Risking It All: Corey Eyring’s $180K Poker Showdown

“What would you do if you were risking your entire net worth on a single poker hand?”

That’s the question Corey Eyring had to ask himself when he found himself staring down a massive pot worth $180,000 during a high-stakes cash game at The Lodge Card Club in Texas. As the poker vlogger’s entire future seemed to hinge on his next move, the world watched in suspense as Eyring navigated one of the most intense hands of his career. 

The stakes? 

His entire net worth. Here’s how it all unfolded.

Six-High No Good for Eyring

The drama began early on in the session when Eyring found himself at the centre of a huge pot. He raised to $500 with 6♦ 4♦, sensing weakness from his opponents. But things quickly escalated. After Taras made a 3-bet to $1,500 with 8♠ 8♥, and the other players folded, Eyring decided to take a more aggressive approach, bumping the bet up to $7,500. Taras, unfazed by the bold move, called.

The flop came down K♣ 10♣ 5♥, leaving Eyring’s hand with no significant improvement. He continued his aggression, betting $7,000, but Taras stuck around, confident that his pair of eights was still ahead. As the 10♦ hit the turn, and both players checked, Eyring saw a final hope with the 7♠ on the river. Without hesitation, he went all in with his six-high, risking everything he had left—$20,450.

Taras called, and the result was devastating for Eyring: Taras scooped the $79,050 pot, leaving Eyring to reload his stack for another $55,000. He was down, but not out.

Can Eyring Find the Call Against 3 Coins?

Heading into the next hand, Eyring had just lost $5,300—still manageable in the high-stakes world of $50/$100 cash games. However, this next hand would test him like never before.

3 Coin, an aggressive player, opened with a $1,000 raise under the gun. Eyring, holding A♥ 10♦, 3-bet to $3,000. The action folded back to 3 Coin, who called, and the two saw a 9♥ 8♥ 7♥ flop. Eyring was sitting with an ace-high flush draw and an open-ended straight draw, while 3 Coin had just the jack-high straight.

With $10,250 in the pot, 3 Coin bet $2,000, and Eyring called. The 3♠ came on the turn, followed by the 10♥ on the river, giving Eyring the best hand—a flush. However, 3 Coin wasn’t ready to give up. He shoved all in with a massive $16,000 bet. Eyring, now visibly shaken, stared at the decision of a lifetime.

As the clock ticked down, Eyring’s mind raced. “What the f*** is that bet?” he said, as the table burst into laughter. He revealed that he was sitting on his entire net worth for the hand—something he had not disclosed to the table before. With a sigh, he made a bold move: “I’d like to randomly select a card. If I pull the ace of hearts, I call. If I pull the ten of diamonds, I fold.”

After a dramatic shuffle, the ace of hearts was revealed. Eyring called, and 3 Coin’s J♠ 5♠ was no match for Eyring’s ace-high flush. Eyring won the $180,000 pot, securing the largest hand of his poker career.

Final Results: Who Came Out on Top?

After the heart-stopping action, Eyring walked away with a $27,600 profit. However, it was Mariano who emerged as the biggest winner, netting $205,125 in total winnings. The table saw various fortunes, with some players taking home substantial profits, while others were left in the red.

Despite the ups and downs, Eyring’s remarkable comeback in that monumental hand ensured he would remain one of the most talked-about poker vloggers in the industry.
