Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt frequently takes the brass ring. This<br>time it was 1.1 million of them, when he took the largest single win ever<br>recorded at a single session of a poker game, in what is known to be the<br>longest running and highest stakes poker game in the country. In spite of<br>owning the casino that bears his name, there was no favoritism played out at<br>the Hustler Casino. Flynt had to earn his winnings like everyone else.<br>Apparently last Thursday was his night. In a $4,000/$8,000 per hand<br>Seven-Card Stud game that requires players bring $200,000 just to sit in the<br>game, Larry Flynt was the sole winner at the table of 8 players taking an<br>immense US$1.1 million US (about 0.56 million pounds or 0.833 million<br>Euros). Flynt&#39;s win came against some of the top players in the world,<br>including: Phil Ivey, Chip Reese, Ted Forrest, Steven Wolf and David<br>Oppenheim (click on any of the above links to view player profiles). This<br>momentous win occurs just as the casino celebrates the opening of the<br>luxurious new Crystal Room, an elegantly appointed card room with lush<br>carpet, crystal chandeliers and Monte Carlo style decor. This takes LA<br>gaming to a brand new level, with the largest seeded poker jackpots in the<br>state, daily blackjack cash and gift giveaways and progressive jackpots for<br>most every game in the house. Hustler Casino even has the hottest new game<br>in town: Three Card Poker: &quot;The fastest and easiest poker to learn in the<br>west.&quot;
