Airball Bombs the River

Dan O'Hair

Level 4 : Blinds 600/1,200, 0 ante

On a flop of 4♣2♦A♦, Joao Vieira checked to Nik Airball, who bet 1,200. Vieira then check-raised to 4,800 and Airball called.

Vieira continued for 11,000 on the 7♣ turn and Airball called.

The J♣ completed the board and Vieira opted to check, prompting Airball to overbet the pot for 74,000.

Vieira went deep into the tank and spent three time extensions before deciding to lay his hand down — conceding the pot to Airball.

Level 5 : Blinds 800/1,600, 0 ante

Eshaan Bhalla, also known as "Brown Balla" raised on the button to 2,800, and the big blind Blake Bohn made the call.

The flop came Q♣9♠6♣ , Bohn checked, Bhalla bet 4,000, and Bohn made the call to see the turn.

The turn brought the 4♣ , Bohn then again checked to Bhalla, who made it 8,000. Bohn then decided to raise it up to 30,000, and Bhalla made the call after using the majority of the shot clock,

The river K♦ completed the board, and Bohn fired out 55,000. Bhalla uses a time bank, and Bohn says, "I thought we made a pact that we wouldn't use time banks". But after taking his extended time Bhalla did make the call, Bohn says, "You're good" and Bhalla showed K♠10♠ for a rivered pair of kings. Bohn mucked his hand, as Bhalla took in the 183,600 chip pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Eshaan Bhalla	271,500 121,500	121,500
Blake Bohn	28,500 121,500	121,500
