Keating will be the biggest draw in the 24-hour game and the entire week, but there are some other deep pocket players scheduled to compete. That record was cracked months later and in June 2023, Tom Dwan won a $3.1 million pot on the show, which is the largest ever in live-streamed poker history.
During that marathon stream, Keating won the biggest pot in HCL history at the time - $749,000. In August 2022, a Friday night show became a Saturday morning breakfast show. Hustler Casino Live has hosted numerous marathon sessions, but never close to streaming for a full day. As for if anyone will play the full session, Feldman is unsure but thinks it's possible a couple players could grind through it. So, the plan is to rotate different announcers in every few hours. It would be difficult for commentators to work the entire session. 'Ideally, players will give me a warning when they're thinking about leaving and I'll have a backup ready to go.' 'It will be a lot of work logistically,' Feldman said. Feldman explain that for players, 'the plan will be to have a wait list and have players on standby ready to come in on-call between certain hours as players bust or quit.' As such, there's a plan in place to ensure they make it through the full 24 hours.
