Nik Airball Makes A Crucial Fold

At Hustler Casino Live, during a $100/$200 game, Nik Airball and Blank Check Ben gave us some intense heads-up action in this hand:

After an Under-The-Gun raise to $500 by Blank Check Ben with 3♠️3♥️ and $208,300 in his stack, the action folded to Nik Airball at The Button who raised to $1,500 with 7♣️5♥️ and $129,500 in his stack. The action folded back to Ben who called and they went heads-up to the river. 

The board flopped 4♥️3♣️A♥️, a set for Ben, and a double-gut shot straight draw for Nik. Ben just checked and Nik bet $2,000. Ben then re-raised to $8,000 which Nik called and they went to the turn with the pot at $19.5k.

The turn was a jaw-dropper. 3♦️ came and made quads for Ben, who decided just to check, and Nik, still looking for the 2 or the 6, did the same. 

Nik found what he was looking for when the 2♦️ came on the river, although he displayed some critical thinking after Ben bet $31,500. After a back-and-forward discussion between the two of them about how big they think their hands are, Nik eventually made a legendary fold.
