It Took Matt Berkey Less than 60 Hours to Finish Off Nik Airball for $1 Million

In just under 60 hours of play over 10 sessions, Matt Berkey has finished off the trash talking Nikhil "Nik Airball" Arcot in a high-stakes heads-up poker match at Resorts World in Las Vegas.

The contest began last month and the two poker players were slated to play 100 hours, but there was a $1 million stop-loss in play. On Saturday afternoon, the seven-figure deficit was reached and the challenge abruptly came to an end at around the 59-hour mark. Nik Airball posted a brief congratulatory tweet along with the final results.
