Bitter Cackling Rivals Matt Berkey, Nik Airball, Doug Polk Clash on Live High Stakes Poker

Matt Berkey, Doug Polk, and Nikhil "Nik Airball" Arcot put their differences aside to compete against each other in the first ever live-streamed High Stakes Poker Thursday evening.

PokerGO aired seven hours of a $200/$400 no-limit hold'em game — straddles on regularly — and thousands were tuned in hoping to see some fireworks between some bitter rivals. It didn't take long before the fans got what they came to see. But there was also some criticism on social media over the banter at the table and the constant cackling between the players.
