High Stakes Poker has delivered countless legendary moments, and Monday night’s episode of High Stakes Poker, now on its 14th season, took the iconic show to even greater heights. In a jaw-dropping hand, Alan Keating won a record-setting $1,412,500 pot – by far the biggest single-winner pot in the show’s storied history.
The dramatic moment unfolded inside the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. Keating and Peter Wang had built a pot of $145,500 ahead of a king-high flop that contained two spades. Keating held pocket kings and flopped top set, and Wang had the nut flush draw with the ace-three of spades. Wang check-raised Keating’s $70,000 bet to $200,000, and Keating called. An ace hit the turn, giving Wang top pair to go along with his flush draw, and he moved all in for $433,500. Keating snap-called. The players opted to run it twice, and Keating held up on both rivers to scoop the entire $1,412,500 pot and etch his name in the poker history books.

High Stakes Poker is one of the most legendary poker shows ever created, debuting in 2006 and later making a highly anticipated return on PokerGO. Unlike traditional poker tournaments, the show spotlights high-stakes cash games, where players put real money on the line, leading to massive pots and intense strategic battles.
With no escalating blinds, participants can reload at any time, making for a dynamic and unpredictable game. Over the years, the show has showcased some of poker’s biggest icons, including Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, Daniel Negreanu, and Patrik Antonius. It has become famous for jaw-dropping bluffs, million-dollar pots, and unforgettable moments that have shaped modern poker history.
The deep-stacked nature of cash games allows for more creative and nuanced play, offering a unique viewing experience compared to tournament poker. After a break, High Stakes Poker was revived on PokerGO in 2020 with improved production quality while staying true to its roots.
Alan Keating is a household name in poker circles like Phil Ivey or Daniel Negreanu. Keating is known to play extremely wide range of hands and embracing the volatility of big pots. His total cashouts until date are near $230,000. His best live cash, to date, was in 2007, when he cashed $58,570 at the World Championship at the 38th World Series of Poker (WSOP), in 2017.
The win is definitely one of the biggest in poker history as well, and will act as a inspiration for poker players, both veteran and aspiring, who plan to bring out their best in the game.
