Cash game tables in CoinPoker’s VIP Arena have been buzzing this week as the Global Online Poker Championship reaches its midpoint, with the current run of action landing almost exactly a year after some of the platform’s biggest-ever sessions.
Alongside the renewed activity, CoinPoker has also launched a giveaway with PokerGO offering a route to High Stakes Poker in Las Vegas, worth more than $100,000.
PLO Tables Draw Heavy Traffic At CoinPoker’s Highest Stakes
Traffic at CoinPoker’s cash games has picked up in recent days, with the site’s highest-stakes Pot-Limit Omaha tables staying busy throughout the midpoint of the Global Online Poker Championship (GOPC).
On August 25th, a player going by BTCdemon took a seat at the $1,000/$2,000 VIP Arena tables. He started out opposite Barak “iWasOnly17” Wisbrod before the table filled out further with Chris “Lukabrate” Nguyen, Hazeslip, Trance and Firefox joining in.

Former Cash Game World Champion Owen “PR0DIGY” Messere also joined the action, and at one stage found himself on the wrong end of a huge bluff from BTCdemon, who was holding nothing stronger than Jack-high.
One hand proved especially costly for the table. BTCdemon got involved in a pot that swelled to $1.1 million, with Lukabrate’s pocket Kings ultimately losing out to rivered trip Queens after a preflop all-in.

Jared Bleznick has also become a regular fixture at the VIP Arena tables lately, squaring off against PencilArms in both $500/$1,000 and $200/$400 Pot-Limit Omaha games.
Their $200/$400 clash on August 24th caught the attention of poker commentator Emil (@EmilTheRaccoon), who called the pair “two legends at work” on their return to the felt.

Bleznick and PencilArms played similarly high-stakes sessions on CoinPoker last year, and their reunion at the tables lines up neatly with the wider surge in activity at the platform’s higher limits.
This Week’s Action Echoes Last Year’s Biggest Pots
CoinPoker itself flagged the coincidence, pointing out that this week’s action falls right around the anniversary of some of the site’s largest-ever recorded cash game stacks.

Around this same point last year, Bleznick ran his stack up to roughly $1,500,000 in CoinPoker cash games, a session the platform still counts among the biggest cash game action it has ever hosted.
Looking back on seeing the pair return to the tables, Emil summed up the nostalgia in a follow-up post: “I remember these games. Sick is probably the only word describing those stakes.”
