Nate Silver, founder of the FiveThirtyEight political polling analysis blog, took nearly a $50,000 loss during Wednesday's poker stream at The Lodge Card Club in Round Rock, Texas.
The $50/$100 no-limit hold'em game, which took place in the Lodge Live's newly decorated set, featured a stacked lineup that included Jamie Kerstetter, poker vloggers Mariano and Brad Owen, and Silver. Later in the show, Doug Polk joined the game as the stakes increased and bought in for $200,000.
