Nik Airball to Make Return on Hustler Casino Live

Hustler Casino Live has announced that it will be making its international debut and inviting fan favourite Nik Airball to make his return to action on the show.

Ryan Feldman, the show’s co-founder, is bringing together a team of his own regs to square up against the regs from the Onyx Club at Merit Royal Hotel Casino & Spa, in Northern Cyprus.

The exclusive poker club founded by Rob Yong is invite-only and has a plush streaming room set-up which will be perfect for the Hustler crew.

From November 23 to December 1, a week of high stakes, intense cash game action will be streamed to viewers on the recently unsuspended YouTube channel.

Feldman said in a statement:

“It’s exciting to be moving the HCL stream to the Onyx Club at Merit Royal Cyprus. There is a big time difference between LA and Cyprus but we will make the delay on the stream friendly for our regular audience.”

Nik Airball to Make Comeback on Hustler Casino Live

There’s no doubt whatsoever that Nik Airball is one of the most talked about poker players in the world, right now.

His personality, for better or for worse, has made him a fan favourite on poker live streams, none more so than Hustler Casino Live.

So, when he vanished from our screens back in March, there were a lot of disappointed fans.

Unfortunately, we don’t know for sure when he will be coming back in the regular show based in Los Angeles but we did get some indication of why he has been missing.

Apparently, he was caught out breaking Hustler Casino rules on passing house chips without informing them.

Airball says he did abide by these rules but the numbers we’re talking about here were high and they didn’t like it.

“They told us if you loan chips you have to report who you loan to, which we did, we always reported it.

“But then they got upset because we did such a high amount. Nick and Ryan went to bat for us, we got unbanned, they said if you ever loan in the casino again you’re banned for life. It makes running the big games a little more challenging.”

Onyx Club director Neil Barrett was definitely pleased to hear of Airball’s return, saying:

“It is early days in the development of the Onyx Club and the partnership with Ryan and Hustler Casino Live is great news. We have already had feedback from our members who are keen to get involved. The return of Airball is sure to gain plenty of interest.”
