High-Stakes Showdown: 12 Millionaires to Battle in $1M Buy-In Poker Game

Twelve high-stakes players, including Ethan “Rampage” Yau, Nik “Airball” Arcot, Door Dash founder Stanley Tang, and billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya, will compete in a $1 million buy-in cash game at Hustler Casino Live. The event, dubbed “The Million Dollar Game,” is set to be the biggest livestreamed poker game in history. The 3-day extravaganza will see stakes of $500/$1000 with a $1000 BB ante, promising some of the biggest pots ever seen on a livestream.

Among the confirmed players is Eric Persson, the CEO of Maverick Gaming, who is no stranger to high-stakes games. Ethan Yau, better known as “Rampage,” was recently named as a brand and online poker ambassador for WPT Global. His live record is impressive, with huge wins in both tournament and cash games. Nik “Airball” Arcot is another notable participant, currently involved in a high-stakes Grudge Match with Matt Berkey.

Rob Yong, the owner of Dusk Till Dawn casino, will be making his first trip to the California casino. Investment banker “Blank Check” Ben and hedge fund manager Mark “Double M” Radoja, known for frequenting the New York high-stakes games, will also take a seat. Brandon Steven, a billionaire entrepreneur and car dealership owner, has more than $6million in tournament cashes. Chamath Palihapitiya, a billionaire and former Facebook executive, will be hoping to put some of his hard-earned cash to good use. The other half-dozen $million pockets include baccarat pro Mikki Mase, as well as HCL regs “Prince Charles”, “JR” and Stanley Tang.
