My four kings on the turn were beaten by a straight flush on the river. Welcome to LA, my name is Johnny Navaro. I am a semi professional poker player, professional poker dealer. There they call me Johnny Shuffles.
I am about to take you to some of the great poker spots in LA, a lot of people do not know that Los Angeles is the poker capital of the world, not Vegas, LA baby. Would you want to play poker LA is the place, let me show you what I am talking about.
This is the poker capital of the world ladies and gentlemen, there are more poker tables inside that building than there are in any where else in the world. Just off the five free way, Washington exit on telegraph road, telegraph is a north south road, Washington run East and west intersecting the five free way which also runs north and south. They have poker, black jack, pan nine, super nine, pai gao, you can sit on a poker table as you are playing.
The popularity of poker is unpresident and I have never seen anything like it in my life. we are at the Bicycle Casino, the bike club. The bike, about five minutes away from Commerce Casino and Bill Gardens. This is off the seven ten free way. Another major north south freeway at the eastern avenue exit, the Bicycle club has world poker tour events every year.

Poker is player against player, the bank is the money that you bring to the table, the money that you put on the table. That is the big difference. We are here at Gardena at my favorite casino in LA the Hustler Casino. This is Larry Flip, publishing this Casino, FLP productions. Larry Flip bought this old casino, which is called the Eldorado Club, one of the older casinos in town.
Six years ago and renovate it for $58,000,000.00 and created the Hustler Casino. Larry Flint plays at the Hustler, he is generally there at least once a week. One of his hands is a little screwed up so he built a little wooden bar. He has to pick up his whole cards very high in order see them. It makes his opponents cannot read his cards as he lifts his whole cards up.
There are no dancers of strippers here, it is just poker, and this is off the one ten freeway at Rodano Beach Boulevard in the city of Gardena. There is a lot to do when it comes to gambling in LA. A lot more than people realize that, they call me Johnny Shuffles. There is no need to go to Vega’s; if you come and stay in LA, you can play right here. You can have as much fun; you can win as much money. $5,000 was won by yours truly and one hand of poker right here in LA. If you see, the flop and you do not have any of it, chuck your cards in the mug right now.
