Nik Airball lost a US$10K bet for having disparaged Kristen Foxen

This weekend, Hustler Casino Live featured high-profile guests for its classic televised cash games. The professional couple Alex Foxen

United States
and Kristen Foxen
Canada
showed up at Ryan Feldman’s club
United States
to compete against other great players and regulars of the place. Nik Airball
United States
, an acclaimed Hustler regular, had said that tournament players were not good for cash games, but he had to eat his words.

It all started last week, when Hustler announced the presence of the famous couple and Nik Airball responded on social media: “Tournament players are terrible, free money.” The message obviously generated some controversy, although in person there was nothing but respect between the players.

Chance Kornuth

United States
, one of the best tournament players and a personal friend of the Foxens, decided to challenge Nik Airball by proposing a bet. “I bet you US$10K that Kristen Foxen wins more than you,” Kornuth wrote in response to Airball’s message.

Nik Airball took his time and, when it seemed he was no longer going to respond, he appeared to accept the offer and back up his words. That’s how this great challenge between two heavyweights began. And, eventually, the Canadian player ended up silencing Nik.

Initially, they crossed paths in a five-figure pot in which Nik ended up folding when Kristen announced an all-in for more than US$100K. Then, Nik lost a US$400,000 pot against Ethan “Rampage” Yau

United States
, which ended up sealing his fate. Kristen didn’t need to win much to end the day with better numbers than Nik, who lost quite a bit of money.

In this way, Chance Kornuth won the bet, Kristen Foxen left victorious, and Nik Airball not only lost money at the table but also had to swallow his words and, additionally, pay an extra US$10,000 for the lost bet. A truly forgettable night for the Las Vegas player.

“You won. Ryan Feldman will handle it. GG,” Nik wrote in a final message to Kornuth, accepting defeat.
