He’s become a regular on the HCL streams, and his swings on the stream the last few months have been well-documented. Outside of his involvement in recent poker drama, Persson made headlines while playing on No Gamble, No Future and being on the losing end of the biggest pot in televised history.įew players have had as meteoric a rise in poker in such a short time as Ethan ‘Rampage’ Yau. When he talks trash, he backs it up with cash, and love him or hate him, Persson makes for a compelling viewing experience. The casino owner and leader of “Maverick Nation” mixes it up with his no-holds-barred personality, his incredible VPIP numbers, and a willingness to put in heaps of money in potentially dangerous spots.

It’s basically taken just a year for Persson to go from poker unknown, to flipping the double bird at Hellmuth in the PokerGO Studio, to becoming one of the biggest draws in nosebleed-stakes poker.

It’s clear that Eric Persson is the centerpiece for the Million Dollar Game and, as mentioned by Feldman, he was one of (if not the) very first people that was offered a seat at this livestreamed table. While the specific lineups are yet to be locked in, Feldman revealed 12 players who have committed to playing at least one day, and as you might expect, it’s a combination of some of the most familiar faces seen weekly on the HCL streams and a handful of wealthy poker enthusiasts in the mix. The next question, naturally, is which players will take part in a game that seems likely to crush several livestreaming poker records over those three days.

As announced by Ryan Feldman and Nick Vertucci on Joey Ingram’s YouTube channel Wednesday afternoon, there will be three long days of $500/$1,000 with a $1,000 big blind ante from Saturday, May 27 through Monday, May 29. The long-rumored, highly anticipated Hustler Casino Live $1 million buy-in cash game is official. Ethan ‘Rampage’ Yau, Eric Persson, and Nik Arcot (aka ‘Nik Airball’) will be included in Hustler Casino Live’s Million Dollar Game.
