The Million Dollar Game on Hustler Casino Live kicked off with a massive night of action as Alan Keating lived up to his billing as the most aggressive player of the line-up. After 12 hours and 40 minutes of cash game action that were streamed live on HCL’s channel, Alan Keating was the biggest winner, ending with a stack of $1,699,500.

The Polymarket odds ahead of the game saw thousands wagered on the win for the infamous cash game player. Keating didn’t let his fans down, providing the spark for much of the action. Certainly, when compared to Nik Airball, Keating was the much more aggressive player, having a 64% VPIP ratio to Airball’s 35%.

Despite entering more pots than anyone, Keating fell just short of the 70% VPIP that the market was open on via Polymarket. The line was set well, however, with the odds reflecting just a 28% chance that Keating would hit the 70% VPIP mark. He sat 6% shy of that target, paying off more bettors than not.

The biggest pot of the night saw controversial character Martin Kabrhel one of two players to lose to Keating in a pot worth over $2.1 million. Keating's Pocket Tens met with the dream flop, making a Full House of Tens over Jacks as Kabrhel and Steve both hit Trip Jacks. That flop ended up costing both of Keating's opponents in a big way as the cash game legend scooped.

Who were the other winners and losers?

Brandon Steven, was the biggest loser on the night, ending the action $2 million down in cumulative earnings. Stanley Tang ended the evening $700,000 up but the Door Dash co-founder, famed for his exciting hands on High Stakes Poker, was way ahead of Sam ‘Senor Tilt’ Kiki, who would have been raging at finishing the first session $110,000 down to his opponents.
