Let’s take a look at this huge $540k pot that occurred during Super high Stakes. It was live streamed on Hustler Casino’s YouTube channel on the 5th January 2024. The hand was played between Nik Airball & Peter With the blinds being $100/$200/$400.
The action began with Andy Stacks ($686,800) raising it up to $1,200 from UTG with . this was met by a call from Britney ($314,700) on the button who wanted to play a suited hand of her own in position . In the small blind was Airball ($293,500) who passively cold called with a premium . Last to act but by no means least was Peter ($459,000) who chucked in a 3-bet of $8,200 with . This was enough to get the table to fold other then Nik Airball. Who had now decided to get dicey with his Ace-King by Putting out a large 4-bet of $45,000. Peter put out a further $36,800 to see the flop. The pot stood at an incredible $92,800.
The flop came down
giving Airball top pair top kicker. First to act he led out with a bet of $60,000. Now usually this would be a relatively easy lay-down, but against Airball you just do not know. And that is most likely why Peter peeled a card here with his under-pair. After Peter’s call the pot now stood at a mouth watering $212,800.There was now a pair on the board when the
was revealed, a card neither player would have feared. “All in” was Airball’s next play as he shipped $188,600 into the middle. Again this is Airball, he is one of the few player’s that has bluff’s and stone cold bluff’s. At least that had to be Peter’s thinking as he made the highly optimistic call. You have to feel this is where Airball’s image won the day, as he scoops the $540k pot.
