Hustler's Million Dollar Game Comes to WSOP for First Time
Ryan Feldman says the WSOP debut of the high-stakes cash game could be the biggest edition yet.
Hustler Casino Live producer Ryan Feldman says the World Series of Poker's Million Dollar Game — making its first-ever WSOP appearance — could surpass every previous edition of the high-stakes livestreamed cash game.
Why It Matters
The Million Dollar Game commands some of the largest buy-ins and highest per-hand action in televised poker, drawing recreational whales and elite professionals alike. Hosting it at the WSOP for the first time signals a meaningful convergence between the live-streamed cash-game format that Hustler Casino Live popularised and the world's most recognised poker brand. For viewers and bettors, that combination could produce record pot sizes and audience numbers. Feldman's confidence — quoted directly by Poker.org as of June 2026 — gives the event genuine promotional weight rather than routine hype.
Context
Hustler Casino Live built its audience through high-stakes cash games streamed from the Los Angeles area, most notably producing the September 2022 controversy involving Robbi Jade Lew that put the format on mainstream radar. The WSOP, held annually in Las Vegas, has historically focused on tournament poker; integrating a Hustler-style cash-game spectacle marks a strategic expansion of its content offering.
What's Next
The game is scheduled to run during the current WSOP series (as of June 2026); Feldman's remarks to Poker.org suggest lineup announcements and viewership targets will follow shortly. Player confirmations and final buy-in structures will determine whether the event delivers on its record-breaking billing.
