Matt Berkey has won the heads-up grudge match against Nik Airball and made a staggering $1,029,700 profit. The battle ended this weekend with Airball reluctantly posting the judgement on Twitter, promising to make a more detailed post in a few days once he’s had some time to digest the heavy loss.

Immediately, social media posters began mocking the Hustler Casino Live regular for quitting when he had the chance to carry on fighting.
Nik Airball has been one of the most outspoken characters we’ve ever seen in the game over the last couple of months but now he is no doubt furiously working out how to save his reputation.

Within minutes, Matt Berkey was pondering how to rub salt in the wounds of his amateur challenger and decided upon retweeting the photo of a fish that Nik Airball so gallantly called “Berkey.”
We’re sure that he’s probably regretting that right now.
Garrett Adelstein Accepts Nik Airball’s Challenge for a $500/$1,000 Heads-Up Match
I would like to officially accept @nikairball challenge to play me $500/$1000+ heads up now that things have settled down a bit at home with my newborn. As he loves to say, enough talking, let’s just settle this on the felt. I will have every cent of my own action as requested.

Garrett Adelstein has formally—and very publicly—accepted Nik Airball’s offer of a $500/$1,000 heads-up grudge match.
The cash game legend posted his acceptance tweet more than one hour before Nik Airball had even posted his resignation tweet.
One cheeky follower asked just how long that tweet had been sitting in GMan’s drafts folder.
Many.

Guilty as charged.

Considering that Nik Airball lost over $1 million in only four weekends of poker it must be likely that he is sat at home licking his wounds pondering if he should accept a second humiliation.
With no disrespect to Matt Berkey, Garrett Adelstein in levels above him and would destroy Nik Airball in a manner that would be considered beyond cruelty.
That being said, we’d all love to see this one played out on a live stream for all the fans to see.
