“What just happened?” said Charlie Wilmoth on Hustler Casino Live commentary after a wild call from Nik Airball saw him scoop an unlikely pot.
Wilmoth had started the stream saying that Airball was "anxious" to get the game started, and he jammed his entire $27K stack on the first hand with and lost.
That set the tone for the night – but sometimes, a terrible move can work out, as Airball proved later on the stream. Watch it unfold above.
Airball: ‘I’m the worst player of all time’
Airball had a stack of $236,250 when he called $50 UTG with .
Facing a raise from Britney and a three-bet from C Ye, Airball called $8,000, with Big Mike also calling, and four players went to the flop.
- Airball (UTG):
- Britney (+2):
- Big Mike (LJ):
- Ye (CO):
On the flop, Ye bet $7,000, Britney folded, and Airball called.
Big Mike moved all-in for $39,950 with his two pair, and Ye folded pretty quickly – but Airball wasn’t done, going into the tank before making the call.
Turn and river? Running diamonds – giving Airball a runner-runner flush and the $119,025 pot.
"What just happened?" Wilmoth said as Airball started laughing. "I'm so bad," he admitted eventually, explaining he didn’t expect Big Mike to shove a strong hand. "I'm the worst player of all time. That's the dumbest hand of all time. Wow."
"That's poker," said Francisco.
"No, that's not poker," said Airball. "That's stupidity."
The night didn’t end well for Airball. He lost $255,450 with a VPIP of 84% – thanks to hands like the one below.
