Friday night’s Hustler Casino Live game started off with a trash talking player learning a hard lesson on the first hand of the high-stakes cash game.
“The King,” who owns a logistics company called King of Freight (hence, the moniker), got up out of his seat before the first hand was dealt as he attempted to bait the table into going all in right off the bat. And from there it would turn into a massive pot as two players obliged.
Brutal Start for The King
The $50/$100 no-limit hold’em game quickly turned into much higher stakes. Action began with Dylan Flashner making it $300 to go with A♠K♦. The King then tried to talk another player in the game, Alejandro, to go all in with him.
“Yeah, you don’t want to go heads-up,” The King told Alejandro.
“I’ll go heads-up,” Alejandro responded.
“No you won’t,” The King confidently told his opponent.
The problem for the trash talking poker player who started the session with $30,000 is Alejandro wasn’t the only player in the hand. Flashner was sitting on a big hand with Big Slick. And when Alejandro looked at his cards, he saw 7♠7♥, a solid hand against a random hand held by a player who announced he wanted to go all in before viewing his cards.
The King held true to his word and three-bet Flashner’s raise to $30,000 with A♦Q♦.
“Let’s do it, f**k it. All in, b***h,” The King said as he stood up and made some awkward hand gestures. “I don’t give a f**k.”
Alejandro called for $20,000, and then Flashner, after The King advised his opponents to “put your balls on the table,” made the call. Three ways to the flop in a pot of $80,000 they went.
The King told the dealer to run the board just once, and it came out 5♥3♥4♥10♣6♦ and the pocket pair held. Alejandro, who tripled up, joked about doing a hit and run, which had The King asking him if he’d go all in again on the next hand.
The King instead decided he would leave the game after just one hand and said his goodbyes. But he returned to the game a few minutes later with $16,550 and came right into the action by straddling for his entire stack. He’d wake up with the mediocre 10♦2♥ and receive calls from Charles Yu and his A♥8♥ and Flashner’s 3♠3♥.
Off to the flop they went, and the board would run out 4♣A♠10♥6♥J♣, giving Yu the entire $56,600 pot, and sending The King home after playing two hands and losing two bullets.
Hustler Casino Live’s Friday night show featured the anticipated return of “Wes Side” Wesley Fei and popular poker vlogger Mariano Grandoli.
