High-Stakes Poker Showdown: AsianFlushie vs. Ketola Breaks Records
Poker enthusiasts worldwide have been treated to a spectacle of high-stakes action, as Bjorn Li, known as 'AsianFlushie', faced off against Ossi Ketola in a series of heads-up matches. These games have not only set a new standard for televised poker but also offered a rare glimpse into the world of private, high-stakes poker.
The matches, played in a sit n' go-style format with $2 million buy-ins, saw Li emerge victorious in three out of four games, banking a cool $4 million. However, Ketola, who has previously eclipsed the $3.1 million record set by Tom Dwan against Wesley Fei, finished the day $4 million ahead after winning a mammoth $12.7 million pot. This hand has now set the record for the largest pot in televised poker history, surpassing the previous record of $11 million set by Ketola himself, alongside Alex Foxen at the Triton Highroller Series in Jeju, South Korea.
Despite his success, Ketola's approach to marketing has been marred by controversy. Poker.Org has condemned his use of racist language on social media and live streams. While there's no immediate information about Ketola competing to break the record again, his recent performance against Li has solidified his status as one of the game's most formidable players.
The matches between Bjorn Li and Ossi Ketola have not only pushed the boundaries of what's possible in televised poker but also highlighted the potential for high-stakes action to captivate audiences. As for Ketola, his future in the game remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: he's a force to be reckoned with at the poker table.
