Wesley Fay's Heartbreaking All-In Loss In a high-stakes poker game at LA's Hustler Casino, Wesley Fay faced off against Tom Dwan and LSG Hank with a $1 million buy-in. The action escalated quickly as Fay raised to $30,000 before the flop and continued to push after Dwan’s aggressive plays. Ultimately, despite his bold moves including an all-in bet of $2.3 million on the river with ace-high cards, he lost when Dwan called with just a pair of queens.
Gold vs Antonius: A High-Stakes Showdown Jamie Gold clashed with Patrick Antonius in another dramatic hand where Gold held pocket kings while Antonius had ace-jack suited. After significant betting through various rounds leading up to over half a million dollars in pot size, they agreed to run the river three times for additional chances at winning big pots; ultimately resulting in both players walking away significantly richer from this intense showdown.
