Giselle54 won $1,997,067 on Wednesday 21 October in a heads-up PLO5 session against yolof1 on CoinPoker, played across 1,674 hands at $500/$1,000 and $1,000/$2,000, according to figures CoinPoker published on 22 and 23 October.
Two pots cleared half a million: $556,640 and $517,400, both at $1,000/$2,000 with a $1,000 ante. CoinPoker's replay reel runs to 63 hands, 45 from the $500/$1,000 tables and 18 from $1,000/$2,000, and eleven of them went past $265,000.
CoinPoker called it “an almost $2 million upswing in one day”. Nobody outside the room can check that number, so it stays CoinPoker's figure rather than ours.
Kings Full on a Double-Paired Board
The biggest pot of the day started as a preflop raising war and ended as a cooler. Giselle54 held 10♣ 9♣ 7♥ 5♠ K♠ in the big blind with 659,580 behind. yolof1 had Q♦ J♣ 10♦ 9♦ 2♣ on the button with 276,820, and 109,000 was in before a flop.
It would not get near the all-time list of the biggest cash game pots ever played, but it was the largest CoinPoker published from the session, and unusually for PLO5 it was decided by the river card rather than a preflop flip.
The flop came king-high and paired, yolof1 checked it back, and the pot was still 109,000 when the turn brought a deuce. Giselle54 bet half of it, got called, and potted the river when the board paired a second time.
| Street | Board | Action | Pot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preflop | Raises on both sides, yolof1 calls the last one | 109,000 | |
| Flop | K♦ 7♠ K♥ | Giselle54 checks, yolof1 checks | 109,000 |
| Turn | 2♦ | Giselle54 bets 54,500, yolof1 calls | 218,000 |
| River | 2♠ | Giselle54 bets 218,000, yolof1 calls all-in for 169,320 | 556,640 |
Giselle54's K♠ and 7♥ had made kings full of sevens. yolof1's 2♣ made deuces full of kings on the same card, a hand that looks like a full house and plays like a bluff-catcher there. The call took the last 169,320 off the stack and Giselle54 was up $277,520.
Aces Against Two Pairs, Run Twice
The second pot was more orthodox: aces into two pairs, all-in on the flop. Giselle54 opened the button with A♦ A♠ K♥ 10♠ 9♥ and 257,200 behind, yolof1 three-bet 8♥ 8♦ 7♥ 4♠ 4♣ from the big blind with 336,200, Giselle54 four-bet and yolof1 called.
The money went in on the flop with Giselle54 at 63.56%, according to the client's equity display. Two pairs against an overpair on a dry board wants an eight, a four or a running straight, and neither run-out delivered any of them.
yolof1's raise covered Giselle54's stack, so the uncalled 13,800 came back and the pot settled at 517,400 before the dealer ran the turn and river twice.
| Street | Board | Action | Pot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preflop | Giselle54 6,000, yolof1 18,000, Giselle54 raises again, yolof1 calls | 109,000 | |
| Flop | 2♦ 9♣ 5♠ | yolof1 checks, Giselle54 bets 109,000, yolof1 raises to 218,000, Giselle54 calls all-in for 95,200 | 517,400 |
| Run 1 | Q♥ 3♠ | Giselle54, aces and nines | |
| Run 2 | J♠ 5♦ | Giselle54, aces and fives |
Aces held on both boards and Giselle54 collected $257,900.
Running it twice means dealing the remaining cards out two separate times once both players are all-in, with the pot split between the boards. It turns up in five of the eleven hands here, about what you would expect from two players settling in for a long session.
Three More Pots Past $400,000
Two of these went to Giselle54 and one was chopped. A full house decided at least one board in each.
The $450,570 pot came at $500/$1,000 and the money went in on the turn. Giselle54 check-raised a 17,985 flop bet to 108,455 with top two pair and a flush draw. yolof1 called, then jammed the A♦ turn with a pair of aces and 18 outs at 47.37%.
| Pot | Stakes | Giselle54 | yolof1 | Board | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 450,570 | $500/$1K | Q♦ 10♦ 8♥ 7♥ 5♣ | A♠ Q♥ 9♥ 8♦ 6♠ | 5♥ 10♥ 4♦ A♦ / J♠ / 5♠ | Giselle54 both runs, +224,885 |
| 419,980 | $1K/$2K | 10♣ 8♦ 8♥ 5♦ 5♥ | A♣ K♠ K♣ 10♠ 7♠ | 7♥ 5♠ Q♣ 7♣ / K♥ / J♥ | Split |
| 400,000 | $1K/$2K | 8♠ 8♥ 5♠ 3♣ A♥ | K♦ J♦ 4♥ 3♠ 2♠ | Q♠ 3♦ 3♥ 9♣ A♦ | Giselle54, +199,200 |
Giselle54 won the first run on a J♠ and filled up with fives full of tens on the second. A pot that was close to even on the turn went entirely one way.
