Although the game took a bit of a step back on day 2, with four of the eventual seven players buying in for $500,000 instead of $1 million, there were still plenty of seven-figure pots to battle over in Hustler Casino Live’s Million Dollar Game.
But it was a much different result for entertaining high roller ‘Texas’ Mike Moncek, who ran over the table on Monday, playing nearly every hand on his way to a $1.5 million profit.
He gave it all back and then some on Wednesday, dusting off $1.7 million with some very ambitious hero calls and a propensity to play 7-2 like its aces (even though the 7-2 game isn’t on.)

Peter Wang was another big winner from Monday, finishing the session up $700,000 after picking off a huge bluff attempt from Alan Keating in a $2 million pot.
Moncek’s night would have been even worse if not for Wang, who also couldn’t get anything going and quickly ran aces into a set of jacks to lose more than half his buy in.

Wang would finish the night as the only other loser, giving back a little more than $600,000 of his winnings. That was good news for the rest of the table, who all managed to book wins.
A young high-stakes newcomer named Jasper had a rollercoaster sessions filled with numerous ups and downs and some head-scratching hero calls, but managed to quit while he was ahead to the tune of $145,000 profit.
Britney Jing bought in for $500,000 and almost immediately doubled up thanks to a cooler when her flopped flush held against Nikhil ‘Airball’ Arcott’s top set.
She would finish the session up $350,000, quitting when Wang showed up to take her seat.
Despite losing his initial buy in to Jing, Arcott was able to rebound and finished in the black, racking up with a profit of $375,000. He is now up $775,000 overall after playing for the last hour on day 1.
Keating was steady throughout the day with only a few hiccups, and finished up $620,000, bringing his two-day total to $1.07 million.
But the big winner of the evening was Haralabos Voulgaris, who played his $500,000 stack to virtually break even for the first eight hours and then soared up the leaderboard during the final hour of three-handed play.
The former NBA analyst and soccer team owner finished up $820,000.
The game continues on Thursday with the buy in bumped back up to $1`million and the addition of Brandon Steven and Stanley Tang.
