Controversies and Big Losses: The Million Dollar Game at Hustler Casino


Four sessions of the Million Dollar Game were held at Hustler Casino last week. The second session was short and boring, leading to criticism from viewers. Tom Dwan was promised to play every day but was not included in the final session, which he found surprising and disappointing.

Doug Polk played only one day and did not return due to the promised player composition. He expressed his disappointment on Twitter, stating that he was expecting a different lineup. Despite the controversies, the last two sessions were filled with action, thanks to players like Alan Kiting and his friends.

Michael 'Texas Mike' Moncek lost $2.7 million in a few hours during the third session. His poor performance included a notable hand where he lost against Alan Kiting, who collected a nats-flush. Moncek's final hand saw him lose against Kiting, leading to his exit from the casino. Alan Kiting's father, Howard Kiting, was the CEO of Keating Network, which helped small and medium-sized businesses attract over $1 billion in external financing.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
