Hustler Casino Live returned to YouTube after a week-long hiatus, following the temporary suspension of their account. Many speculated the week’s suspension was due to one of the stream’s sponsors, Polymarket, a crypto-based prediction betting market. YouTube’s stance on gambling is a fine grey area, when it comes to showcasing gambling on the platform it is allowed as long as there is no direct mention of the betting platform, e.g. a gambler streaming on BC.Game a crypto casino is not allowed to show the platform’s logo, banners, sign-up links, etc. Whatever the full reason it was great to see HCL back where they belong, on YouTube.
Let’s have a look at the last hand of the night featuring Sashimi & Vixen. The blinds this week for Maximum Pain Monday were $10/$20/$$40/$100 + a $20 BB ante.
Sashimi ($10,250) got the action underway from the highjack with a raise to $400 with Ronnie ($7,840) had a respectable pair of eights , but elected to play it on the side of caution and just flatted. Out of position is never a fun place to be, having Pocket King’s definitely sweetens the deal though. Vixen ($6,230) in the small blind amped up the heat with a 3-bet to $1,200 with the cowboys . Laurence in the big blind ($9,260) also had a hand worth playing, pocket sevens he made the call. The third blind and straddler got out of the way, four players went to the flop creating a $4,960 pot.
. In the big blindWith so many players in the pot siding with caution is never a bad idea, however taking the stack-to-pot ratio into account, Vixen was unlikely to be going anywhere unless perhaps an Ace landed. the flop
was one she must have been happy with, on first glance Laurence and Ronnie were likely pretty optimistic too. First to act Vixen bet out $2,000 which surprisingly got Laurence to fold his pocket sevens. with $7k in the middle and Vixen having just $3k left behind this was probably not the time for Sashimi to be making moves. The fan-favorite raised it to $4,000 which was a little baffling, Vixen was unlikely to fold anything.The raise managed to get Ronnie to fold his pocket eights. with the action back on Vixen her play was to get the remainder of her stack “All in”. Being priced in Sashimi made the call and was a huge underdog to win the hand. On reflection, she would most likely agree, that getting fancy on the flop was not the way to go. Vixen simply did not have enough fold equity. The players agreed to run the hand just the once. After the
was followed by the Vixen scooped the huge $15k pot.
