Peter Jepsen (born 1982) is a Danish poker player. In March 2007, he won the European Poker Tour zł15,000 No Limit Hold'em in Warsaw, Poland, netting him $415,679. In September 2008, he set a new World Record for winning the biggest ever pot in online poker history.
The biggest-recorded online cash game pot saw Patrik Antonius rake in $1,356,947 against Viktor 'Isildur1' Blom back in 2009 on Full Tilt Poker. That hand, however – and all the other $1million. The record for the largest ever online poker cash game pot has been broken FOUR times already this weekend. Prior to Saturday, 'patatino' held the honors of winning the largest ever online cash game pot. This was a $610k pot that was won against Hac 'trex313' Dang in mid September.
Peter Jepsen was in 2019 convicted for cheating and recurved a three year prison sentence
Poker[edit]
Jepsen describes his entry into the world of poker as a 'coincidence'.[2] He first took up the game after being sent home from his tour of duty with the Royal Danish Army in Iraq, where he served predominantly as part of the Military Police. Initially, Jepsen played online poker with his friends purely as a pastime, but he soon realised that Poker could become more than just a hobby. He admits that he lost several thousand dollars whilst learning how to play, but that he persevered nonetheless, because he was '100% convinced' that he could make a success of it.

As of 2009, Jepsen's live tournament winnings exceed $600,000.[3] His greatest success to date, in March 2007, came in Warsaw, Poland in the 3rd season of the European Poker Tour, where he took first place and a prize of zł1,226,711 ($415,679). He beat Frenchman Farid Meraghni into second place with his winning hand of 7♠7♥.
Previous to this, Jepsen had finished 3rd in the Caribbean Poker Classic in St. Kitts, which netted him his first major live cash return of $165,000.
World Record[edit]
Despite his success in live tournaments, Jepsen is still perhaps better known for his successes in online poker. In September 2008, Jepsen broke the world record for the biggest pot ever won in online poker, when he won a pot of $499,037 against Tom Dwan. Jepsen's record has been eclipsed since then.[4]

Since the poker boom that started in 2003 the game, and the way it is played, has changed dramatically. Some of the most decorated stars in the game such as 13-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth have been forced to adapt and reinvent their tactics amid the influx of new and exciting talent. The modern game is awash with poker pros raised on an internet diet of fast hands and advanced play, where the pre-flop minimum raise is now standard rather than seen as a donk move. It is only natural that this new generation that like their poker hard and fast have accumulated some impressively high pots in their time. Here, we take a look at three of the biggest pots in online poker history.
Players: Isildur1 v Patrik Antonius
Pot Total: $1,360,000
How it Happened:
In a busy week of poker history, the world record for largest online pot was broken again and again. Indeed, this was not the first time revered professional Patrik Antonius and online legend Isildur1 – or Viktor Blom as he’s known among the day walkers – had broken the record in their intense series of online heads-up encounters.
The game was Omaha and the pre-flop action saw the pot escalate to just over $160,000 before delivering a 4-5-2 rainbow flop. Antonius flopped the low straight with his A-3-K-K whilst Isildur1 had a big wrap with his 6-7-8-9. Antonius led out for $91,000 and Isildur1 re-raised to $435,000. By the time Antonius shoved, Isildur1 was already pot-committed and called as a marginal underdog. A 5 on the turn didn’t help, in fact giving Antonius a draw to the nut flush killing some of Isildur1’s outs, and as a blank river fell the Finn scooped the whole lot.
Players: Trex313 v Patatino
Pot Total: $610,000
How it Happened:
You may not have heard of this pair of online high stakes gamblers but they briefly held the record for largest online cash game pot ever. Also at the table were online legend Phil ‘OMGClayAiken’ Galfond and Tow ‘Durrrr’ Dwan, but they took a back seat for this $610,000 ride – and the hands in question were really not that special.
It was actually OMGClayAiken that took the early betting lead, raising to $5,000 pre-flop and then leading out for $9,200 on the flop after Hac ‘Trex313’ Dang and Patatino called his original raise. From here, Patatino (rumoured to be Cirque Du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté) re-raised to $35,000 and Trex313 went on to make it $88,000 at which point OMGClayAiken called it a day. Patatino then went all in and Trex313 called on a T♦ 6♦ 8♣ flop. You could be mistaken for assuming it was a case of set over set, but the actual hands were far inferior. Patatino was holding Q♦ 2♦ for a queen-high flush draw, but remarkably that was enough to make him a firm favourite. Trex313’s J♦ 9♦ left him with just an up and down straight draw, his flush draw now irrelevant. The turn was an offsuit 2, and river was a blank leaving Patatino to net well over half a million dollars in a single pot with bottom pair.
Players: Urindanger v Durrrr
Pot Total: $723,000
How it Happened:

Nowadays most poker enthusiast are familiar with Tom ‘Durrrr’ Dwan. His unique style, not just his hyper-aggressive play but his general persona and freaky stare down technique, is certainly enough to create a lasting memory. He is never afraid of calling down an opponent lightly if he believes he is in the lead – just take a look at this call with 9-high to see what we mean. Naturally, this has led to Durrrr being involved in some monster pots over the years, and when he locked horns with Di ‘Urindanger’ Dang he entered an unforgettable hand.
In contrast to Durrrr’s maniac style, the hand more or less played itself out. After some pre-flop flirting that saw the pot total $90,000, the rather innocuous-looking 5-9-4 flop quickly saw both players shoving all of their chips onto the green felt. Durrrr showed K-K but ones suspects he may have already known what was awaiting him as his opponent flipped the pocket rockets. The turn and river offered no change to this cooler and Urindanger’s aces earned him nearly three quarters of a million dollars.
