The huge loss is a reminder that even elite players can face costly swings
Andrew Robl found himself on the wrong side of a huge hand during the final session of the PokerGO Super High Roller Cash Game, walking away with a seven-figure loss after a brutal collision with Eric Wasserson.

The high-stakes clash came late in the $500/$1,000 game, which featured a $2,000 big blind ante. Both players began the session with far smaller stacks but had built nearly $1 million each after more than six hours of action inside the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas.
Wasserson, who played a very loose style throughout the session, opened the button holding pocket aces. Robl responded from the big blind with ace-three suited and applied pressure with a large three-bet. Wasserson answered back with a four-bet, showing no interest in trapping.
Robl chose the aggressive route and shoved his remaining chips into the middle, creating a pot worth more than $1.7 million. Wasserson made the call almost instantly, a sharp contrast to a previous slowroll moment that had drawn attention earlier in the year.
The players agreed to run the board twice, but neither dealt Robl any relief. The first board left him drawing dead early, while the second offered no help, locking up the massive pot for Wasserson.
That single hand pushed Robl’s losses on the night past $1.5 million, making him the biggest loser of the session by a wide margin. Shortly after, he stepped away from the table and later joked about the outcome on social media.
