Arden Cho had a cash game session made for nightmares on Hustler Casino Live where she was stacked several times — in a row — and ended the night down nearly six figures.
The Teen Wolf star was having a good night in the Friday game and up $32,600 before things took a quick and disastrous turn about four hours into the stream. In a span of five hands, Cho was felted four times and ended the stream down $96,575, the biggest loser of the night.

Stacked Four Times in Five Hands
Hand #1: With blinds of $50/$100 with a $100 ante and the stand-up game running, Cho opened to $2,600 with 8♥6♥ and called a three-bet from Mariano to $8,000 with J♣10♥. Cho checked on the flop of J♦7♠2♥ and Mariano bet $5,400 with his top pair. Cho check-raised to $14,300 with just a few backdoor draws and Mariano called with his top pair.
Cho then moved all in for $37,500 on the 10♠ turn and Mariano quickly called after hitting top two pair. Cho couldn’t improve on two runouts and Mariano scooped the $121,050 pot.
Hand #2: The next hand, Cho three-bet to $2,100 in the big blind with Q♠10♠ and was called by Mike X in the small blind with K♦J♠. Mike X check-called a bet of $2,000 on the flop of 5♣A♦J♦ and the 7♣ turn checked through.
Mike X bet $5,500 on J♣ river after hitting trips and snap-called as Cho moved all in for $15,800.
“Oops, you win,” Cho said as she showed queen-high. “Damn this stand-up game!”
Hand #3: Putting another $20,000 on the table, Cho wasted no time three-betting to $2,500 with 5♣4♣ and received a round of calls from four players.
Cho took some time thinking with top pair on the flop of 5♥3♥3♠ before moving all in for $17,500. Unfortunately, her hand was crushed by the trips of Tan with A♦3♦. Once again, Cho failed to improve on two runouts and lost another $20,000.
Hand #4: As she put $10,000 on the table, Cho adjusted herself and took off her jacket, but she couldn’t shake the downswing. The next hand, she folded 7♦5♣ on a flop of 6♠J♠3♠ before a 4♥ turn that would have given her the nuts.
“The one hand she folds she would’ve won!” proclaimed commentator Christian Soto.
Hand #5: The brutality wasn’t over. The next hand, Cho was once again all in as she called off a four-bet from Steve holding A♠9♠ to lose out to her opponent’s 10♥10♣. For the fourth time in five hands, Cho had been stacked.
“Alright, well, that was less fun than I thought it would be.”
On a positive note, the stream ended with Cho stacking Dylan in a $29,300 pot after he bluff check-raised into Cho’s aces up.
“Sorry we both our got our “f***ing asses kicked,” Cho said. “It was rough. I feel your pain.”
Cho Staying Positive
While Friday night wasn’t her finest showing, Cho has had her share of poker success. In January, she finished runner-up in the PokerGo Tour (PGT) Championship in Las Vegas for $200,000.
The stream happened to coincide with the premiere of Episode 1 of The Big Game on Tour, which featured Cho losing $50,000.
