He turned the tide in a single hand, only to lose it all back (and even more).<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Scott Palmer Fuhrman, who ran for Congress twice (in 2016 and 2018) as a Democrat, made his debut on this popular live show, competing against Alan Keating, Nik Airball, Peter Wang, Brandon Steven, and other high-stakes players.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Fuhrman, who used the pseudonym Palmer during the live stream, performed poorly for most of the match and appeared frustrated. About seven hours into the game, he went all-in with top pair against Peter&#039;s nut straight, having already lost $578,000. But minutes later, the former political candidate and business owner&#039;s fortunes began to turn.<\/span><\/p><h4 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong><span class=\"\">Poker Roller Coaster Night for Politicians<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Palmer lost many big pots, although he won an early $500,000 pot with top pair when his opponent &quot;Ace&quot; folded a smaller pair to a $300,000 bet on the turn. But he lost far more big pots than he won, including a hand where he held 7\u26607\u2666 on a flop of 2\u26605\u26634\u2660.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">&quot;Big Mike,&quot; holding 3\u26653\u2663, checked and raised to $150,000 against a $35,000 bet, successfully executing a semi-bluff. Later in the game, Palmer, who had previously lost a large sum of money, received K\u2666K\u2663 and called Steven&#039;s all-in bet of $435,000 with A\u2666K\u2665. Both players agreed to be dealt twice, and Palmer won both times, his expression immediately changing.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Half an hour later, the congressional candidate defeated Keating&#039;s middle pair with two pairs, winning a $200,000 pot. This brought Palmer back to nearly even in less than an hour after losing nearly $600,000.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Palmer then faced off against the show&#039;s main attraction, Keating, in a big pot. Most Hustler Casino Live viewers expected the highlight of the live stream to be the competition between Keating and Peter. However, a former political candidate stole the show and had the opportunity to snatch chips from Keating.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">At the start of this crucial hand, Palmer limped to $2,000 from the button with A\u2665J\u2665. Keating raised to $22,000 from the draw with J\u26633\u2666. After one call, the flop came 3\u2663A\u26603\u2665, a nemesis hand.<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15089\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-dc2de6f8f0454e48ae0895383ea4705c.r2.dev\/hunter.poker\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1501-300x169.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-dc2de6f8f0454e48ae0895383ea4705c.r2.dev\/hunter.poker\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1501-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/pub-dc2de6f8f0454e48ae0895383ea4705c.r2.dev\/hunter.poker\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1501-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/pub-dc2de6f8f0454e48ae0895383ea4705c.r2.dev\/hunter.poker\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1501-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/pub-dc2de6f8f0454e48ae0895383ea4705c.r2.dev\/hunter.poker\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1501-18x10.webp 18w, https:\/\/pub-dc2de6f8f0454e48ae0895383ea4705c.r2.dev\/hunter.poker\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1501.webp 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><br \/><\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Keating bet $35,000 with three of a kind, and was then raised to $115,000, which he called. The turn card, a 3\u2660, gave Keating four of a kind, so he checked. Palmer, holding a full house, also checked and saw the river card, a Q\u2665.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">This time, Keating didn&#039;t play slowly.

However, he lost to incumbent Republican Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who easily defeated the poker player by nearly 10 percentage points. Palmer then attempted to run for the same political position again in 2018 but withdrew from the race in June 2017.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Hustler Casino Live will host the second day of its &quot;Mega Cash Mania&quot; event at the Hustler Casino in Los Angeles this Friday at 2 p.m. Pacific Time.<\/span><\/p><h3>Want to change Texas Holdem from \"can understand\" to \"can win\"?<\/h3><p><span style=\"color: #333300;\">If you want to learn more about Texas Hold'em, you can continue reading\uff1a<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hunter.poker\/en\/texas-holdem-history\/\">The Origins of Texas Hold'em: Why is it the World's Most Popular Poker Variant?<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hunter.poker\/en\/texas-holdem-hand-rankings\/\">Texas Hold'em Hand Rankings and Showdown Rules (Beginner\u2019s Essentials)<\/a><br data-start=\"2628\" data-end=\"2631\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hunter.poker\/en\/texas-holdem-betting-actions\/\">Texas Hold'em Betting teaching: Check \/ Bet \/ Call \/Raise and Betting Strategy Analysis<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hunter.poker\/en\/texas-holdem-position-strategy\/\">The importance of Texas Hold'em position?
