20k Flip Fest at Full Tilt Poker
On Saturday night while I was playing on Full Tilt Poker I noticed some action going on at the high stakes PLO tables. So, I decided to check it out and noticed that Patrik Antonius, Gus Hansen, SteveSung, LoLina and several other players were doing $20k flips on the 200/400 PLO tables.
Basically the players would raise it up to $20k preflop, then check it around for the turn and the river. At some points there were 5 players at the table and they pots were $100,000 each hand.
I am not sure who the big winners and losers were, but when Antonius left he said he was down $100k and was sitting with over $350k at the table. Gus Hansen was the only one who seemed happy and typed “GGGG ” as he left the table.
Taylor Caby tried his luck, but lost $100k in about 5 minutes. As he left the table he wrote: “I lost a bad ferrari flipping”.
Some other players that joined included OnTheRize and pr1nnyraid.
It was pretty interesting to watch these degenerate gamblers throwing around such large amounts of money as this went on for about 2 hours.
You can see the logs from all the flips here, or you can download the chat from the game here.
If you have never seen this action online, you gotta download Full Tilt Poker today.

That is some crazy money being thrown around in such a short time. Losing $100k just like that for Gus is nothing though. He was lost more than that at times, but he has also won more than that at times too.

Gus didn’t lose $100k, Caby did. Fortunately with those cardrunners bucks, he probably isnt hurting too much.
