This week, Hustler Casino Live featured one of the largest and craziest Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) cash games ever seen in public, bringing attention to the game. Notable players like Tom Dwan and up-and-coming high roller Santhosh Suvarna were among the impressive field. But amid the fierce poker action, Nikhil Arcot, a.k.a. “Nik Airball,” found himself suffering a string of humiliating losses.
Unfortunate Run for Nik Airball
According to TrackingPoker.com, Nik Airball lost $44,594 over the course of 80 sessions on HCL, for a total loss of more than $470,000. These numbers do not include the $260,000 lost earlier this month on Bally’s Big Bet Poker or the $1 million lost in a heads-up match versus Matt Berkey.
Nik Airball’s fortunes changed drastically during the PLO game on Hustler Casino Live as he frequently went all in preflop and endured many losses, even while running it twice. Players could buy in for $50,000, and Nik Airball went through more than 10 buy-ins, losing more than $500,000 over the course of the seven-hour stream. Tom Dwan was able to collect $160,000 in prizes, but Anthony was the top winner, taking home well over $400,000.
Fans Can Expect More PLO Action
PLO is not frequently featured on live streaming, but the aggressive gameplay generated a lot of interest. Over 11,000 repeat viewers watched the Tuesday night game, and occasionally the audience surpassed 14,000 spectators. The game generated a lot of conversation on social media, demonstrating the excitement and passion of the poker community for PLO action.
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, Hustler Casino Live will continue to provide the game, giving poker players who want more high-stakes PLO action plenty of chances to get in on the action and maybe win big.
