Phil Hellmuth has announced the lineup for his next Home Game broadcast on BetRivers, and it may be his most compelling yet. Posting the roster to X, the 17-time WSOP bracelet winner revealed a seven-player cast that includes Tom Dwan, Daniel 'Jungleman' Cates, an unnamed fourth player (@xxl23), Randall Emmett, Stanley Tang, and Antonio 'The Magician' Esfandiari - with one of those seven buying in for $1 million.
One player buying in $1M! Blinds small, but you never know what will happen!

Hellmuth’s Home Game Lineup, coming soon: 1.Phil Hellmuth 2.Tom Dwan 3.@junglemandan 4. @xxl23 5.Randall Emmett 6. @stanleytang 7. @MagicAntonio @BetRivers One player buying in $1M! Blinds small, but you never know what will happen! Watch us, here: https://t.co/AkrHhAQ89L
Hellmuth kept the seven-figure player's identity under wraps, writing only that 'one player is buying in $1M' while describing the blinds as small. The deliberate contrast between low stakes and a headline-grabbing buy-in is a format Hellmuth has leaned into across his home game series, where the cast drama and needle-heavy table talk have often overshadowed the chip counts.
The guest list carries real weight beyond the theatrics. Dwan, who famously ended Hellmuth's unbeaten streak on High Stakes Duel, brings a history of massive televised confrontations with the Poker Brat. Jungleman is one of the most active and respected high-stakes players in the world. Esfandiari, tagged as '@MagicAntonio,' adds another familiar Hellmuth sparring partner to the mix - Hellmuth specifically noted that needling Antonio and Phil Laak had given him 'even more joy' than folding A-K preflop in a recent session.
Hellmuth's Home Game series has aired multiple episodes, with lineups that have included Jungleman before. This edition appears to be building toward something bigger in terms of both cast and buy-in scale. Hellmuth has recently been connected to conversations around Hustler Casino Live's Million Dollar Game, where regulars like Nik Airball are expected to appear. Whether the $1M buyer in the Home Game is a preview of that world remains to be seen.
No air date has been given beyond 'coming soon.' The game airs on BetRivers, where Hellmuth serves as a brand ambassador.
