Many poker fans have been critical of Nikhil "Nik Airball" Arcot's game the past few years.
Some think he's a fish, especially after he lost $1 million in little time in a heads-up contest against Matt Berkey at Resorts World in Las Vegas three years ago. But since that one-sided match, Airball has been crushing it, at least on livestreams.
The self-proclaimed "King of LA," according to the HighRollPoker.com database, was down nearly $878,000 on poker livestreams in December 2023. He hasn't since just erased those losses. Airball, after a strong outing this weekend on Hustler Casino Live's High Stakes Live streams at the World Series of Poker (WSOP), is closing in on being the most profitable livestream ring game player ever.
Biao Ding opened to 650,000 from the cutoff with J♦J♣.
Ignacio Moron on the button three-bet to 1,300,000 with K♣J♠ but Ding four-bet all in for 4,475,000. Moron checked his cards and quickly folded.
Galen Hall raised to 600,000 from under the gun holding 7♥7♣, with Biao Ding calling on the button with 8♦8♣, while Kristen Foxen defended her big blind holding K♥5♥.
When Foxen checked on the 5♠J♥3♥ flop, Hall decided to fire a continuation-bet of 750,000, which Ding called. Foxen then check-raised to 1,800,000, resulting in folds from both of her opponents.
Zdenek Zizka raised to 600,000 from under the gun and Galen Hall defended from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 4♠10♠Q♠ and it took a long moment for Hall to directly go all-in. Zizka counted his stack and went deep into the tank. He eventually called off his last 3,025,000.
Zdenek Zizka: A♥10♥
Galen Hall: A♠2♣
Zizka had a pair but Hall had a nut flush draw. The 6♠ turn immediately completed Hall's flush, so the K♣ river couldn't help Zizka and he was eliminated.
Ignacio Moron called from the small blind and Kristen Foxen checked her option in the big blind.
Both players checked the 8♦A♣10♠ flop and the Q♠ hit the turn. Moron bet 600,000 and Foxen stuck around with a call.
A K♦ dropped on the river and Moron bet 2,300,000. Foxen raised to 5,500,000, and Moron jammed for a little more. Foxen quickly called and turned over J♥9♦ for a straight.
Moron revealed J♣6♦ for the same hand, and the two players chopped the pot.
Heads-up on a flop of Q♥A♦J♥, Joey Weissman in the small blind checked with A♣8♣ and Biao Ding in the big blind checked back with Q♦10♠.
Weissman with top pair checked again on the K♣ turn, and Ding now with a straight checked back once more.
The 10♥ river completed a straight on the board but brought a third heart. They both checked again and split the pot.
On the first shuffle of the day, Galen Hall jammed from the small blind with A♦4♣, and Zdenek Zizka found a fold in the big blind with A♠5♣.
Then, holding K♠6♠, Ignacio Moron opened to 600,000 from the hijack and only Hall came along from the button with 6♦6♣.
The dealer spread the 3♦J♦8♣ flop, prompting Moron to check-fold when Hall fired 500,000.
The cards are in the air and play has started on the final day of Event #19: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em.
