Controversial social media playboy Dan Bilzerian has been added to Saturday's Hustler Casino Live stream that was already packed with celebs. <\/p>\n
Two years after referring to poker players as \"f*****g nerds,\" the former GGPoker ambassador will compete in a high stakes poker game at Hustler Casino in Los Angeles. And no doubt his presence on the livestream will bring about some criticism from some within the poker community, but also a substantial amount of viewers. <\/p>\n
Bilzerian, often referred to as a misogynist including by some within the poker community, is a polarizing figure on social media. But he also has millions of followers on platforms such as X and Instagram. <\/p>\n
On the felt, he's claimed to have won more than $50 million lifetime playing poker in nosebleed private games against celebrities and billionaires. Some have disputed that claim given there's no way for him to verify the results, but many believe what he's said to be true. <\/p>\n
Bilzerian will be joined on the Hustler Casino Live felt by a number of celebs such as Twitch streamer Ninja, NBA star Jimmy Butler, boxers Ryan Garcia and Chris Eubank Jr., and soccer legend Neymar, a PokerStars ambassador. Hustler Casino Live fan favorite Alan Keating will also be in the mix. <\/p>\n
The blinds in the game will be $50\/$100 with a $10,000 minimum buy-in, but HCL co-owner Ryan Feldman said he expects every player to buy-in for at least $50,000. <\/p>\n
Bilzerian doesn't appear often in public poker games, so this will give his fans and haters an opportunity to find out if his poker skills resemble that of which he claims. The wealthy Instagram influencer had some wonderful things to say about the poker community in June 2022 on the No Jumper Podcast. <\/p>\n
\"My goal with poker was always to play with people that were playing for fun,\" Bilzerian said. \"I wanted to play with the rich guy that was playing for fun, not the guy that was trying to be a f*****g killer. I wanted to play against these rich guys that were going there to f*****g, like, blow off some steam, f**k with their friends, show a big bluff, f**k some massage girls, whatever, get out of the house from the wife.\" <\/p>\n
\"Most poker players are f*****g nerds,\" Bilzerian told Adam22, who is also a poker enthusiast. \"I don't really hangout with that many of them, I don't really want to associate with them. I shut most of them out of my f*****g games. I never really let pros in.\" <\/p>\n
Bilzerian was referring to the modern high stakes pros. He won't be facing those players in the Hustler Casino Live game on Saturday. Instead, he'll be playing against a roster full of recreational players, which should be more to his liking. <\/p>\n
Viewership for the aforementioned stream should be up given the lineup, one that could rival the famous \"MrBeast Game\" in May 2022, which had over 100,000 concurrent viewers across all platforms, still a poker livestream record. Hustler Casino Live is fresh off the Million Dollar Game week earlier this month, which attracted 30,000+ concurrent viewers for much of the four shows. <\/p>\n
