(PRESS RELEASE) -- The days of Rail Heaven returned on WPT Global over the past few weeks, as the nosebleeds in online poker were found to be in full swing.
The battles occurred frequently at the $200/$400 and $100/$200 No-Limit Hold’em tables, with a $666k victory for one player in a single heads-up session, a $3 million downswing for another and multiple huge pots occurring.
The player “nicetrybuddy” certainly appreciated the effort from one opponent, as they scooped $666k in a heads-up battle which lasted 319 hands at the $200/$400 table.
As the effective stacks grew, so did the pot sizes, as one exceeded $220k at the same stakes while over 50 WPT Global players spectated the battle. One player fired the high-stakes games for three days straight, finding no luck on the online felt and losing over $3 million.
While other sites struggle to get over $5/$10 running or make their higher-stakes games invite-only, WPT Global are keeping the online poker dream alive and reviving the nosebleed games that fans used to watch WPT ambassador Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius battle at for hours on end.
