High Stakes Poker: $1.1M Pot Decided in Four Runouts

On Sunday night, Doug Polk , Jennifer Tilly , and Santhosh Suvarna created an enormous $1.1 million pot with a three-player all-in PokerGO’s High Stakes Poker livestream.

High Stakes Poker’s one-night-only special edition, presented by ClubWPT Gold, featured stars like Alan Keating, Andrew Robl, and Sam Kiki, some of the poker world’s most decisive and colorful characters. However, at the end of the night, the $1.1 million pot between Polk, Tilly, and Suvarna stole the show, as the Indian rooted Suvarna faced the well-behind American duo in four runouts.

Four Runouts Between Suvarna Tilly and Polk at High Stakes Poker

Tilly made the call after looking down at K♠, Q♠, and the action folded around her in middle position, already in for a $4k straddle. In the $8k straddle, Polk bumped it up to $70k, holding K♥Q♣, and Suvarna came along to see a flop in the $16k straddle with A♣7♥.

As the dealer fanned 5♣, J♣, 10♣, things got serious when Tilly and Polk got straight draws, and Polk picked up a Queen-high flush draw. However, Suvarna had the nut flush draw. Tilly led out for $150k, which was half her remaining stack, into the $214.5k pot, while Polk raised to $326k, comfortably covering the other two players. This quickly led to a snap call from Suvarna, who, despite holding only ace-high, was an incredible 70% favorite.

Tilly took a moment to think it over, consulting the dealer:

“If I fold, how much will I have left?”

Pole then turned to Suvarma, asking if he could offer any advice to Tilly. Suvarna agreed, and Polk told her,

“For this price, there aren’t many hands you can fold, there’s like a million out there… if you have a really bad hand you should fold, but otherwise you should put it in.”

“Very interesting,” Tilly replied before committing to create the massive $1,126,500 pot with her remaining $154k. Holding only Ace-high when the cards were tabled, Suvarna realized he was a huge favorite in one of the largest pots in High Stakes Poker history.

All three players stood for the monster pot. Before they ultimately agreed on four runouts, Polk suggested running it four times. Suvarna jokingly countered, “Six times,” drawing laughter from the table.

THREE WAYS FOR MORE THAN $1,000,000 AND THEY RUN IT FOUR TIMES!!!

Runout 1: 5♣, J♣, 10♣, 6♥, J♠. As the ace Tilly and Polk called for didn’t show up, one down for Suvarna.

Runout 2: 5♣, J♣, 10♣, 9♠, J♥ Tilly and Polk high-fived in celebration as the river bricked, after the 9♠ on the turn made their straight and chopped the second runout.

Runout 3: 5♣, J♣, 10♣, Q♥, 4♣. Tilly and Polk got their hopes up again after the turn, but it was quashed by the fourth club, which arrived on the river to deliver Suvarna his flush.

Runout 4: 5♣, J♣, 10♣, 9♣, 8♥
The final runout saw an action turn card as Suvarna saw his flush made once again, while Polk was alive just with two outs for his straight flush. However, the river 8♥ only helped Suvarna.

While Polk was alive, just two outs for his straight flush, once again, the final runout saw an action turn card as Suvarna saw his flush made. However, the river 8♥ was only a help for Suvarna.

While the dealer and floor staff were left with the unpleasant task of working out the split for the chopped second pot, Suvarna, the two-time WSOP champion, took three of the four pots.
