Dylan Smith

Action was heads up to the flop of KA5 with 200,000 in the pot.

Danny Tang checked from under the gun and Dylan Smith bet out from the big blind for 130,000. Tang called.

The action went check, check on the J turn, for the players to see the 9 peel off on the river.

Tang checked once more to Smith, who fired out a river bet of 200,000.

"I think we have the same hand," announced Tang before he tossed in the call but was shocked to see Smith table AA for a flopped set of bullets which had his AQ crushed and Smith was sent the pot.

Nik Airball Has Won $6 Million on Poker Livestreams Since December 2023

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

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.
