A pair of heavy hands left Kevin Hart speechless on Saturday night's live edition of High Stakes Poker on PokerGO, with big pots that cost Hart $1.8 million near the end of the finale of the live series.
Everything started off fine for the comic actor, who spun his stack up to over $1M in the first half of the stream. The second half, however, issued a massive correction over two big hands at the end of the night.
Snap call
The first tilt kicked off Hart raised to $28K with and the red-hot Eric Wasserson was happy to come along with
before Shawn Madden joined the party with

The flop was and Wasserson was in business with three jacks, while Hart held the inside straight draw. Hart bet $30K, but Wasserson fired back $100K — splashy enough to draw a shove from Hart and a snap-call.
"Oh," Hart said when he saw the bad news. "I thought he was bluffing."
They agreed to run it twice but runouts of and
sent what was left of Harts $300K+ into the stack of Wasserson. Hart grabbed another $500K as the night's end drawing close.
One more clash
Meanwhile, the two players weren't done with one another.
Just before the end of the night, Wasserson raised to $16K with and Sam Kiki called with
. Hart looked down at
and called in the small blind before Justin Gavri called with
from the big blind.
A flop of fell and Wasserson had everyone checking to his quads for a bet of $20K. Hart and Kiki were the unlucky callers before the
fell on the turn.
Hart checked his top-two pair and Kiki did the same with his double draw before Wasserson tossed out $60K. It was a bad spot for Hart, who raised to $185K and folded out Kiki. Wasserson called and Hart shoved the river to a snap-call.
"I have quads," Wasserson said for the fourth time this week.
Hart, who had not said much throughout the hand, silently pushed sunglasses up his nose while Wasserson stacked up the $838K pot.
Wasserson, for his part, rode the hot hand to the best stack of the night with $1.8 million on the table when the action wrapped up.
