Hawrilenko Hammers Golser, Hauls In $299K Limit Hold’em Win

High stakes poker professional Matt Hawrilenko got some rarely seen action during the late night hours on his own heads-up Full Tilt Poker table. Austrian poker player Markus Golser sat down and battle it out with Hawrilenko for over four and a half hours in a $2000/$4000 Limit Hold’em game. Around 50 minutes into their match, Golser was actually up almost $90K before Hawrilenko turned the tides and never looked back. After 1,125 hands of action, Hawrilenko went to rack up an impressive $299K+ in winnings before Golser finally called it quits.
