"I'm ready for war"
American high-stakes cash player Andrew Robl has challenged high roller Eric Wasserson ahead of the next High Stakes Poker session. Robl declared that he intends to take from his opponent every bit of the $7,000,000 that Wasserson won on streams over the past year. For this, the cash player has already prepared an equivalent sum, and moreover, he's ready to match every bet Wasserson makes.
At the same time, Robl mocked the participants of the last High Stakes Poker session for their tight and boring play:
"Turned on High Stakes Poker yesterday: everyone had 80k stacks, and some gentleman seemed to be having a seizure, betting 51k on the river with the nuts.
I assure you, real High Stakes Poker begins on Friday. I've sent $7 million by wire transfer and will match every dollar Eric Wasserson puts on the table. This luckbox won $7 million on streams over the past year, becoming the second most profitable player in the history of televised poker. And every time we played, he terrorized, humiliated, and destroyed me.
But that's it, on Friday this shit ends. I'm ready for war. I'll personally make sure he loses every chip he puts on the table, and that his stream winnings turn to zero."
Wasserson came to the comments under this post by Robl on X and replied: "Damn, respect, champ. Is it okay if I play 80% of hands, or do you want me to ease up a bit for you? See you soon 😘".
The High Stakes Poker stream featuring Robl and Wasserson will take place on Friday, August 28, at 5:00 PM Pacific Time (4:00 AM MSK on August 29) and will be available on PokerGO.
According to Highroll Poker, Andrew Robl's total winnings in cash streams amount to $7,903,462. Meanwhile, back in January his bankroll reached $10,668,762. At that same time, at the start of the year, Robl lost more than $1.5 million in a Super High Roller session, which Wasserson finished up $1.8 million. Wasserson's cash-stream bankroll has soared since November 2025 from $97,695 to $6,701,195.
