Hustler Casino Live will not be livestreaming at Hustler Casino in Los Angeles on Friday night like it has done weekly for nearly four years.

No, the show hasn't been cancelled. Instead, the most popular poker livestream is airing the first of a handful of special High Stakes Live cash games at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas.

The game will be $100/$200 no-limit hold'em with a $50,000 minimum buy-in. Many Hustler Casino Live regulars such as Nik Airball and Britney will be in action. PokerGO's Brent Hanks and high roller Alan Keating will be in the booth commentating on the game. As HCL co-owner Ryan Feldman said, this is just the start of the LA cash game show partnering with the WSOP.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Daniel Geyser raised from the small blind, Jeff Madsen three-bet from the big blind, Geyser made it four bets, and Madsen called.

On the A♣Q♦5♦ flop, Geyser led, Madsen raised, and Geyser put in his last 30,000.

Daniel Geyser: A♥K♠6♣2♣ All in
Jeff Madsen: A♠6♦5♥2♥

Both paired their ace, but Madsen also paired his five. They also had the same low draw. However, the board ran out high without a king as it came J♥9♣, and Geyser did not improve. He fell to the two-pair of Madsen to exit on the final table bubble.

Once more they drew two and Mozdzen bet to see Madsen call.

Jeff Madsen: 6♣5♥4♠2♣A♦ All in
Clayton Mozdzen: K♦6♦3♦2♥A♠

Madsen's six-five and six-badugi were good to scoop the pot, and the WSOP bracelet winner survived.

Klein checked once more on the 3♦ turn. Li put out another bet of 225,000, and Klein stuck around with a call after a minute's tank.

The A♦ river checked through. Klein shrugged, prompting Li to table his K♠Q♣, which was the winner.

The world of poker strategy has become increasingly solver-driven over the last decade, with players obsessing over balanced ranges, GTO outputs, and technical perfection.

But according to Nacho Cuesta, creator of Master Poker Tells, there’s still a huge part of the game many players are completely overlooking: human behavior.

Cuesta has spent the last five years building what he describes as a structured system for reading live poker tells, breaking down unconscious behaviors into categories including eye movement, betting patterns, verbal cues, and body language. In the process, he says he identified something missing from almost all traditional tells content - structure.
