A bizarre hand involving some unusual behavior kicked off a recent episode of Hustler Casino Live that saw three players all in preflop for a huge pot.
Although the $50-$100 live streamed cash game was just starting, a player who went by “The King” was already looking to go, saying that he was ready to bet all his chips, a buy-in of $30,000, no matter his cards.
“Can we do it?” he asked others at the table. “You don’t want to play do you? We can move these chips right here, right now, because I ain’t no bitch. I’m ready to play.”
Alejandro, who was seated in the big blind, looked down at 7 7 and decided to take up the challenge, saying he would go all in for his $30,000. The action was on actor and poker enthusiast Dylan Flashner, however, who raised to $300.
His involvement didn’t seem to deter The King, who was still trash talking with Alejandro on the other end of the table. The King then announced he was all in, not looking at his own A Q.
“All in bitch! I don’t give a f*ck. Put your balls on the table!” said The King.
After folds from the button and small blind, Alejandro had his $20,000 starting stack in the middle as well. Dylan looked annoyed, but couldn’t fold his A K and called for his $30,000 stack.
According to the Card Player Poker Odds Calculator, Alejandro had the best chance at winning the pot at 48%, followed by Dylan at 30%, and The King at just 21%. After seeing how bad of shape he was in, The King seemed agitated and ready to exit the game.
“I’ve got to go bro,” he said. “I told them I didn’t want to do this shit.”
The flop brought the 5 4 3, moving Alejandro’s winning chances up to 76%. He now had a straight flush draw while his opponents were down to just 12%. The turn brought the 10 and the river brought a 6 giving Alejandro the pot and a triple up to $60,000.
The King seemed to think he had $10,000 left over, not realizing Dylan had won it in the side pot. After a bit more conversation, The King exited the studio.
“I tried my best,” he somehow said with a straight face. “That was a tough one.”
Despite saying that he was leaving, The King soon returned with $16,550 and continued to boast and ramble, ultimately moving all in blind from the cutoff before the cards had even been dealt.
“I’m broke,” he said. “After this I may have to get a job at Burger King.”
This time Charles Yu called with A 8, with Dylan shoving for remaining $19,900 with 3 3. The King needed some help from Doyle Brunson with 10 2, but the board ran out A 10 4 6 J to give Charles both the main and side pot.

After the defeat, The King left the table for good, down more than $46,000 in just two hands. The hands kicked off a session that saw Mariano Grandoli also play his hand without looking at his cards, losing all his chips in the process.
