Poker Reg Nik Airball Loses Massive $477K in Flush vs. Flush Hand

​

Nikhil "Nik Airball" Arcot lost nearly half a million dollars in a hand that was played on Hustler Casino Live broadcast. It was a high stakes game with blinds of a whopping $100/$200/$400. The format was no-limit, and Airball's opponent in the hand, Wesley, had a crazy stack of $2,200,000.

The action began with Nik opening a hand on the button with 4♦3♦ . He bet $1,000. Wesley called from the big blind with a hand of A♦2♦. The flop came K♦J♦10♦ which immediately gave both players a flush, but Wesley had the nuts. Wesley checked and Airball continued for $1,000. Wesley check-raised to $7,000 and got a quick call.

The 8♣ came on the turn and Wesley bet big to $30,000 (roughly x2 the pot). Nik was very quick to make a call there.

A full blank fell on the river – 3♣. Wesley took some time before announcing another bet of $200,000. Airball snap-called again only to see his opponent's higher flush and lose the $477,000 pot.
