Hustler Casino Live is no stranger to loose plays, but this one really takes the cake.
Wednesday’s $100/$100 No-Limit Hold’em stream featured a wild night for “Jellyfish,” who first lost a $221,600 pot against Ryan Feldman, only to come back and torch a rebuilt six-figure stack, piling his chips in with eight-three offsuit against pocket aces.
Was this the worst played hand of the year?
Setting the Scene
Jellyfish bought into the game for $30,000 but dusted off his first bullet in short order. The construction developer then reloaded for another three racks of high society and ran it up past $100,000, only to see it all disappear in a clash with HCL co-founder Ryan Feldman.
Feldman limped from under the gun with 9♠9♥, and Jellyfish followed suit from the hijack holding Q♣4♣. Big Mike raised to $700 on the cutoff with 9♦8♦, Turbo called on the button with 2♥2♦, and Doc Hollywood put in a $6,000 squeeze from the small blind with A♠J♦. None of the four opponents folded, and the five of them went to a loaded 10♥9♣6♣ flop.
After Doc Hollywood checked, Feldman led for $10,000. Jellyfish raised to $50,000, leaving $45,700 behind. The action folded back to Feldman, who moved all in to put Jellyfish at risk. Jellyfish called, setting up a $221,600 pot.
It was middle set for Feldman against Jellyfish’s flush draw, and the two agreed to run it twice. The clubs never came on either board, shipping the entire pot to Feldman and sending Jellyfish back to the cage, where he bought in again for another $50,000.
Jellyfish Stung By Aces
Once again, Jellyfish rebounded, spinning his third bullet into another six-figure stack. But before long, every chip was back in the middle and what happened next was truly unbelievable.
With a $400 straddle on and the progressive stand-up game in play, Jellyfish limped the button with the “octo-crab” 8♦3♠. Big Mike picked up A♥A♦ in the small blind and raised to $2,000. Doc Hollywood 9♦6♠ and Peter K♣Q♦ called before Jellyfish back-raised to $15,000. Big Mike clicked it to $38,000, forcing out the others, but Jellyfish decided to stick around.
On the J♣9♥4♥ flop, Jellyfish floated with his eight-high, calling a bet of $14,000. He picked up some equity on the 3♣ turn, but when Big Mike jammed, he called off the $49,700 he had left.
Jellyfish had the chance to pull off the bad beat of the night, but both runouts bricked, leaving Big Mike’s aces untouched and Jellyfish out the door.
