Kevin Hart

Estados Unidos
knows perfectly well how to steal the scene. He has done it in Hollywood with a career full of successes in comedy, film, and television, and he has also tried it in poker, where his charisma usually turns any table into a side show. But this time, on High Stakes Poker, the script did not have a happy ending: the actor ended up losing a whopping US$1.8 million in two devastating hands.

The night had started wonderfully for the American star. Hart managed to exceed one million dollars in chips during the first half of the session, moving with confidence, ease, and that energy of someone who seems ready to take not only the pot, but also the best cameras. However, the end of the broadcast was a real ambush.

The first blow came in a hand where Hart ended up convinced that Eric Wasserson

was bluffing. The problem was that he wasn’t, not even a little. After an explosive post-flop sequence, Hart pushed his chips to the center and received an instant call. When he saw the real strength of his opponent, he barely managed to summarize the disaster with a painful phrase: “I thought it was a bluff.” Not even running the board twice could rescue him, and more than US$300,000 changed hands.

Like a good action protagonist, Hart reloaded and rebought. But fate already had the sequel prepared.

Shortly before the end, he crossed paths with Wasserson again in another giant pot. This time, Hart hit two pair and decided to accelerate, not knowing that a monstrous trap awaited him on the other side: flopped quads. The hand ended with another all-in and another lightning-fast snap-call. The result was a US$838,000 pot that finished turning the actor’s night into a premium nightmare.
