Henry is introduced as a financial professional and has become a regular poker player on Hustler Casino Live. Eric was appearing for the first time on the show and had been invited by Saya Ono, little more is known about him. Andy Stacks is a well known professional poker player & GGPoker Ambassador originally from Taiwan who currently resides in Los Angeles, United States. Over the last decade, Andy Stacks has established himself as one of the most recognizable faces on live poker streams playing regularly on ‘Hustler Casino Live’ and ‘Live At The Bike’. Andy is known for his calm and quiet demeanor at the poker table and was given his nickname “Andy Stacks” from the monstrous towers of poker chips that are almost always in front of him.

This high stakes poker hand took place at the Hustler Casino Live casino in Los Angeles, California.

🃏 Preflop:
The action starts with Henry who opts to raise with K9s from the cutoff, Will defends his big blind with QJo. Eric in the straddle looks down at pocket jacks aka the Jiggities and decides to 3-bet to $6,400. Both Henry and Will decide to call as all three of them head to the flop.

🔥 Flop - Kd Kc 9c:
Henry couldn't have really asked for a better flop as he cannot believe his eyes as he flops a full house! Will, who has a gutshot, decides to check to the preflop aggressor. Eric continues to tell his story of strength with a small continuation bet of $6,000. Henry correctly identifies that this is a spot that he should slowplay and elects for a call. Will folds in the big blind.

💪 Turn - Jc:
The turn is an absolute disaster for Eric but he doesn't know it as he now hits a full house too. Eric now thinks he is laying the trap as he decides to get tricky and check. Henry quite rightly wants to keep building a pot and sends out a bet of $15,000. Eric makes an easy call. He doesn't want to scare his opponent away in case he is bluffing as he believes he has the hand locked up!

🚀 River - 2d:
The river card changes nothing in their relative hand strength. Eric decides to check again, praying that Henry fires again. His prayers are answered as Henry shoves for $48,500 into the $62,500 pot. Eric snap calls and is shown the terrible news, his full house is no good!

    Do you think Andy was right to be so angry at the fact that Eric left the game early? 🤔
  • @Stream_King
    Obviously, there's nothing stopping him from leaving, but in these high stake games there are many people who would love to get in the game, but get shut out. So, if you were invited to play, there is a strong expectation that you will stay in the game until the stream is over. It's poor ettiquette to leave early unless you get gutted. He won't be invited back.
  • @ZakFromOhio
    He's okay to leave but I would never expect another invite.
  • @jarirepo1172
    It's within Erics rights to leave, but it's no wonder Andy gets annoyed about it. When they start 6-handed,. one player leaving is a big chunk of people on the table to start with. But if Eric was on tilt after that beat I don't blame him too much for not being able to think things through from others perspective. Maybe stakes were a bit too high for him so that beat hit too hard, but then he should not be there in the first place.
  • @seslocrit9365
    Andy was right to be pissed off but Eric was right to leave. Just don't invite Eric back (and he wasn't invited back after this). I have a feeling he was gambling with rent money.
  • Andy was only mad because he left with money. Had he got busted it would have been “ok man have a great night, come back and see me” Hahaha
  • @brianfritz575
    If the organizer wants a full table... have some players standing by, who would like the chance to get in, if a player drops out. This was so short of being a fully seated table, sounds like this in more a f'up by the organizer, than any of the players.
  • @idarwish23
    him leaving is an absolute tell he is playing over his head and afraid to continue. Thats my 2 cents.
  • @Name-fy9ky
    If they had to turn people away from playing in order to accommodate Eric why were they only playing 6-handed? Have more than 6 players if you don’t want the game to break.
  • @Frank7489
    Unless they agreed to staying for a certain amount of time beforehand, if someone wants to leave, let them leave
  • @nathanhollis8629
    Andy is totally chill as long as he’s the only pro in a super deep, loose game where he can add on to cover the table and none of his money can leave the table for 6 hours
  • @shteebo
    He can leave, but it's bad for the game, and he can't be upset when they don't invite him back. I've never played those stakes, but a related situation occurs in any card room when the high game gets short-handed and is in danger of breaking. In that case, it's courteous for a player, though ready to leave, to play on for a while hoping new players arrive so his exit won't break the game. IMO, such courtesies are more a responsibility of regular players than casual ones.
  • @jacobpeng5810
    Can you share the original link to this live stream please?
  • The main reason they don't want him to go is that they know he's tilted. If he stays, he's 100% guaranteed to give back all of the winnings. Any other posturing they have about wanting to keep the game going is simply what poker players do. Trying to separate you from your money.
  • It's valid. The feeling of the winner leaving when you're down really sucks and can't imagine the pain at higher stakes.
  • @tyler3970
    It's an unwritten rule. Some follow some don't. Just remember who don't.
  • @RCTricking
    Agree allowed and etiquette are different. didn't get invited back understandably.
  • @Artharas
    I mean it sucks because it might break up the game but Andy isn't pissed because of that but because he won't get a chance to win back his money. So yeah it's fine that he left, the organizer should probably have people on standby if they care about the game not breaking up because at least for me, if I get tilted I'd rather just walk away, up or down.
  • @ryanasselin4564
    Yea, I think he is wrong for leaving. Should have played until the end. If he really did have an agreement with someone that he was leaving early everyone playing should have been notified before hand.
