The action begins with Airball raising it up to $1,000 from the High-Jack with A8 and a stack of $91,800 behind. This got folds from the rest of the table, until Mariano who was sat in the Cut-Off with Pocket Queen’s (QQ). Mariano threw in a 3-bet to $3,000. The action was now on Airball who wasted little time 4-betting it to $13,000. Perhaps sensing some weakness, or believing his Pocket Queen’s were good, Mariano further inflated the pot by 5-betting it to $28,000. The Pot now stood at $41,475, Mariano had $102,625 left in his stack. Most player’s would most likely throw in the towel sensing weakness, not Airball! he did the unthinkable and Jammed all in.

Will Nik Airball’s All-In Gamble be rewarded?

Surprisingly Airball asked to just run it once, before even seeing his opponent’s cards. Mariano responded “I prefer to run it twice” to which Airball agreed upon.

The first board run out produced 49A36 Which guaranteed Nik half of the pot. Surely Airball could not scoop the entire lot? The second board ran out 8K2A3

After the hand, Mariano appeared visibly shaken, Airball, aware of his stroke of luck, offered an apology. Undoubtedly, this provided no consolation to Mariano, who lost both board runs and had no share in the $183,475 pot.. Airball’s gamble on this occasion paid off.
