The largest single poker win ever recorded was by Antonio Esfandiari, who won $18.3 million in the 2012 WSOP Big One for One Drop tournament. It was a $1 million buy-in event - and still one of the most iconic wins in poker history!

I don't remember well, but I think I won $250 in a tournament, but then I lost everything to play bigger tournaments.

The largest single live poker tournament prize ever won was $18,346,673 by Antonio Esfandiari in the 2012 Big One for One Drop, a high roller event with a $1 million buy-in. This event combined huge stakes with charity support, making it historic. In general, online poker and regular tournaments rarely reach these sums, but multi-million-dollar prizes in super high roller events remain the peak of poker winnings. Such amounts are extreme and highlight both skill and the massive stakes involved.
