While Hustler Casino should have been celebrating the one-year anniversary of its game-changing poker stream Hustler Casino Live, the famous Los Angeles casino was busy announcing the abrupt cancelation of its $250,000 guaranteed poker tournament "due to unexpected circumstances."
The event in question is part of Larry Flynt’s Grand Slam of Poker Memorial Tournament, a series of poker tournaments running July 17-Aug. 7 with over $400,000 in guarantees.
More than half of that guaranteed money was allocated for the finale, a $350 buy-in event with a dozen starting flights, a cool quarter-million guaranteed prize pool and $50,000 guaranteed for first place.
