A $175K Poker Showdown Sparked by One Costly Misclick
A misclick during a High Stakes Friday game on Hustler Casino Live led to a dramatic $175,400 pot between Nik 'Airball' Arcot and Mariano Grandoli. The two players, often featured in PokerOrg's Hand of the Week, had never faced off in a major showdown before.
The hand began with Phong 'Turbo' Nguyen opening for $500 with A♠ 9♠. Grandoli intended to raise to $1,000 but accidentally clicked, sending the bet to $1,500 instead. Arcot then three-bet squeezed to $4,100 with J♦ 10♦, prompting Grandoli to four-bet to $15,000, isolating the action to just the two of them.
Arcot moved all-in for around $80,000, and Grandoli called with roughly the same amount. The board ran out unfavourably for Arcot, leaving Grandoli with the winning hand. After the showdown, Arcot congratulated his opponent, saying, *'You got it. Well done.'* The misclick had turned a routine raise into a high-stakes confrontation, resulting in one of the largest pots of the session.
The $175,400 pot went to Grandoli after the final cards were dealt. Both players remained composed throughout, with Arcot acknowledging the outcome gracefully. The hand highlighted how even small errors in high-stakes poker can lead to major swings.
