Keating to Compete in 24-Hour Marathon Game and Everyone’s Bringing $1 Million
What an epic 24-hour poker livestream! Last month, on December 2, Hustler Casino Live (HCL) turned up the heat with a marathon game featuring millions of dollars on the table. The action kicked off at 2 p.m. PT, and producer Ryan Feldman hoped the cards would keep flying until the same time the next day.
This wasn’t just an average Tuesday night game. To join this No-Limit Hold’em battle, players had to bring at least $1 million to the table. If they don’t have the cash, they simply weren’t allowed to play.
End the Poker Party with Alan Keating
While the poker world prepares for big tournaments like the WSOP Paradise and the WPT World Championship, HCL started December with a bang. Each player started with a massive $500,000 stack, and everyone had to have at least one rebuy ready.
The lineup was packed with stars. Fan favorites Alan Keating and Nikhil “Nik Airball” Arcot will lead the charge. They’ll be joined by HCL regulars like Sam Kiki (known as “Senor Tilt”) , Peter Wang, and DoorDash co-founder Stanley Tang. Other popular faces include “Jellyfish” and Steve, who famously won a $540,000 pot earlier this year. He has certainly made his mark in this event.
This event marked Keating’s return to HCL for the first time since his huge $1.4 million win in April. Although he’s a crowd favorite, he only plays on the stream a few times a year, making this a must-watch event. He has also been in the news lately for speaking out against a documentary that used AI to create fake quotes from him.
The game featured $500/$1,000 blinds with a $2,000 big blind ante. To keep things exciting, “Squid Game” side bets and bounty games made the swings even bigger. While HCL was the first to host a 24-hour poker stream back in 2023, the stakes this time were much higher. Since it was a marathon, we could expect players to come and go as the day went on.
