Garrett Adelstein Takes Revenge on Hustler Casino Live Slow-Roller in $390,000 Pot
A week after dylan gang infamous Garrett Adelstein rolled slowly to Live Hustler Casinothe latter got his revenge in the form of a $390,000 pot on Friday night.
the $100/$200/$400 The no-limit hold’em live stream had been hyped on social media and lived up to its billing, especially for Adelstein fans. The game started at 3:00 p.m. PT with the stream starting at 5:00 p.m., and there were some early flexes between the two poker players.
Adelstein bought for $100,000 initially and Gang, clearly trying to cover it in response to “G-Man” doing the same last week after the slow hand, sat down with $101,000.
Run it once
Shortly after the full table started, Adelstein added another $150,000 and covered everyone at the table. Gang, who certainly didn’t make any friends among the very pro-Garrett Hustler Casino Live audience last week, would end up rounding out a bit too.
That said, there wasn’t much verbal confrontation between the high-stakes players on Friday. Adelstein, considered by many to be one of the classiest players in the game, has made it clear on social media over the past week that he considered “inconsequential” idle. But that didn’t stop fans from eagerly anticipating a clash with Gang, and they got exactly what they were looking for for a few hours in the live stream.

appeared. This gave Adelstein top two pair, and he bet $35,000 after the big blind checked.
Gang, chasing a flush, went semi-bluff all-in for $167,900. Adelstein got up from his seat and asked for a chip count before deciding he couldn’t fold with such a strong hand. With $389,500 in the pot, almost 1,000 big blinds, Adelstein announced that he only wanted to run the river once, his usual request.
The river made no sense 
, and the pot was shipped in the direction of the Southern California high-stakes poker legend. Gang quietly out CasinoHustler around $200,000 for the session.
It probably won’t be the final battle between these two poker players, but Round 2 went to Adelstein in a big way. He sent a somewhat cryptic message without mentioning Gang in a tweet after the huge prize pool.

Adelstein ended the session with just over $200,000. In his post-match interview, he said there were no hard feelings with Gang and that he hoped his nemesis would come back “ready to fight” in the future.
