Larry Flynt is not a man to take things lying down.
An energetic individual, in his time he has worn the American flag as a nappy, survived an assassination attempt by a white supremacist and ran for U.S. President as a Republican against Ronald Reagan.
When the bid failed, (in his official announcement, he wore a 'Spot the Difference' T-Shirt with depictions of Reagan and Hitler) the pornographer still had a longing to add other arrows to his quiver, so it wasn't too long before he opened the Hustler Casino.
Located in Gardena, Los Angeles, it has become his most profitable business, founded on his philosophy of 'giving back to our players'.
Keen to keep expanding, in 2007, Flynt opened the casino's Crystal Room to, amongst other things, offer 'the biggest seven-card stud game in the world' and host poker tournaments.
Since July 6th, it has been offering Larry Flynt's Grand Slam of Poker, a series of mid-price Hold 'em tournaments which culminates in a two-day, $1500 event on July 27.
Most of the events offer more starting chips than usual tournaments, a fact that helped seasoned veteran of deep-stack warfare, Houman-Manny Haddadnia (AKA The Warrior), wage a successful campaign on Sunday and snag $45,000.
