Debut On Tuesday night’s Live at the Bike show, Hellmuth quit the game after losing a monster pot to Eric Hicks for the second day in a row.
The game’s headliner was initially anticipated to be Robbi Jade Lew, who will be making her first live stream appearance since the infamous Hustler Casino Live stream on Sept. 29. Yet, that all different in the meeting thanks to one $285,000 pot.
Hellmuth, who put $300,000 into the game, couldn’t get a break for the first few hours and lost about $80,000 before getting aggressive. Within a few hands, he had reduced his losses by approximately $30,000. Then everything broke apart.
With “8-Diamonds” and “6-Diamonds” in the big blind, Matt Berkey set off the fireworks by three-betting $5,500. The original raiser from under the gun was Hicks, also known as the “Mad Genius,” who placed a four-bet of up to $20,000 on “a-Diamonds, k-Diamonds.” Hellmuth then simply called the hijack with “k-Hearts” and “k-Clubs,” and Berkey gave up.
Hicks was dealt the nutter-butters when the flop came out “9-Diamonds-10-Diamonds-3-Diamonds.” He didn’t play slowly and made a $20,000 bet, which his opponent decided to take. On the turn, both players saw the “8-Hearts,” putting an end to any possibility of a “Poker Brat” suck-out. Hicks placed a $50,000 wager, still with the nuts, and received a call once more.
Some of the action was halted when the “4-Diamonds” on the river brought four cards to a flush. However, Hicks bet $50,000 for the second time in a row because he was still determined to maximize value. Even though Hellmuth did not have a diamond in his hand, he surprisingly made the call and lost the $285,000 pot.
He got up from his seat immediately after the hand, took his chips
And left the game about three hours into the stream with approximately $195,000 in losses. On their way out, a few players at the table insulted the Poker Hall of Famer.
“Phil, are you sure? As Hellmuth left the Park west Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles, Lew joked, “The only way to get out of a deep hole is to keep digging.”
Berkey said sarcastically, “At least he handled it well.”
Hellmuth would return 30 minutes after the fact to warmly greet the players and record a portion for Bally’s Enormous Bet Poker, a Bally Games satellite television poker show that movies during Inhabit the Bicycle streams.
Lew asked the “Poker Brat” if he would be back in the game on Wednesday night after his brief return to the live stream. Hellmuth, who had been scheduled to play for three consecutive nights, informed the table that he would not be playing the following two days because he had run so badly in the previous two sessions. During Monday’s Hustler Casino Live, his largest live stream loss in a decade, he lost over $150,000.
Hicks said shortly after the hand that he was disappointed that the fourth diamond hit on the river because he thought he could have gotten Hellmuth’s remaining $105,000 stack otherwise. Be that as it may, he can’t say anything negative a lot of about it since minutes after the fact he coolered “Aussie Al” with {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} on a failure of {8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} against {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}. “Aussie Al” was saved a little bit when the board ran out of “k-Hearts” and “k-Clubs,” but he still paid off a $20,000 bet on the river.
Honoring Robbi, Berkey Bluffs It Off
With a jack-four bounty on the table, Berkey attempted to play the hand that Lew called Garrett Adelstein with in the controversial 2022 Hustler Casino Live hand.
Hicks decided to slow-play his pocket kings and called after Berkey three-bet preflop with the infamous hand to $7,000 The preflop raiser continued for the same bet when the flop came out 5-7-q-, and he was called.
Berkey had a pair when the turn came, but he decided to check. However, Hicks’s $15,000 bet was not enough to convince his opponent to fold.
Berkey jammed all in for $61,000 when the “a-” appeared on the river. He saw an opportunity to pull off a bluff. Sadly, Hicks, the founder of Solve for Why, discovered the call and is an insane genius. It would appear that only Robbi Jade Lew is capable of winning substantial pots using jack-four.
