Silence After the Laughter: Kabrhel Loses a $2 Million Pot to Keating
The 24-hour "Million Dollar Marathon" is currently running at Hustler Casino Live – a high stakes cash game with blinds of $500/$1,000. Today’s star is once again Alan Keating, who squared off against Martin Kabrhel in a record-breaking hand in the show’s history.

Hustler Casino is entertaining viewers worldwide with another session of the "Million Dollar Marathon," where six- and seven-figure pots swing back and forth. The lineup includes regulars like Nik Airball, Peter, Alan Keating, and Martin Kabrhel. This event led to the largest pot ever recorded at Hustler Casino.
The action began unassumingly—a $4,000 raise from UTG was called by four players, leading them to the flop in good spirits. The flop came TsJhJs, turning a seemingly ordinary multiway hand into a scene that high stakes fans will discuss for a long time. Keating flopped a full house with pocket TT, while Kabrhel and Steve held trips with J6 and J9. The perfect recipe for a massive pot was in play.

Steve started with a min-bet, Kabrhel just called, and Keating raised to $25,000. After a series of raise-call-shove sequences, Steve pushed his entire $784,500 stack into the middle, Kabrhel called off his remaining $421,000, and Keating snap-called. The pot skyrocketed to $2,082,000, and the trio agreed on two run-outs. Neither brought a miracle—Keating held the full house and scooped the entire mound of chips.
While the YouTube chat exploded, the usually vocal Martin Kabrhel remained unusually quiet. Before the stream, he quipped about liking when people "pay him with a smile"—yet he walked out $500,000 lighter, opting for another million-dollar buy-in to try and recover. Steve, after losing $1,000,000, vanished from the scene, while Keating sat on a profit of over $2,000,000, dictating the session's pace.
If you want to see how one of the largest cash game hands in televised poker history unfolded and whether Kabrhel manages to claw back some millions from Keating, be sure to catch the live stream of the Million Dollar Marathon, still running on the Hustler Casino Live channel.

Mastering the Art of Reading Opponents: Turning Insights into Cash
Some players focus solely on the cards, others watch the people. Karim Chelli, a specialist in live tells and mindset, reveals in this video why the real edge in poker lies with insights that solvers can’t provide. “Cards stay the same. Opponents change,” explains Karim as he analyzes every subtle reaction at the table. He discusses why eye contact often signals weakness, how a player’s behavior shifts with position, and how every movement of the chin or smile can reveal the strength of a hand.
In his demonstrations, Karim shows that even without seeing the flop, you can gather crucial information just by observing others. He reiterates his motto: “Information equals money” – the more you see, the more you earn. He also demonstrates how to avoid stress reactions that destroy focus during long sessions. “The best decisions in life are made in calm,” he reminds us. “Poker isn’t about emotions, but about balancing perception and thought.”
