Biography

Wesley Fei is a high-stakes poker player and a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream.

Known more commonly as just "Wesley" or "Wes Side Wesley," Fei only began playing poker in early 2022 when a friend introduced him to the game. He claims to have made millions of dollars investing, mostly in cryptocurrency.

In early 2022, Wesley popped up on Hustler Casino Live and was originally known as a loose player who would play just about any two cards. He's since tightened up and changed his poker image as he's begun to study the game more.

In December 2023, Wesley accused fellow HCL player Tony Mars of cheating a Southern California private game out of $3 million. One day later, Mars issued a statement to PokerNews denying the allegations and attacked Wesley's character.

In October 2023, Fei and his former HCL rival Benjamin Lee ("Blank Check Ben") called out a fraudster for allegedly pitting them against each other to extort money out of them both.
