Jon Sofen

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Winning $1.2 million across three sessions on Hustler Casino Live during the Million Dollar Game isn't newsworthy. But doing so any other time of year is rare.

Henry Guttman, aka "King Henry," was the biggest winner on the show for three straight appearances over the past two weeks, and he more than doubled his lifetime HCL profits. The heater every poker player dreams about began on a June 11 stream where he won $276,250. It was just the start of a seven-figure run.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Judith Alto open-shoved all-in in hijack and got a caller in Jessica Marks, taking them to showdown.

Jessica Marks: Q♠K♣ All in
Judith Alto: 6♥6♠

Marks spiked a pair and caught an open-ended straight draw on the flop 10♦K♠J♦, leaving Alto to hope for a miracle. Alto was drawing dead when the turn 9♣ completed Marks' straight. The river 3♥ was a formality.

Alto was left with less than a big blind as Marks scooped the pot for a double up.

All the chips went in the middle preflop, with Alisa Baumann being at risk for a remaining stack around 220,000 against Julie Huynh.

Alisa Baumann: A♣3♦ All in
Julie Huynh: J♦J♠

Baumann was dominated but she first found a board 10♣2♠A♥6♦ to give her a pair of aces. However, a J♥ showed up on the river to give a set to Huynh and she made her way to the payout desk.

Action was followed from when Susan Faber was already all-in on the button for her remaining 200,000 and up against Tsz Liu from the hijack.

The players had just flipped their cards.
