Celebrity poker player Antanas ‘Tony G’ Guoga won a pot worth just over $300,000 this weekend on the CoinPoker website, beating an anonymous whale in a high-stakes 1000/2000 game.
The game took place as part of the Crypto Series of Poker (CSOP), which is making $1 million in prize money available across 41 tournaments.
It saw Guoga – who is also the CoinPoker founder – call the hand of high-rolling user nvoskob1986, who had played with a two pair of Aces and fives, against Guoga’s two pair of Aces and Jacks.
The pot Guoga won is the largest TwoPlusTwo has recorded so far this month, but with the series set to continue next weekend, it may remain the highest for too long.

Taking place on CoinPoker, the game began with Tony G sitting on USDT 547,323 and his opponent, nvoskob1986, sitting on USDT 152,413.
His opponent raised the pre-flop to USDT 6,000, with Guago responding with a 3-bet to §18,000, before nvoskob1986 called at USDT 12,000.
This led to a flop worth USDT 36,000, in which Tony G bet USDT 36,750 and nvoskob1986 raised to USDT 133,913, all in.
Guoga responded to this by calling at USDT 97,162.70, with the turn and river rounds seeing both players go all in.
Eventually, Tony G called nvoskob1986, who revealed a five of Spades, four of Diamonds, six of Hearts and Ace of Clubs.
As for Guoga, he had a ten of Clubs, Jack of Clubs, three of Diamonds and Ace of Diamonds, enough to take down the pot of roughly USDT 304,000.
This left Tony G with a stack worth around $700,000 at the end of the night.
