Old School Mike Matusow Backs Up His Mouth, Crushes Hustler Casino Live Games

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 19:35:52 +0000

On Monday, Mike Matusow promised the “old school” version of “The Mouth” would appear on Hustler Casino Live. Two sessions of play later and he proved he wasn’t all talk.

The four-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner first played on “Max Pain Monday,” a popular gimmicky weekly show that features a lower stakes game than the rest of the week. During that five-hour session, the poker legend backed up his mouth by winning over $11,000. Well, sort of. He did proclaim “I’m coming after you” to the show’s co-owner Nick Vertucci, who instead came after the rest of the table to the tune of a $21,000 profit.

Ethan “Rampage” Yau has been on a downswing in recent months, but a massive hand against Nikhil “Nik Airball” Arcot during Friday night’s Hustler Casino Live stream might have him headed back in the right direction.

The hand in question, which led to a $473,000 pot, occurred at around 10 p.m. PT, about five hours into the $50/$100 no-limit hold’em cash game.

Rampage Poker Wins Three-Way Cooler

Hustle Casino Live’s X account teased a “huge hand coming up soon” about an hour before the hand in question aired. When it did air, Dr. P began the action by raising to $300 from the hijack with QQ before Rampage three-bet to $1,200 on the button with KK. Airball, in the small blind with AK, just called, which led Dr. P to move all in for $25,875.

No, Ethan “Rampage” Yau isn’t headed back to the low-stakes grind. The headline is just a play on a tweet the popular vlogger posted following Friday night’s Hustler Casino Live stream, in which he ended with the biggest loss of his poker career.

Prior to the $100/$200/$400 session at Hustler Casino in Los Angeles, Yau joked about how he’d “either be rich” or following the high-stakes game or be forced to return to playing $1/$3, which his original YouTube followers will recall it wasn’t long ago he was playing at those stakes.

Find Out Who Lost $700k on Hustler Casino Live in a Game vs. Poker Villain Martin Kabrhel

Wed, 29 Nov 2023 01:35:33 +0000

Max Pain Monday took the week off on Hustler Casino Live, but it was truly a max pain Monday for one player who lost over $700,000 in just a few hours in what was one of the show’s most memorable live-streams ever.

It may not quite rival this past summer’s $1 million buy-in games, the infamous J4 stream one year ago, or the epic May 2022 MrBeast game, but the first night of Super High Stakes Week was pretty much out of line with more six-figure pots than we could count. Not only that but one of poker’s most controversial players Martin Kabrhel made his HCL debut to spice things up a bit.

An alleged fraudster is accused of pitting two prominent Hustler Casino Live regulars against each other to run an elaborate scam.

Benjamin “Blank Check Ben” Lee and “Wes Side” Wesley Fei, both polarizing figures on the show, have an admitted tense relationship. But the poker players are putting their differences aside to expose someone they believe has extorted them both, which Lee explained via his own blog post.

Poker Players Scammed

In August, an anonymous person made some accusations against Wesley in a WordPress blog post, claiming the poker player got him for $250,000 in a cryptocurrency scheme in early 2022.
