The biggest YouTube poker channel, Hustler Casino Live, has announced that it will stream live from Cyprus this week, starting on November 25 and ending on November 30. As usual, we expect high-energy action and some high-profile guests like Jungleman, Rob Yong, Ryan Feldman, and others.
In the debut stream, we saw high-stakes poker and a high production level, as expected, but some fun characters and familiar faces were missing. This was not that surprising as it’s hard to expect all the HCL regulars to fly to Europe and play, so we can expect to see some new faces and maybe new rising stars in the making.
The streams will be hosted at Onyx Club, which provides a top-tier gaming experience and private high-stakes poker games.
Debut Steam Action
The first hand on the stream was a big one. Rob Yong opened 4♠4♥ from CO to $500, Harissa 3-bet from BTN to $1,800, Ryan Feldman 4-bet from SB to $7,000 holding A♥K♣, and Yong then went for an aggressive 5-bet to $25,000. Harissa folded, Feldman shoved for $50,000, and Yong called. The pot was $102,200.
They decided to run it once, and the runout was 9♥4♦K♠8♣9♠, giving Yong a considerable lead from the flop after he hit a set over Feldman’s king. Turn and river did not help Feldman, and Yong won a $102,200 pot.
Feldman Back on the Track
Harissa opened from CO to $2,000 with Q♠10♠, Feldman 3-bet to $8,500 from BTN with A♠9♠, Harissa shoved $49,200, and Feldman called. The pot was $99,300.
They ran it twice. The first board came A♦5♣6♠4♦Q♣, giving Feldman back half of the money he lost to Yong. The second runout was 8♥5♦3♠4♣8♣, securing the full pot for Feldman.
Feldman Pulls the Trigger, But Misses!
Handz open-limped from HJ with 10♠8♠, Harissa called from CO, Feldman squeezed to $3,000 from BTN holding K♥8♥, Dave 3-bet to $10,000 from the BB with A♣Q♠, and only Feldman called. The pot was $21,500.
The flop came 7♦A♥6♥, giving both players something, but Dave was ahead with a top pair of aces. Dave c-bet for $8,000, Feldman called. The pot was $37,500.
The turn was J♣, Dave checked, and Feldman bet $15,000, but Dave just called. The pot was $67,500.
The river was 5♦, and Dave checked again. Feldman pulled the trigger and shoved for $64,300, putting Dave in a tough spot. Dave said he only sees two scenarios: calling and losing or folding and being bluffed. Eventually, he makes the call and is relieved. Dave won the pot of $128,600,