The $419,980 pot went one board each way. Giselle54 turned fives full and got the money in at 78.95%, yolof1's K♥ on the first river made sevens full of kings, and the J♥ on the second run sent the other half back.
The $400,000 pot saw both players holding a three on Q♠ 3♦ 3♥. Giselle54 bet 47,000 on the 9♣ turn, then potted 168,000 on the A♦ river with threes full of aces, and yolof1 called all-in with trips and a king kicker.
The Two That Went to yolof1
Two of the eleven went to yolof1, both at $1,000/$2,000 and both decided on the river, which is about the only consolation the day offered.
The $397,000 pot was a call-down. yolof1 bet 18,500 on 3♦ 3♣ 2♥, 37,000 on the 7♠ turn and moved all-in for 124,500 on the A♠ river. Giselle54 called every street with trip threes down to a last 3,000; the A♥ A♣ had filled up.
| Pot | Stakes | Giselle54 | yolof1 | Board | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 397,000 | $1K/$2K | Q♥ 10♦ 9♥ 8♣ 3♠ | A♥ A♣ 9♠ 9♣ 6♥ | 3♦ 3♣ 2♥ 7♠ A♠ | yolof1 aces full, +197,700 |
| 325,000 | $1K/$2K | A♦ K♠ 7♣ 6♦ 5♠ | A♠ K♥ 10♦ 9♥ 7♠ | 4♦ 7♦ 10♥ J♥ 8♠ | yolof1 straight, +161,700 |
The $325,000 pot was a flip that landed late. yolof1 jammed 108,000 on 4♦ 7♦ 10♥ at 49.06% with top pair and a straight draw. Giselle54 called with a pair of sevens, a flush draw and a gutshot, and the J♥ turn and 8♠ river made yolof1 a seven-to-jack straight.
All Eleven Pots Over $265,000
These are the eleven hands in CoinPoker's reel that cleared $265,000 on the pot counter. Slashes in the board column mark a second run-out; the stakes column is the blinds at that table.

Who Are Giselle54 and yolof1?
Giselle54 first appeared at CoinPoker's nosebleed PLO tables in August 2025 as one of Jared Bleznick's regular opponents, and has played the $500/$1,000 and $1,000/$2,000 games regularly since. CoinPoker does not publish a real name for either account and nothing here guesses at one.
The account arrived during CoinPoker's high-stakes revival of 2025, when PencilArms and Giselle54 were most of Bleznick's opposition at stakes no other room spread. Giselle54 was already in the game when Jared Bleznick's nosebleed PLO sessions revived the $1,000/$2,000 games the online scene had barely seen since Full Tilt.
What CoinPoker itself has said about the day comes to three posts.
| Date | CoinPoker post | What it gives |
|---|---|---|
| 22 Oct | “Yesterday Giselle54 won $1,997,067” | Session total, $556,640 pot |
| 23 Oct | “A total of 1674 hands heads up” | Hand count, two pots over $500,000, Wednesday date |
| 24 Oct | Replay reel | 45 hands at $500/$1K, 18 at $1K/$2K |
Everything above comes from those three posts and the reel. CoinPoker has not said what yolof1 lost on the day, so we have not guessed.
yolof1 has been a regular opponent over the past year, and a highlight video of an earlier session calls the account a recreational player. What was new on 21 October was the volume, 1,674 hands in one sitting, and the size of the swing.
What $1,000/$2,000 PLO5 Actually Costs
PLO5 is Pot-Limit Omaha with five hole cards instead of four, and you still have to use exactly two of them. The fifth card drags most all-ins toward a coin flip, which is why the equity displays sit between 47% and 64% on most of the pots above.
| Level | Blinds | Ante | Pot before any raise | First raise seen | 100 big blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lower | $500/$1,000 | $500 | $2,000 | $3,000 | $100,000 |
| Higher | $1,000/$2,000 | $1,000 | $4,000 | $6,000 | $200,000 |
A 100-big-blind stack at the higher level is $200,000, and Giselle54 started the $556,640 hand with more than three times that. The pot-limit cap still governs every bet, and our Pot-Limit Omaha strategy guide covers why that cap changes hand selection at any stake.
The cap is why the biggest river bet in the reel was exactly 218,000 into a 218,000 pot. If you want to test the 63.56% figure from the second-biggest pot, you can check the equities yourself with our calculator by entering both five-card hands and the 2♦ 9♣ 5♠ flop.
What the pot counter includes: CoinPoker's replay shows the pot with every bet in it, called or not. When a player is all-in for less, the uncalled portion goes back to the bettor and the number drops, which is why the second-biggest pot briefly read 531,200 and the 353,912 pot above drops by the 62,338 that went back to Giselle54.
CoinPoker's September high-stakes recap went up on 7 October, so the October edition, with this session in it, is due in early November. That will show whether yolof1 came back for more, and whether $1,997,067 was the high-water mark of the month or just a Wednesday.
Each monthly recap gets picked up on the latest online poker news page as it lands.
