WATCH: Pocket Kings Cracked By Straight Flush In $400K Pot

Andrew Robl Won Both Runouts To Score A Nearly $410K Pot


The seventh season of No Gamble No Future on PokerGO brought a huge hand that featured a straight flush cracking pocket kings for a massive six-figure pot. Once again, high-stakes regular Andrew Robl was in the mix and came out on the right side of the clash.

With blinds at $200-$400 with a $400 big blind ante, Justin Gavri raised to $1,300 with A3 and Andrew Robl three-bet to $5,000 with 54. Kirk Brown looked down at KK and simply called while the action worked back around to Gavri, who also called.

With the pot at $16,000, Brown had a 53.25% chance to win

the pot, according to the Card Player Poker Odds Calculator. Gavri stood at 27.61% and Robl had just an 18.75% shot to win the pot. There was a miniscule percent chance at a tie. 

The flop was Q73 and Gavri checked. Robl bet $5,000 and Brown quickly raised to $15,000. Gavri folded and Robl three-bet to $196,800.

“I have a big hand,” Brown said. “I have bigger than the board.”

Brown was now almost a 57% favorite to win the pot while Robl stood at just over 43% and would win the hand if he hit one of the remaining spades or sixes in the deck. The 6 would also give him a straight flush.

Brown continued talking, running through the possible hands that Robl might have. He would need to call off all of his remaining $182,000 to make the call. He ultimately called and saw that he was ahead, but needed to dodge quite a few cards.

“He’s got a lot better hand than I was hoping for,” Brown said.

It’s Robl’s World

With the pot at $409,600, the players agreed to run the turn and the river twice. The first board completed with the 3 and the A on the river, handing Robl at least half of the pot with a flush.

The second runout turn brought the K on the turn to give Brown a set of kings. However, the 6 came on the river to give Robl a straight flush and secured him the entire pot.

“It’s Robl’s world and we’re just living in it,” commentator Brent Hanks said of the run of cards. Watch the complete hand below.

Robl has been one of the most successful players in live streamed cash games over the last several years with more than $4.7 million in winnings, according to HighRollPoker.com.

Originally from Okemos, Michigan, Robl has been involved in some massive hands on shows like High Stakes Poker, Poker After Dark, Bally’s Live Poker, and numerous others. In December, he was involved in a huge hand against Kristen Foxen in the No Gamble No Future “Cash of the Titans” stream that gave her the biggest stack and a $200,000 bonus.

Brown is fairly new to the world of high-stakes cash game streams and has also appeared on Bally’s Live Poker. He was down about $36,000 before the latest appearance on No Gamble No Future, but the tough run of cards against Robl has added to that significantly.
