Is there a good time to smoke a joint? Any time is good according to Nik Airball. This highly controversial figure from the poker circuit, was grinding in Hustler Casino Live’s $100/$200 game (with straddles). What happened here? Well, the high stakes player who’s real name is Nikhil Arcot, played with J5s against Ethan ‘Rampage’ Yau’s Pocket Rockets.
We know what you are thinking! But this time around, pocket aces couldn’t work their charm and they drowned and took Rampage along. Yau was eliminated in this hand which ended in Airball pulling out a joint on live camera.
Yes you read that right. The commentators on the stream were also shocked as Airball pulled out a joint from his pockets, and was holding on to it for a bit, while he stood up after knocking out Rampage and also taunted him (Airball was so overjoyed he shook a leg on the felts).

Rampage got dealt pocket aces against Airball’s J5s. Preflop saw the WPT Global brand ambassador raise to $3K and Airball 3-bet to $7K. Rampage fired a 4-bet of $18K which saw Airball asking his rival, “How much do you have Rampage?” Quickly came Yau’s reply, “I bought in for a 100, I have a little more than that I guess.”
Airball makes the call and sees a flop of 5 ♣ 4 ❤ K ♠. Rampage bet $10K and his opponent called. The turn card is 5h ❤ and this is where Airball took the lead away from Yau as he hit three of a kind. Rampage throws a bet of $27K and Airball goes all-in. Rampage follows suit; goes all-in with $90,900 and he declares his hand with all confidence. Both players agreed to run it once and the river brought J ♠.
Airball won the hand with his full boat (JJ, 555) and Rampage was in for a rude shock. If one sees the video closely, Airball said fuck after Rampage mentioned he had aces.

The commentators on the stream said it aloud that Airball was slow-rolling Rampage. Slow-rolling left aside, what Airball did after Rampage was getting ready to leave will make your jaw drop. He pulled out a joint and was holding it in his hand while he did some victory dancing and taunting Rampage on his game.
What was left for Airball to do? Can’t think of anything after seeing the joint. The stream heard the commentators say, “Airball pulled out some weed on live camera, oh no.”
Good ole @nikairball got stuck over $100K early tonight but used the classic Martingale strategy to get close to even@rampagepoker‘s pocket aces were no match for this premium hand
