This week delivered high-stakes poker at its finest, with legends clashing on our new $2,500/$5,000 tables.

From a massive 300BB pot at NL$500/$1,000 to exclusive Linus vs. Kayhan heads-up footage you won’t see anywhere else, there’s a lot to unpack. 

And, our new Telegram community is hosting a giveaway, so you could be the one unpacking something soon. Of course, we didn’t forget about our $300 Newsletter Freeroll. The password is in here.


📢 Telegram Community Chat & Giveaway Are Live

Our Telegram offering just leveled up. What used to be an announcements-only channel is now a proper community discussion space, open to everyone.

This is where players can talk hands, react to updates, and stay in the loop with what’s happening on CoinPoker in real time.

Telegram Community Launch Giveaway

To kick things off, we’re rewarding players who join the Telegram before February 9 with an exclusive Launch Giveaway:

Winners will be announced in the group directly after the deadline.

Don’t Forget: This is a community discussion group, not a support channel. The goal is clean, thoughtful, poker chat. 


💰 High Stakes Hands: 300BB Pot at $500/$1K

The $500/$1,000 6-max NLH streets got busy this week with online legends Wiktor “Limitless” MalinowskiLLinusLLove, and Viktor “Enlight” Kudinov all joining the action.

One hand stood out. A 300BB pot went Kayhan’s way after ATAKA made a hero call gone wrong.


Following his nosebleed heads-up battles with Ossi “Monarch” Ketola at Triton Jeju (where Wiktor “Limitless” Malinowski won a staggering $6,000,000), he has now taken the action online.


💸 LLinusLLove Battles Kayhan Mokri at NL$300/$600

Last week, we saw Linus battling Kayhan Mokri heads-up as well as jumping into the mix at NL$500/$1,000.

In the most spectacular hand of the session, LLinusLLove faced a hefty 75%-pot river bet from Kayhan on a 5♦T♥4♦5♣2♥ board

Linus held 4♥ 6♥ for just the second pair with no kicker, but ended up making the hero call, and he was good!

Kayhan turned over 9♣ 8♣ for a stone-cold bluff, while Linus collected the $55,350 pot. A pair of fours. One fearless call. High-stakes poker at its finest. 

With the very best now sitting at 6-max games, the next massive pot is never far away.

It’s not just Hold’em either…

Check out GucciNIKE and BAAMAAKOO battling in PLO5, where a ten-high flush was decimated on the river by fours full of kings.


🎥 New YouTube Video:
Kayhan Mokri vs. ATAKA at NL $2.5k/$5k

Our latest YouTube video covers the heads-up match everybody is talking about right now. It’s Kayhan Mokri vs. ATAKA, rumored to be Trueteller, at NL $2,500/$5,000.

Run It Once coach Frankie Carson joins Martin Rose to break down strategies and provide insight into what these nosebleeds are like at the very top.


🚨 CoinRaces: $15,000 Every Day, Locked In

$15,000 daily CoinRaces cash game leaderboards are now a permanent part of the CoinPoker ecosystem.

Play any NLHE, PLO, or PLO5 cash game, and you’re in, no opt-in needed. Each race resets every four hours, giving you multiple shots every day.

To keep competition fair, CoinRaces are split by stakes:

🔴 $11,250 Leaderboard: Buy-ins $100+, top 10 paid
🔴 $3,750 leaderboard: Buy-ins up to $50, top 15 paid

Prize pools scale by time slot, with bigger money during peak hours, while off-peak races mean less competition. This is the daily cash game value you can plan for, from now on.


🎉 VladiJkeee Wins $3,000 X Freeroll for $310.50

$3,000 prize pool for a social media freeroll is not happening very often. Sizable cashes and a large first-place prize offered the chance to boost your bankroll for free.

The exclusive Twitter tournament attracted 3,152 entries, with 650 players paid places and a $1.17 min-cash.

One player even managed to hit a royal flush near the end! Of course, this was worthy of a post on Twitter.

VladiJkeee beat the large field and was rewarded with a sizable $310.50 freeroll score. That’s exceptional value for a no-buy-in tournament. 

Follow us on X and Instagram so you don’t miss the next one.


🪙 CoinMasters & Tournament Updates

Your next CoinMasters Coin won’t cost you anything except a buy-in and time. With gold and silver prices fluctuating more than Gus Hansen’s no-look win rate, it’s a very exciting time to hold our CoinMasters prizes.

Hold for the memories and glory, or sell when the price hikes?

The choice is yours, champion. 


Our tweet didn’t age too well. A day later, the price dropped wildly, returning to more normal levels. Ben’s still up, though!
