Who would you like to see in HCL Million Dollar Cash Game

Some time ago HCL announced that they will be streaming a cash game with minium buy-in of million dollars.

Who would you like to see playing in it?

My list:

1. Rick Salomon

Absolutely fearless, plays fast and loose and puts people in tough spots all the time. Has good feel for the live game.

2. Andrew Robl

Nice to have some super pro also in the mix. Robl is entertaining and fearless.

3. Alan Keating

Well, Keating is Keating. Guaranteed action.

4. Hanz

That huge bluff against Keating earned Hanz a spot in my line up.

5. Eric Persson

I don’t like his antics that much but Eric creates a very unpredictable dynamic to the table. He can throw players off their game or just punt his stack in one hand.

6. Nik Airball

It’s good to have few villains in the table also. Loose and aggressive, can win or lose big. I don’t know how much he would play his villain image in this group though.

7. Tony G drunk

I just remember one Triton cash game from Montenegro when Tony G was hammered and he was just super funny and loosy goosy. If he is sober, he just is fasting and nitting it up drinking his bone broth.

8. Rui Cao

Action, action, action. Funny guy and brings good energy to the game.

9. JRB drunk

JRB is not a good player and his poker is not that interesting but he is funny and can keep the atmosphere in the table. Player like this is also needed.

(10.) Garret Addelstein

I have mixed feelings about Garret. He is a legend but I feel too much focus would go on the Robbi drama so I would leave him out from this one.

Texas Mike loses the bankroll?


by parisron k

Keating just casually calls 800k more with AQs pre.

I understand that Keating is a maniac super whale, but like this is the 0.05% of the time he isn’t up against AK, AA, KK or QQ on a 5B rip?

MBN



Tomas has a pretty distinct mark on the left side of his face that should make it easy to identify him


Also his beard/sideburns kinda look as fake as his hand tats


Lauren is such a pro. They're having her deal ****ing $25k plo flips and she's just 100% pro mode dealing it out quick as heck, again and again.


lauren is a freaking machine!

so is texas mike suffering from ill health, some of his tweets seem to indicate he has suffered from heart failure in the past recently.

Anyone got a timestamp for this hand from the vod?

I really don't understand why players like Keating and the likes play on these streams. Surely they know they're terrible at poker. Do they enjoy punting off large sums of money? Are they like the 1-3 degen who will blast away just to get that fix of winning a big pot once in a while


Quite poetic that Mike’s heart is too big and that’s what might end him.

This aged well

Id like my last comment striken from the record 😃

Maybe he was trying to get a straight or a small flush to fold but really bad timing and really weird bet on that big hand.

Are you talking about the 56o vs AhJh hand?

Texas was going for value for sure


Day 3 results


Overall totals



Insane swings for Brandon Steven who was down a million at one point.

I thought Thomas was really fun to watch despite initially appearing like he would be very dull. Super unpredictable.


Finding myself rooting for Steve the last few days.

Dorky guy in his 40s often seems out of place with the slicksters all around him. Love his 1K and 2K ‘donk’ bets. Fantastic Day 3 for him. Hope he comes back today to become the only one who plays all 4 days.

Peter was shown in Hustler casino last night with his mishpachah but apparently was not allowed to play for one reason or another..

Dwan's not playing tonight?


Man Keating must have a bankroll of at least $100m to not even think about the call with AQs there. Literally just insta calls $800k pre like its nothing.

Gotta feel bad for Texas Mike, insane action but I get the feeling the money means alot more to him than someone like Keating lol


Lol @ this PugDolk moron who makes a separate account to trash talk Peter. The dude is entirely within his right to leave whenever he wants, its Ryan's fault that the game breaks with one player leaving, not Peter.

100% PugDolk is someone who bought action in one of the other players in the game and is pissed he lost his money.

Extra lol @ thinking threatening whales who leave with violence is a valid strategy for any game runner. Nut low account.


Watched some of the action I missed. Comparing to last years million dollar week this years holding up well. 2023 had an entire day cancelled and the first day was just as bad as day 2 this year. There might not be the greatest banter but the poker has been great.
