Nikhil Arcot aka Nik Airball made headlines just recently after he appeared in an interview with Nick Vertucci. He admitted to being on a downswing of $8 Million which quite frankly left many in shock.
Losing so much money and then once again showing to grind, that’s a lot of confidence in oneself and one’s poker skills. This time at Hustler Casino Live, Airball and Ryan Feldman locked horns in a hand that ended up making the former richer by $200K+ and Feldman ended up calling the river stupid.
Airball had AKs and his rival had pocket queens. With a 3-bet of $10,000 Airball was keeping the pressure on. Feldman called to see a flop of Q ❤ A ♣ K ♠. This gave Feldman a set and was ahead with Airball hitting two pairs.
Airball bet $4,000 and his rival again matched. The turn brought 6 ♦ which saw Feldman checking and Airball betting $16K. Thinking about his next move, Feldman took a few seconds and then made the call. The river card was indeed divine for Airball as it brought K ♣ and the controversial player hit a full house (KKK,AA) which triumphed over Feldman’s weaker full boat of QQQ,AA.

Poker gods can be cruel, we know, and Feldman’s face had disappointment written all over it. Airball bet $85,600 which put Feldman all in if he wanted to call. What an agonising spot Feldman was in, we can understand. He said just before calling, “What a stupid river.” Well stupid or not, Feldman had to do something. He called and was all-in.

Airball showed AK and oh boy, Feldman was bitter as hell. He goes on to say, “I slow-rolled.” What can we say about Feldman’s position which was strong till the turn and got screwed on the river.
Slow-rolling did not end well for Feldman and Airball, who torched some big bucks while playing at Hustler Casino Live, was happily collecting all the chips from the pot.
