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.
