Million Dollar Cash Game at Live at the Bike featuring Antonio Esfandiari and Matt Berkey

Live at the Bike decided to raise the stakes again. The poker streaming site that usually shows $5/$5 and $10/$10 games is now putting together a star-studded line-up for a $100/$200/$400 cash game!

Live at the Bike regularly brings you cash action from the famous Bicycle Hotel & Casino in Los Angeles, California.

Some of poker’s best known names have played in front of LATB’s cameras, including Doug Polk, Joe Ingram and Daniel “Jungleman” Cates. That being said, a lot of their content is mid-stakes cash game with virtually unknown players at the table. However, this is not one of those games.

Live at the Bike announced they’re bringing back their Million Dollar Cash Game. The blinds are going to be $100/$200/$400 with an extra $400 Big Blind Ante. The minimum buy-in is $100,000. That means the players will play super deep, with at least 250 BB stacks in front of them at the start. This will allow for plenty of “creative” lines.

Who’s in the Line-up – Antonio Esfandiari and the Others

So far 5 people are confirmed to appear on the stream.  The biggest star among them is undoubtedly Antonio Esfandiari. “The Magician” still holds the record of most money won in a single poker tournament. In 2012, he won the $1,000,000 buy-in WSOP Big One for One Drop for no less than $18,346,673. That was his second WSOP bracelet.

Matt Berkey, an American poker pro with over $4 million in live cashes is also in the mix. He’s also appeared on another popular poker show, Poker Night in America, multiple times. In addition, three Live at the Bike regulars – Garrett Adelstein, Bill Klein and Nick Vertucci – are confirmed to play in the game as well.

Keep in mind, however, that this is not the full line-up, more players are yet to be announced. If it’s going to be truly a “million dollar cash game” at least five more $100,000 starting stacks are needed at the table.

The First Live at the Bike Million Dollar Cash Game

This is the second time LATB puts on a super high stakes cash game show. Only a few months ago, in December last year they streamed their first Million Dollar Cash Game.

Some of those players are returning. Matt Berkey, Garrett Alderstein and Nick Vertucci were featured in the first episode and they are confirmed to re-appear again. Then, they were joined by poker player and rapper Prahlad Friedman, American poker pro Art Papazyan and others. The addition of Antonio Esfandiari is a definite improvement, since no poker legend of his status appeared on the first Million Dollar Cash Game stream.

Here are some of the biggest hands of that game.

This is a double cooler that Andy got the best of. He won a $75,000 pot with his nut flush, over Matt Berkey’s third nut flush and Ralph Wong’s flopped set that he folded.

This is Matt Berkey triple-barrelling his J7 against Nick Vertucci’s Aces. It worked, Berkey took down that $83,000 pot.
