Hustler Casino Live made headlines earlier today, announcing the addition of businessman, playboy, and poker enthusiast Dan Bilzerian to the already-star-studded lineup for this coming Saturday.
Bilzerian fills out the final spot at a table comprised of two boxing champions, an NBA superstar, one of Brazil's greatest-ever soccer players, an eSports and streaming legend, and one of poker's most entertaining livestream regulars.
The first names in the lineup were announced during the Hustler Casino Live Million Dollar Game. Jimmy Butler, Neymar, Ninja, Ryan Garcia, and Alan Keating were the standouts from the initial announcement. Now, Bilzerian joins the party, along with Chris Eubank Jr., Jon Vlogs, and Velasco.
Bilzerian has held a controversial position in the poker community as some have questioned the veracity of his claims regarding winnings in private cash games. Along with those doubts, Bilzerian also faced criticism after striking a deal (and subsequently parting ways) with GGPoker to serve as part of its Ambassador Team. Poker pro and then-GGPoker affiliate Vanessa Kade spoke out heavily against the decision to bring Bilzerian aboard, citing past sexist comments and mistreatment of female players as part of her concerns over his hiring.
