Airball shoots up the all-time rankings
As well as being the biggest pot ever in the $25/$50 Ante Game, it left Airball as the single biggest winner in the game, too. It also left him as the third-biggest winner in all televised poker games, behind Andrew Robl and Tom Dwan but now ahead of Garrett Adelstein and Leon Tsoukernik, according to Highroll Poker.
Talking afterward, Airball said, “It feels good to be in for $100K and win $300K. I wasn’t even supposed to play today, so I was lucky to get a seat. To win $300K is insane.”
Airball has the chance to make up some ground on Dwan in second place when he plays on Hustler Casino Live again tonight on High Stakes Friday.
