Nik Airball 
The hand took place in the context of a $25/$50 NLH game. The player Britney opened for US$2,000 with 8 5, Big Mike called with A 9 and C YE made a 3-bet for a total of US$8,000 with K J. Nick Airball called with 4 4, as did Britney and Big Mike.

The flop showed A 9 K and all players checked until the action returned to C YE, who decided to continue for another US$7,000. Nik Airball called and Big Mike decided to announce all-in for US$39,950 with his two pair. C YE tanked for several minutes before deciding to fold. Airball, on the other hand, with the weakest hand at the table, decided to call (it is worth noting that he had almost US$200,000 behind).
The turn showed the Q and the 2 on the river ended up giving a flush to the player with a pair of 4s. In this way, Nik Airball took the pot of US$119,025, to the disbelief of everyone present.
