years. Limit Texas hold'em was the most widely played game by far in the west, and seven card stud was the most widely played game in the east from the late 1980s until 2003. In the 1990s, poker and casino gambling spread across the United States, most notably to Atlantic City, New Jersey.
  • This list includes live and online poker. Currently, 14 of the 15 largest prize pools in history have been WSOP Main Events. The second largest prize pool outside of the Main Event is the 2012 WSOP event known as The Big One for One Drop, held from July 1–3. It featured a buy-in of US$1 million, the largest in poker history.

The largest non Hold'em Tournament has been the 2008 WSOP $50K HORSE with a prize pool of $7,104,000 and the first prize of $1,989,120 going to Scotty Nguyen.[1]

Below are the 30 largest poker tournaments with respect to the prize pool in United States dollars and not number of entrants. This list includes live and online poker.

Currently, 14 of the 15 largest prize pools in history have been WSOP Main Events. The second largest prize pool outside of the Main Event is the 2012 WSOP event known as The Big One for One Drop, held from July 1–3. It featured a buy-in of US$1 million, the largest in poker history. Of the buy-in, $111,111 was a charitable donation to the One Drop Foundation, and the WSOP took no rake. All 48 seats available for that event were filled, resulting in a prize pool of $42,666,672, with over 5 million dollars donated.[2] The second largest pool for any event outside of the WSOP was the 2012 Macau High Stakes Challenge, with a HK$2 million (US$260,000) buy-in plus a rebuy option. The event drew a field of 73, of which 21 made a rebuy, resulting in a prize pool of HK$182,360,000 (slightly over US$23.5 million).[3]

All of the 30 richest tournaments to date were played in No Limit Hold'em.

Wiktor Malinowski (born 2 August 1994) is a Polish professional poker player who focuses on mid to high stakes online no limit hold 'em (NLHE) cash games. He transitioned to the live poker tournament scene in 2019. He formerly played handball professionally for the national team of Poland.[1]

Career[edit]

Malinowski started playing poker seriously in 2014. He began playing freerolls and the lowest stakes offered for online cash games. Over the next two years, he managed to become a regular at mid to high stakes online cash games playing under the alias 'limitless'. In 2018, he won the World Championship of Online Poker $25K High Roller Turbo, winning $726,000 in the process.[1]

While on Joey Ingram's podcast, Malinowski offered a 'heads-up challenge to anyone, playing while drunk'.[2] In June 2020, Malinowski won the partypoker High Roller Club $25,500 Main Event winning $443,750 in the process.[3]

In August 2020, Malinowski won a $842,438 pot from Michael Addamo while playing NLHE on the poker site Natural8.[4] It became the largest online pot in NLHE history beating the previous record of $723,938 won by Di Dang against Tom Dwan in 2008.[5] The record was beaten just a few days later when poker player Ali Imsirovic won a pot worth $974,631 while playing NLHE online.[6] Approximately one week later Malinowski won another pot worth $500,146 holding 7♥2♥ for a wheel.[7]

Biggest Poker Pot In History

As of August 2020, Malinowski's total live tournament winnings exceed $700,000.
