Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Brian Rast and Chris Hunichen were heads-up on a board of 9♥8♦9♠2♥ when Rast bet 85,000 from under the gun. Hunichen called in the big blind.

The river was the 9♣ Rast assembled a bet of 350,000 and slid it into the middle. Hunichen gave the decision some thought but ultimately mucked as Rast took down the pot.

This is One of the Gutsiest Plays You'll Ever See in a Poker Game

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Day 1 of the Hustler Casino Live Million Dollar Game was bonkers, with three pots hitting $1 million (okay, two, but one was a couple big blinds away, so we'll count it).

Tom Dwan lost $992,000, including a brutal bad beat pot worth over $1.1 million. But the night won't be remembered for "durrrr's" rough session. It will be known as the evening Michael "Texas Mike" Moncek pulled off one of the greatest bluffs ever witnessed on live stream.

Watch how the crazy hand played out

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Xiaohu Liu three-bet to 60,000 on the button before Daniel Weinman moved all in for around 300,000 in the cutoff. Liu took out his camera and began filming the action as he called to put the reigning world champion at risk.

Daniel Weinman: K♠Q♦ All in
Xiaohu Liu: A♠K♥

Weinman was crushed by Liu's better king as the K♣4♣4♥ flop gave both players two pair. The rest of the board came 10♥2♠ and Liu's ace-kicker played to send Weinman to the rail.

Bryce McVay opened to 20,000 from the cutoff and Robert Zeidman shoved all in from the small blind for 203,000. When the action got back to McVay, he made the call.

Robert Zeidman: A♥K♠ All in
Bryce McVay: 10♣10♦

Zeidman didn't find any help from the first four cards on the board, J♣7♦7♠8♣, but the river card K♥ saved him from elimination.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Daniel Weinman in the big blind and Pedro Bromfman, sitting under the gun, were all in before the flop.

Daniel Weinman: A♠A♦ All in
Pedro Bromfman: Q♣Q♥

The board was K♥K♦A♥2♥6♣, giving Weinman a full house and the double-up.

The very next hand the players were all in preflop yet again:

Daniel Weinman: Q♥10♥
Pedro Bromfman: K♠Q♠ All in

This time Weinman had to come from behind. The flop was 8♣4♣4♠, the turn Q♦ gave both players two pair, but Bromfman had the better kicker and was way ahead. However, the lucky 10♠ on the river gave the champ the win yet again, and Bromfman had to hit the rail.
