Nik Airball recently graced the screens of 888ride, the popular series is showcased on 888poker’s YouTube channel. Renowned commentator David Tuchman joined Nik, to tackle hot topics such as tanking, stream games, and the infamous jack-four hand that took place at Hustler Casino Live, which involved Robbi Jade Lew & Garrett Adelstein.

The conversation kicks off with a glimpse into Airball’s poker origins, a tale steeped in familial tradition. Recounting his early exposure to the game, Airball reminisces about his father’s weekly poker gatherings, where the allure of the WSOP Main Event loomed large. Each year, His Dad’s buddies would play a $1,000 buy-in sit-and-go where the winner would play in the WSOP main event in Vegas.
Airball’s eyes sparkled with nostalgia as he recounted his father’s triumphant journey to the WSOP Main Event. Nik’s father returned with souvenirs signed by legends like Doyle Brunson and Chris Ferguson.
