The Matt Berkey vs Nik Airball drama is just getting more and more intense by the day. The two have been getting into Twitter wars, heads-up matches and more, each trying to prove that they’re better at the game.
In the latest update, Berkey posted an old video of Airball folding a hand. He took a nasty dig at Airball by calling him ‘The king of LA’ in his tweet.

The clip appears to be from Hustler Casino Live’s stream in association with World Poker Tour (WPT) Global. In the hand, Airball is seen 4-betting Wesley’s bet with Cowboys preflop. Wesley 5-bets with J9s in hand to be called by Airball. The flop fans out to Q ♠ 6 ❤ T ❤ .
Airball checks from the small blind, Wesley from the cut-off bet $25,000, followed by a call from Airball. The turn brings a Q ♣, and Airball immediately bet $5,000 without giving a second thought. Wesley raised $60,000 and Airball tanks for a while before asking the size of the pot. He tanks for some more seconds and finally decides to fold.
An excited Wesley jumps out of his chair and flips his cards joyfully. Airball is left shocked as he says, ‘Wow!’ Wesley scoops the massive $175,850 pot with his master bluff. We’re sure Airball must have regretted that fold given Wesley was playing with nothing but a queen pair on the board.
Several users made fun of Airball for his poor game play in that hand. Have a look at some of the replies:

Last month, the things between the two got so heated that they almost got into a physical fight while filming a live stream. Have a look:
