The 10 Biggest Winners at Hustlers Casino Live

If you tune into Hustlers Casino Live a couple of times a week, or even every day, you still might not know about the all-time winners.

Some players have done extremely well at HCL, but not everyone that looks like a crusher is really walking away with a fortune.

First, check out some interesting stats about these ten players.

  • Average Winnings: About $2,080,000
  • Average Hours on Hustler Casino Live: About 463 Hours
  • Average Hourly: $14,563
  • Average BB/Hour: 9.15 BB/Hour
  • Average VPIP: 50%
  • Average PFR: 24%

Now lets see the top 10 winners at Hustlers Casino Live as of mid-2026. We’ll be showing net winnings to give a realistic look at the rankings.

#1. Mariano Grandoli (King Argentina)

With a total of over $3,712,000 in net winnings after more than 1,140 hours, Mariano Grandoli is the top winner at Hustler Casino Live. He’s ahead by a very sizeable margin, but also has the second-highest number of hours on this list (only behind Nik Airball).

At 28% PFR, Mariano narrowly misses out on being first for preflop raising, losing only to (you guessed it) Alan Keating with 29%.

Mariano isn’t impressing any degenerate gamblers with his 41% VPIP either, which could be considered nitty among this top ten lineup.

His average hourly rate is $3,250, putting him in third-last, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. He’s still ahead of Nik Airball for that statistic, and it’s not a shabby number either. Even anesthesiologists can’t get close to that hourly rate, and they often need over 10 years of education.

On top of that, Mariano is one of CoinPoker's newest ambassadors, bumping that hourly rate up even more.

#2. Peter

Peter has over $2,633,000 in net winnings after around 400 hours, putting him in second place by over a million dollars.

Peter has a 27% PFR, almost matching Mariano's, but a much higher VPIP of 64%. This checks out. If you’ve seen him play, you’ll know Peter isn’t one to miss out on seeing a flop.

Whatever he’s doing, it’s paying handsomely. At $6,591 per hour on Hustlers Casino Live, Peter is racking in about as much as 146 dental hygienists every hour (give or take a few).

#3. Hasan Onay (Huss)

Hasan Onay was not the most popular guest to grace HCL’s stream, but his results are absolutely insane.

Over just 36 hours, Hasan made $2,325,100. Allow those numbers to sink in. That’s fewer hours than you probably worked this week, and he did it all sitting in a comfortable leather chair. In terms of HCL’s history, Hasan’s time there was no more than a blip. Quite a profitable blip, though.

While his 39% VPIP and 17% PFR make him the second-most conservative player and most conservative preflop raiser, we can’t throw dirt on these results.

Hasan’s average of $64,586 per hour is enough to make a Boeing CEO blush. If he’d been able to continue the same success over a few hundred more hours, perhaps he’d be rubbing shoulders with Elon Musk.

One of his most viral moments was a clash with Wesley, which you can see on YouTube.

#4. Henry Guttman (King Henry)

Henry Guttman is fourth on our list with $2,321,570 net winnings, just a few hands away from dethroning Hasan Onay.

Henry Guttman is the likeable and reserved kind of HCL regular, not known for getting too out of line. His stats paint the same picture, with a relatively reserved 40% VPIP and 21% PFR. Nothing about those numbers would impress the next two players on the list.

$2,856 per hour average is fantastic outside of the HCL records, but that puts him at the second-lowest position in our top ten, after around 800 hours played.

#5. Tom Dwan (durrrr)

Tom Dwan didn’t stick around long on the Hustler Casino livestream, but he left us with some great highlights on YouTube. He takes the fifth spot on our list with $2,240,675 earned.

Dwan is one of those players whom the fans can’t wait to watch. An old-school legend, battling on the most popular streamed cash game? We were lucky to get more than 150 hours of it.

We expected nothing less than Tom’s 60% VPIP, and his 25% PFR was also par for the course.

$14,693 per hour on average makes him the third-most profitable player based on time spent in the seat, surpassed only by Hasan’s legendary sunrun and another old-school personality, Jean-Robert Bellande.

#6. Alan Keating

Here’s a name you expected to see on the list. Alan Keating is universally known for being the ultimate poker entertainer, and playing a range that would cause any solver to crash, then instantly refund your subscription.

Mr. Keating made $2,205,350 net in a relatively short amount of time on HCL, which might surprise some of his followers. Alan shows up in so many YouTube highlights that you’d think he sleeps at the table.

Here’s the other part you expected: a 68% VPIP, and the highest preflop raise stat at 29% PFR

If a couple of his epic clashes with Peter had gone differently, their positions on this list might be swapped. Still, Keating made about twice as much per hour as Peter, at $13,166 on average.

Hopefully, he was also paid well for acting in Dead Money, a truly terrible film we had the pleasure of reviewing.

Dead Money (2024) promised poker played by a pro, but delivered a generic thriller with poker sprinkled lightly onto the plot. Read our honest review of Dead Money here, rated ⭐⭐1/2.

#7. Garrett Adelstein (GMan)

Garrett Adelstein is thought of as one of the most successful players on Hustler Casino Live, so his total net winnings of $1,548,900 might surprise some folks. Then again, he did collect $1,164,675 from Live at the Bike, HCL’s predecessor.

Another thing many Gman fans think is that he’s willing to get loose, but that mostly applies to his postflop play. At 34% VPIP, Garrett gets involved preflop more tightly than anyone on this list, by far. His 24% PFR is the average rate of the top ten.

If it wasn’t for the Jack-Four incident that caused him to step away and fall out with Hustler Casino management (including his friend at the time, Ryan Feldman), who knows where Garrett would rank today. His exit came before the button game was regularly played on stream, and there’s no doubt he would have adapted well to it.

His last session was September 29th, 2022. Since then, he’s played on other streams but never returned to the scene of the (alleged) crime.

#8. Jean-Robert Bellande (JRB)

JRB is another player who came for a short time but was handsomely rewarded for every minute. He saw net winnings of $1,418,000 after just 46 hours in the game.

This short stay put his hourly earnings far above everyone else except Hasan, with $30,826 average per hour.

His other tracked stats are nothing extraordinary, with 41% VPIP and 23% PFR.

JRB is another player on the list who's part of the CoinPoker team. In fact, so is the next player as well!

#9. Nikhil Arcot (Nik Airball)

Nik Airball might be one of the most controversial players in Hustler Casino’s top ten winners, but the poker gods have been smiling on him. Nikhil has snagged around $1,239,135 in net winnings at Hustler Casino, plus about $2.5 million across High Stakes Poker and The Lodge.

But amongst Hustler’s elite, his other stats look lackluster. He’s racked up the most hours at over 1,240, with the lowest hourly rate of just under $1,000.

Many of us would be very pleased with a thousand dollars an hour to sit in an air-conditioned room with complimentary coffee, but he’s far behind the others’ hourly earnings.

His 40% VPIP is quite low compared to the average of 50%, despite his self-made image of a loose and fun player. He also has the second-lowest preflop raise stat at 22% PFR.

#10. Jasper

On this list, there’s nothing really wrong with being in last place, especially for a new face. Jasper racked up over $1,192,455 in net winnings after a fairly low 327 hours.

He’s not afraid of getting involved either, with statistics that Keating would give a respectful nod to. 67% VPIP and 27% PFR almost makes us think he was trying to match Alan, but such a task is nearly impossible if you appreciate money.

His average hourly profit of $3,647 is even better than the list leader Mariano’s, but then again, eight of ten are (only Henry and Airball are below it).
