Following a bout with an undisclosed illness, Nikhil “Nik Airball” Arcot returned to Resorts World in Las Vegas Sunday to compete against his new bitter rival Matt Berkey in a high-stakes heads-up feud, and he booked a six-figure win.
Airball entered the contest earlier this month against the Solve for Why founder, whom he referred to as a “scammer.” While it’s still early and the sample size has only been 27 hours of play, far from enough hands to prove one player is superior to the other, it does appear that this match might turn out to be more competitive than anticipated.
