In 2020, the record for largest No-Limit Hold'em online cash game pot was broken twice in one week on GGPoker. Wiktor Malinowski broke a record previously held by Tom Dwan when he won an $842,000 pot against Michael Addamo, before Ali Imsirovic beat that with a new record of almost $975k.
However, the Pot-Limit Omaha cash games are where the biggest cash game pots ever have occurred.

Phil Ivey, Viktor Blom, and Patrik Antonius have all been involved in seven-figure cash game pots, but the previous record of $1,356,947 looks to have been surpassed.
A tweet from Rob Yong shows a than between King's Resort owner Leon Tsoukernik and Tony G.
The game was $1,000/$2,000 Pot-Limit Omaha and was played on cryptocurrency poker site CoinPoker.
No exact details are known about the hand in question, but Tsoukernik and Tony G were situated in the blinds and after a pre-flop raising war, both stacks went in generating a staggering pot of $1,820,783.
Leon Tsoukernik: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Tony G: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}
The flop {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Hearts} gave Tony G a flush draw, but there was to be no further help for either player, as the board completed {2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Both players chopped the pot.
CoinPoker was launched in 2017 with the mission to provide "safe, transparent, and trustworthy online poker games," according to CoinPoker representative Isabelle Mercier. In 2020, former World Series of Poker (WSOP) Player of the Year Rob Campbell joined the site as an ambassador after being attracted to the site's aims of making poker "poker accessible, transparent and decentralized."
This isn't the first time Tsoukernik has been involved in a notable online poker hand. Back in July 2020, he was involved in a five-way all in on the GGPoker cash game tables. He held {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} but his four opponents held aces, kings, queens and jacks, with queens flopping a set to win a six-figure pot.
Tony G meanwhile is enjoying a successful return to poker, after winning two events in 2021 at the Super High Roller Series Europe. He resigned from the Lithuanian parliament early last year citing dissatisfaction with a member of the Labor Party.
