Hustler Casino Live (HCL) has finally released the names of players who will compete in its highly-anticipated $1 million cash game. Dubbed “The Million Dollar Game”, the upcoming event will be the biggest live-streamed poker game in history. The current line-up is comprised of prominent figures in poker as well as wealthy businessmen and HCL regulars.
The Line-Up
First on the list is poker content creator and WPT Ambassador Ethan “Rampage” Yau who will attempt to add another major poker victory to his resume after winning the WPT $25K High Roller for $894,240 last year.
Investment banker Ben Lee has also confirmed his participation, alongside hedge fund manager and two-time WSOP bracelet winner Mark Radoja. Joining them are casino chain owner Eric Persson, car dealership owner Brandon Steven, high-stakes poker player Nikhil “Nik Airball” Arcot, Sprout co-founder Justyn Howard, and baccarat professional Mikki Mase.
Billionaire venture capitalist and founder of Social Capital Chamath Palihapitiya will also be there, along with HCL regular “Prince Charles”, Door Dash founder Stanley Tang, and former partypoker executive Rob Yong.
What to Expect
All of the participants will pay $1,000,000 to enter the tournament which runs from May 27-29. On all three days, HCL will be streaming at least 10 hours of cash game action. The game has a $1,000 big blind ante, with blinds set at $500/$1,000. Straddles are expected given the backgrounds of these players.
