Let’s get it on!

The search continues for the best (or worst?) KO to ever grace the PokerStars live felt, and the fun part is that you get to crown the Champion.

Every day we’re running head-to-head Twitter polls of some of poker’s most brutal moments, and today’s quarter final pair are no exception.

This first hand, for example, is enough to make even the driest eyes water. From way back in 2012, two players moved all in with A-K during the Super High Roller at EPT Barcelona. Everyone loves a chop pot, right? Erm…

Their opponent is from more recent times; this year, in fact, as we reflect on a nasty bad beat at a crucial, high-stakes moment: the PSPC final table. Aces might be the preflop nuts, but they were about to become a lot less nutty…

You know the score by now: watch the videos above from behind your fingers, then let us know which you think is the most barbaric by casting your vote below:

 

 

The winner of the poll will be the third KO to advance to the semi-finals. Yesterday the Royal Flush River pipped Death by Quads by 56% to 44%, meaning they’ll take on the Aces, Kings, Queens hand for a spot in the final.

The action is picking up pace, as it is with our UFC KO Poker Series in which there are three UFC 241 packages on offer. If you haven’t got involved yet, then get your gloves on and take a step into the poker octagon.
