The games on Hustler Casino Live have garnered a reputation for wild action with eye-watering sums traded back and forth – and the latest High Stakes Friday game provided exactly that. While there's not much to dissect in terms of strategy analysis, the pot between Phong 'Turbo' Nguyen and Sam 'VC Sam' Rosen, takes the PokerOrg Hand of the Week crown for its sheer insanity.
Here’s how the chaos unfolded… With blinds at $100/$200 and a double straddle in play, Nguyen opted to four-bet shove with 
and VC Sam had the goods – check out the clip below to see the carnage.
Four-bet shove goes wrong, then right
It was a well-constructed trap from Rosen that led to the $301,700 clash as he limped in for $800 as the first player to act. With gamblers aplenty at the table, several other players limped in as well and Rosen was counting on one of them to squeeze the others out. Nguyen obliged as he looked down at in the double straddle and raised to $8,000 in an attempt to steal the dead money in the middle.
After double-checking his holding, Rosen three-bet to $25,000 and the callers behind him fled the scene. With the action back on him, Nguyen quickly verbalized his all-in.
"Oops," said Nguyen as Rosen snap-called for his $149,500 stack.
With $301,700 in the pot, Nguyen wanted to run it once and Rosen agreed.
"I can still get lucky, right?" Nguyen asked his opponent rhetorically.
The 
flop provided Nguyen with a pair to work with, but he was still in rough shape against Rosen's over-pair. As neither player held a diamond, the 
turn didn't change much, but it did provide the possibility of a flush on the board to chop the pot.
Phong 'Turbo' Nguyen notched a career-best tournament score over the summer and followed it up by winning an insane $301,700 pot on Hustler Casino Live. 
River from hell for Rosen
"Can I squeeze it?" Nguyen asked as he awaited the river card.
His request was quickly shot down.
"Diamond for a chop, baby," Nguyen continued. "Everybody loves a chopped pot."
With the tension mounting, the dealer rolled over the 
river and Nguyen was out of his chair in a millisecond to celebrate the suck-out.
"F**k around, find out. Turbo run good, baby, what can I do?" he said as he high-fived, fist-bumped, and shook hands with half of the table.
Rosen, much to his credit, took the horrific beat with grace and simply pulled out a few more stacks of cash to play with.
