Santhosh Suvarna has made history on High Stakes Poker Season 16 after winning a $2.42 million pot. The hand came in a big showdown against Matt Kalish and ended with Suvarna taking down the largest pot ever seen on the show. It adds another major milestone to his record in high-stakes poker.
A press release from PokerGo revealed that Santhosh’s exact winning was $2,421,500.
The historic hand aired during Season 16 of High Stakes Poker and featured Suvarna battling DraftKings Co-Founder Matt Kalish in a giant confrontation that eclipsed the previous record pot by more than $1,000,000.
The achievement marks the second time Suvarna has held the record. In Season 12, he won a then-record $992,000 pot against Andrew Robl. Alan Keating later eclipsed that mark in Season 14 with a $1,412,500 pot against Peter Wang. Now, Suvarna has reclaimed the record.
“High Stakes Poker has always showcased the biggest personalities, highest stakes, and most unforgettable moments in poker,” said Brent Hanks, CEO of PokerGO. “This record hand is another example of why the show remains the gold standard for televised cash-game poker.”
More than $400,000 was in the pot heading to the flop between Kalish, Sameh Elamawy, Suvarna, and Sam Kiki. Suvarna bet $125,000. Kiki called, and then Kalish moved all in for $948,000. Suvarna called all in for $823,000, prompting a tank-fold from Kiki. Suvarna and Kalish opted to run it twice, and Suvarna scooped both boards to haul in the $2,421,500 pot.
