The Hustler Casino live stream saw some memorable bets, but one hand stood out from last week when… Famous YouTube poker vlogger Shake off some big money by getting rid of what would have been a split pot.
The hand came in a $50-$50 cash game, with poker vlogger Mariano Grandoli upping the action to $300 with an A
4and received several calls before actor and producer Dylan Flashner moved on with $9,200 with A
10
. Grandoli made the call with his dominant ace.
According to the Card player In the poker odds calculator, Flashner had a 61% chance of winning the hand before the flop, and Grandoli had only a 29% chance. There is also still a slightly better than 10% chance that the hand will result in a chopped bowl.
With $19,750 in the middle, the flop brought K C 6 With 9 Continue on turn 9 in the river. Thinking he lost his hand, Grandoli sent his cards into the mud after showing only one card.
But while Grandoli got the job wrong, he wasn’t alone. Even after he loudly raised his hand to the table, no one discovered what was wrong. One player even referred to the hand as a “cooler.” Even commentator David Tuckman doesn’t initially notice that the hand is a split bowl.
“Wait, Mariano didn’t realize,” Tuchman said as Grandoli slid his hand to the middle of the table. He later added: “Honestly, I do this for a living and I didn’t get it right away.”
As soon as his hand hit the mud, it died, and Flashner put together a nice five-figure pot to stay in the event.
Had Grandoli simply shown both of his cards instead of one before sending them into the mud, the dealer would have seen the cut and would have saved himself nearly $10,000. A costly mistake, to be sure, but small potatoes for the man who won $788,000 last year on pocket cards against two players holding kings.
By the end of the night, Grandoli was stuck with a total of $47,000. Meanwhile, Flashner’s unexpected double set in motion a round that ended with him winning nearly $49,000 during the session.
Grandoli isn’t the only high-profile professional to make a huge mistake at a big venue. Phil Ivey has infamously done this twice in… World Series of Poker. In 2009, espn Cameras caught him folding the winning flush into a bowl as he ran towards the final table. Then in 2019, he inadvertently flipped half the pot on an eight-or-better hand for $50,000. Poker Players Championship.
Last year, Pierre Coeurette was mistakenly eliminated from the A.C WSOP Circuit The main event in the Czech Republic. In a similar situation to Grandoli, Cawert was holding J
10 Against opponent K Cand no one at the table realized that the kickers were not playing on an AQ-6-J-6 board.
Not only did the players not see the pieces in this situation, but neither the dealer nor the tournament staff nor the live commentators saw them. Since the error was not caught in time, Cowart had to accept a fifth-place finish.
