High Stakes Matchup at BetFair Poker

When two players with some of the biggest bankrolls in online poker decide to take each other on at $250/$500 no limit Hold'em you can be sure of some fireworks.

Making essential viewing for anyone interested in high-stakes poker, "LoisLane" and "paoletto" have been battling regularly in the "Stockholm" online poker room at Betfair Poker over the past few days. At one point today the average pot size displayed in the lobby on Betfair Poker was $71,000.

The Betfair Poker world map tells us that LoisLane is from Norway and that paoletto resides in Italy.

LoisLane is a high-stakes regular on Betfair Poker. He often sits at several tables and has been known to have half a million dollars in play at one time. Not afraid to re-buy into a heads-up game, pots in excess of $100,000 are a regular occurrence for this player who was once seen sitting alone in glory at the $250/$500 table, with $400,000 in front of him! One to avoid if you are not hitting cards!

There is speculation on the Betfair forum that paoletto is in fact also "sincero". Sincero is known for being a highly aggressive and increasingly accomplished high stakes Hold'em player and has been involved in some of the largest pots ever seen on Betfair Poker.

The $207,000 pot won by "Rosiepod" against sincero was eclipsed last night when paoletto took down a $213,000 pot against LoisLane.

Many of the Betfair Poker regulars have added both paoletto and LoisLane to the "find a player" functionality on Betfair Poker allowing them to watch the biggest games online.

Shortly before they stopped playing there was $423,000 at the table. Paoletto's comment in the chat box - "I can't play too much more, it's quite stressful" - might be considered something of an understatement.
