Risky Play By Nik Airball: Will he be paid Off On The River?

Risky Play By Nik Airball or Creative?

Following a streak of PLO games, Nik Airball was playing like a madman in this $25/$50/$100 + $100 BB Ante game on Hustler Casino Live.

The action folded to Tyrone on the Button who looked down at 3♥️3♦️ with $51,925 in his stack. He decided to raise to $400. Two more folds from the big and small Blinds and the action arrived at Nik Airball. He was sitting with J♦️8♣️ and $50,700 in his stack. Nik called and they went heads-up to the flop.

After a flop of 2♣️4♥️9♣️, Nik checked to Tyrone who put in a $600 bet. Nik answered with a check-raise to $2,100 which Tyrone called and they took a turn with $5,175 in the middle.

The turn was the 10♠️, opening up a open ender straight draw for Nik who then threw in a bet of $5,000. Tyrone called and they went to the river with the pot at $15,175.

The 7♣️ on the river completed the runner-runner Jack-High straight for Airball and he dangerously threw in a 1.6x pot bet. It was dangerous because that last club opened up the front-door flush draw. Lucky for him though Tyrone had the small pocket pair and wisely laid down his cards. DGAF mentioned that he could be rusty from playing too much PLO as it was a strange way for Nik to have played his cards.
