Infamous high-stakes poker player Dan Bilzerian is in a new movie with Bruce Willis. The film, called Extraction, is a shoot-em-up style movie about an effort to save a CIA operative.
In addition to Willis, Gina Carano, Kellan Lutz and D.B. Sweeney also star in the movie, which hit theaters nationwide on Dec. 18. Reviews of the film have been lackluster.
The movie is Bilzerian’s first film appearance since 2014’s The Equalizer. The Instagram star has appeared in five movies now as an actor, according to IMBD.
Extraction currently has a 4/10 rating on the site and a stunning 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The R-rated thriller is just one hour and 23 minutes long.
One review on Rotten Tomatoes said: “Extraction is an exhaustively paint-by-numbers affair, and nobody is more bored with it than Willis.” Another review, from Liz Braun of the Toronto Sun said: “It’s a rare movie that can’t be saved by Bruce Willis single-handedly killing all the bad guys. And yet, here it is: Extraction.”
A critic from The Globe and Mail remarked: “Extraction? I’d rather have my teeth pulled by diseased, evil monkeys.”

Bang. Bang. Bang.
Just like that we've already lost half of the six final tablists in the first two hours here.
It was poker legend Erik Seidel who would hit the rail first this afternoon. Seidel shoved all in three hands in a row, and while the first two got through, the third saw him behind and at risk of elimination when Anton Astapau called from the big blind with a dominant hand.
Astapau: [ac][td]
Seidel: [ad][7s]
Seidel was dead by the turn on the [kc][8h][4d][th][tc] run out and would head to the cashier to collect HK$1,696,000 (~$219,000).
And following Seidel out the door was Belarusian Anton Astapau. His final hand saw Astapau open to 200,000 before Andy Andrejevic popped it up to 575,000. Astapau came back over the top for his whole 2,800,000 and Andrejevic didn't hesitate to call.
Astapau: [qs][qd]
Andrejevic: [ah][kd]
They were flipping for the huge pot and Astapau jumped into the lead spiking top set on the [qh][jd][8d] flop. Andrejevic needed a ten for Broadway and received immediate service on the [tc] turn. Astapau was desperate for the board to pair but it wasn't to be as the [5h] completed the board to see him eliminated in fifth place.
Joining Seidel and Astapau on the rail was reigning champion Steve O'Dwyer. He was so close to going back to back but unfortunately for O'Dwyer he comes up three short today. The American had gotten short and moved in for his last 1,975,000 over an open from chip leader Andy Andrejevic. The latter called it off and players tabled their cards.
O'Dwyer: [kc][qs]
Andrejevic: [ac][th]
It was an interesting [kd][qc][jc] flop with Andrejevic flopping the nuts and O'Dwyer chasing four outs to a full house. The [5c] turn and the [8h] river wouldn't cooperate and O'Dwyer headed to the exit in fourth.
So now only three remain in the hunt. It's Andrejevic with the substantial chip lead over Bryn Kenney and John Juanda. Here's how their stacks look.
ACOP Super High Roller Final Three Chip Counts
Andy Andrejevic - 13,000,000
Bryn Kenney - 6,385,000
John Juanda - 6,230,000
At the moment the players have just stepped away for a 10-minute respite. Play will recommence momentarily as we play down to an ACOP Super High Roller Champion!

Costa, who is from Portugal, dominated the tournament from the first to the last hand. He was the Day 1A chip leader, the Day 2 chip leader and only lost his lead for a few moments on the final table. And while you may not think that is unusual, consider that this was his first attempt at a live tournament!
After starting the heads-up behind Henrique Custódio, Costa managed to recover ground and win when, after three shoves, Custódio had [ah][7h] against Costa's [6d][6c]. The board held the young man's pocket pair and Custódio finished runner-up for €15,700.
