Seiver again drew one, while Elezra stood pat. Seiver then potted to 21,900, and Elezra tanked for a minute before calling.

"Two-to-one favorite. Deuce-four-five-seven with a two across," Seiver told Elezra as he offered to show his hand, but Elezra declined.

"Two-to-one favorite is enough," Elezra replied.

Pot-Limit & No-Limit: 1,200/1,800 Ante, 600-1,200 Blinds

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.
