The third edition of Hustler Casino Live'sMillion Dollar Game begins Monday, and there's a strong possibility fans could witness the largest pot in livestream poker history.

That's a bold prediction, but certainly realistic. The largest pot ever on TV or livestream occurred during the first series of MDG's in May 2023, and it went for $3,081,000. Tom "durrrr" Dwan, holding pocket queens with no over cards on the board, caught "Wes Side" Wesley Fei bluffing with ace-king.

Wesley's play is still the costliest bluff ever captured on video. There will be plenty of huge bluffs attempted during this week's $1 million minimum buy-in action — April 28 to May 2 — at Hustler Casino in Los Angeles. One such hand could create a pot larger than the aforementioned one scooped by Dwan.

But it might not take a mistimed bluff to break the near-$3.1 million record. A cooler or even one of the players overplaying top pair or two pair could do the trick. Either way, the lineup sets up nicely for a record-breaking pot.

The high-profile players in the games — Alan Keating, Michael "Texas Mike" Moncek, Peter Wang, and Nikhil "Nik Airball" Arcot — are aggressive, loose, gamblers by nature, and well-bankrolled. And, equally important to building a pot that surpasses Dwan's, they know how to entertain an audience that craves massive pots.

Going to Be an Entertaining Poker Game

Moncek, who is scheduled to play on Day 1 (Monday), has some revenge to get this year. He won $516,000 during the first MDG session last year, but then lost over $2.7 million on Day 3 for a net loss of $2,231,500.

The University of Texas alum is playing great poker this year. He dominated the PokerGO Cup in February, a PokerGO Tour series, to the tune of four top three cashes and one win. Will it translate to cash game success and some revenge in the Million Dollar Game? We'll find out this week.

Moncek will compete in Monday's game against Keating, Peter, and a "Wild Card" who hasn't been announced. Doug Polk, in a recent YouTube video, teased the wild card could be Daniel Negreanu, who has said he'd be open to playing on Hustler Casino Livein the near future now that GGPoker co-owns the show. The odds of that prediction coming to reality aren't likely, however. But if Polk's right, viewership would go through the roof.

If the record-breaking pot chase and Moncek's revenge tour aren't the most intriguing storylines to follow this week, Nik Airball's performance might be. The polarizing figure returned to Hustler Casino LiveMarch 28 following a one-year ban from Hustler Casino. Over the past month, he's been on a heater, save for a rough session this past Friday. He's scheduled to enter Wednesday's game in what might be the most stacked lineup of the MDG with Keating, Moncek, Peter, and Steve also in the game.

Speaking of Steve, if there's a player to follow who doesn't get the mainstream attention of Nik Airball, Keating, and Moncek, this is your guy. He brings action and he is on the short list of players likely to be involved in the biggest pot ever.

You may recall Steve from his appearances on the current High Stakes PokerSeason 14 or for "winning" one of the most infamous livestreamed poker hands ever last year during the Million Dollar Game against "Thomas," a mystery player wearing a facemask to disguise his identity.

Thomas, as PokerNewsuncovered but was never cited in copycat news articles, turned out to be embattled attorney Tom Goldstein, who is facing felony charges for tax evasion related to his poker winnings. Goldstein, in the referenced hand, mucked the winning hand at showdown in a $540,000 pot against Steve, who told PokerNewshe is an avid luxury watch connoisseur.

Poker Fans Love Keating

One thing is almost certain, and that is a large chunk of the thousands who will be watching the Million Dollar Game will be rooting for Keating, who has long been a fan favorite on Hustler Casino Live.

Keating, who recently launched a YouTube channel, is likely to either win or lose millions this week given his gambler mentality. He profited $1,942,000 across two sessions during MDG II, and he's scheduled to play Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Friday's schedule is still up in the air.

Keating has a chance to make history. He is capable of being involved in the largest livestreamed poker hand ever, and he recently took down the biggest pot in High Stakes Pokerhistory — $1,412,500.

The Million Dollar Game action begins on YouTbue at 1:30 p.m. PT Monday with a pregame show.
