Nik Airball has become the most profitable player in the history of the poker show Hustler Casino Live, overtaking blogger Mariano Grandoli. According to HighRollPoker, after a winning session of $150,000 earlier this week, his total profit reached $3.4M.
Airball has played over 1,300 hours at the HCL tables — the second-highest total in the show's history. His hourly rate is around $2,500.
Part of the audience believes that the unofficial leader would still be Garrett Adelstein, who was excluded from HCL after the scandal with Robbi Jade Lew in 2022. Adelstein currently sits in ninth place with a profit of $1.55M.
Reaching the top of the HCL leaderboard offset Airball's losses from previous years, the largest of which remained a $1M loss heads-up to Matt Berkey in 2023.
