VIDEO: A Million-Dollar Blast and the Fold of the Year – SHR Cash Game Finale Delivers Two Viral Moments

The thrilling Super High Roller Cash Game reached its climax yesterday with its third day, bringing two viral moments. First, Andrew Robl detonated his $850,000 stack with a 5-bet into an opponent's aces, and then recreational player Sameh Elamawy delivered the fold of the year!

Robl's Collision with Aces Ends in Painful Blast

In the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, the final day of the Super High Roller Cash Game penned another story perfectly capturing the high stakes reality: even the biggest "sharks" sometimes crash. After more than six hours of play, Andrew Robl engaged in a showdown with Eric Wasserson, who had a 78% VPIP and was playing almost every hand.

The action kicked off with a BTN raise from Wasserson to $16,000. Robl responded from the big blind with a 3-bet to $80,000 holding A s 3 s, and after a 4-bet to $200,000, the moment everyone gasped at these stakes arrived – Robl shoved all-in for $850k only to face A d A c. The players decided to "run it twice," but neither board brought salvation. Robl ended up losing $851,000 in a single pot, closing the night at -$1,540,300.

The Fold Heard Around the World

Just when viewers and spectators thought the evening's highlight had passed, a situation unfolded that left commentators speechless and viewers staring at their screens. With a straddle on the table, four players got involved: Sameh Elamawy limped with K c T c, Eric Wasserson called with 6 h 4 s, Justin Gavri had A c 9 c, and straddler Evan Sofer joined the action. The flop 4 h 8 c 2 c gave Wasserson a pair and two players a flush draw; Gavri fired $20,000, Elamawy called, and after a moment, so did Wasserson – with over $100,000 in the pot, it all seemed set for another seven-figure showdown.

The turn 7 s prompted silence and a "free card," as all players checked – then came the river J c – Elamawy completed a second nuts flush and bet $50,000. Wasserson folded, but Gavri announced a raise to $250,000... and Elamawy did something rarely seen in such settings: after a grimace and a brief comment, "I would call Wass," he folded the second nuts. Gavri then revealed his cards, proving it was a pure hero fold – and this pot, which had all the elements to grow into the millions, ended with one of the best folds of the year.
