Dan Bilzerian Returns to High-Stakes Poker in Legends of the Felt Event
Dan Bilzerian, known for his controversial behavior and extravagant claims of poker winnings, is back in the spotlight. This Saturday, he'll be part of Legends of the Felt, a high-stakes poker event livestreamed worldwide. Bilzerian's past claims of winning millions in private games have been supported by poker legends Jason Koon, Daniel Negreanu, and Chance Kornuth.
The event, announced by Hustler Casino Live (@HCLPokerShow) on June 18, 2024, will feature a $50k buy-in per player. Bilzerian will be joined by an impressive lineup including soccer star Neymar Jr., boxers Ryan Garcia and Chris Eubanks Jr., NBA player Jimmy Butler, and streamer Ninja. The game will be livestreamed at https://t.co/ktS6SUWOUq.
Bilzerian's past poker exploits include a $10 million heads-up win in 2013, with Chance Kornuth acting as his coach. However, it's worth noting that both Daniel Negreanu and Antonio Esfandiari have surpassed Bilzerian's claimed winnings in the past. Bilzerian was previously fired from his ambassador role with GGPoker on International Women's Day in 2022.
This Saturday's Legends of the Felt event promises to be an exciting spectacle, with Bilzerian and other stars battling it out in a $50/$100 game. Despite his controversial past, Bilzerian continues to draw attention and participation in high-stakes poker events.
