Running It Once for $2 Million: Breaking Down the GucciNIKE vs NV22 CoinPoker Hand

This week, the poker world watched in awe as a brutal $2 million pot unfolded on CoinPoker between high-stakes titans GucciNIKE and NV22. It was a clash of titans, a massive display of bankroll courage, and a brutal reminder of the variance that defines the great game of PLO.

The hand took place in the ultra-high-stakes lobbies of CoinPoker. GucciNIKE and NV22 were locked in a heads-up $2,500/$5,000 PLO match. Both players were sitting incredibly deep, with effective stacks hovering right at the $1,000,000 mark.

Preflop action kicked off with NV22 putting in a massive $45,000 3-bet, setting the tone for a bloated pot. The flop and turn saw NV22 continue their aggression, building the pot exponentially until the breaking point arrived on the turn.

When the turn card was dealt, the fireworks went off. GucciNIKE shoved all-in, and NV22 snap-called.

When the digital cards were turned over, the rail saw exactly why the money went in. NV22 had turned the nut straight and was a 60/40 favorite to win the hand. GucciNIKE was holding onto a set of sevens with a redraw to a king-high flush. With a pot of exactly $2,000,000 in the middle, NV22 had to decide whether to mitigate variance by running the river multiple times.

Confident in the math, NV22 chose to run it once.

It is easily one of the largest single cash game pots recorded online in 2026, serving as a brutal reminder of why PLO remains the most volatile and exciting game on the internet.
