Nika Futterman Takes One Down

Oct 16, '17

Actress, comedian, and singer Nika Futterman is one of the players who has taken a seat early on day 1C of the 2017 Card Player Poker Tour Bicycle Hotel & Casino $400,000 guaranteed main event.

Futterman is perhaps best known as the voice of Asajj Ventress from the animated series ‘Star Wars: Clone Wars.’ Futterman has also lent her voice to movies such as ‘The Boxtrolls’ and ‘Open Season.’ She also voices a character in the popular sci-fi video game ‘Destiny.’

Futterman is a very experienced poker player, with 92 live tournament cashes and over $220,000 in earnings.

She took down a small pot against Barry Woods early in level 2. With a flop of Q106 it checked to her and she bet 600. Barry Woods made the call and the turn brought the 8.

Woods checked to Futterman, who bet 2,000. Woods made the call and the 8 completed the board. Woods checked again and Futterman bet 3,000. Woods folded and Futterman raked the pot, putting her a few thousand above starting stack.

Oct 17, '17

With the deadline to re-enter rapidly approaching, Alex Massman moved all-in from the cutoff for his last 62,200, and Nika Futterman moved in behind him on the button.

The blinds folded and the two players revealed a race situation with Massman holding pocket sixes and Futterman holding AK.

Futterman was looking good to secure the pot as the board rolled out A109J, but the 6 on the river saw the pot go to Massman. Futterman was left crippled with just 6,000 or so.

Nika Futterman Befuddles Men Nguyen

Oct 17, '17

Nika Futterman, a comedian and voice actress, decided to open shove from the button for her last 70,500, or 35 big blinds.

The move absolutely confused Men Nguyen, who was sitting in the small blind with what looked like a big hand. As the dealer counted down Futterman’s stack, Nguyen continued to mull over his decision.

“Did you see what I had last time,” Futterman said to another player at the table. “I had pocket eights.”

After about 90 seconds, Nguyen announced a fold, but waited until the big blind mucked before releasing his cards. As Futterman dragged the blinds, he showed his AK.

Futterman couldn’t help but show her own hand, which was 88.

Futterman Doubles

Oct 14, '14

The board read 9K9J and Josh Hale checked. Nika Futterman bet 100,000 and another player moved all-in.

Hale folded and Futterman tanked. Futterman thought and audibly contemplated that her opponent might have queen-ten for a straight. Futterman thought some more and then eventually made the call.

Her opponent didn’t have queen-ten though and showed KJ for top-two pair. Futterman turned over A9 for trip nines and a 3 completed the board.

Futterman won the pot and doubled up to about 640,000.
