Huge Fold from "Nik Airball"
Action was picked up on the turn with players four-handed and the board reading 10?9?5?J?.
Nikhil Arcot, better known on Hustler Casino Live as "Nik Airball", checked from the small blind. Nuno Duarte bet 6,000 from the big blind, getting a call from a player in early position while folding out a player in middle position. Airball raised to 17,000 and Duarte responded by moving all in, covering Airball's remaining stack of a bit over 100,000 and sending him deep into the tank.
"Sorry guys, I have a big hand" Airball told his tablemates after about three minutes. Eventually, Airball folded J?J? face up for top set, sending a sizable pot Duarte's way. Airball could later be heard telling his opponents that he never would have folded in that spot had he been playing a cash game.
