The tension escalated quickly after more than $400,000 sat in the pot before the flop, involving Sam Kiki, Sameh Elamawy, Suvarna, and Kalish. Following a $125,000 bet from Suvarna and a call from Kiki, Kalish pushed his remaining $948,000 into the center. Suvarna committed his final $823,000, forcing Kiki to fold. Both players opted to run the boards twice, with Suvarna sweeping both outcomes to secure the historic payout.

Santhosh Suvarna Claims Record $2.42 Million Pot on High Stakes Poker
A single hand during Season 16 of PokerGO’s High Stakes Poker has shattered existing records, with Santhosh Suvarna walking away with a $2,421,500 pot. The massive confrontation against DraftKings co-founder Matt Kalish eclipsed the previous show record by over $1 million, cementing a new milestone for the long-running series.
This victory marks Suvarna’s second time holding the record on the program. He previously set the bar in Season 12 with a $992,000 win against Andrew Robl, a figure later surpassed by Alan Keating’s $1,412,500 pot in Season 14. Brent Hanks, CEO of PokerGO, noted that the hand exemplifies the show's status as the premier destination for high-stakes cash games. Season 16 is currently streaming on the PokerGO platform.
