Thus, the result began to change at the beginning of the week, when Nik Airball achieved a positive session of US$ 150,000. With this, he surpassed Mariano by a narrow margin in the HighRollPoker.com leaderboard. Soon after, the lead increased even more.
Therefore, on Friday (17), Mariano Grandoli had a very negative session and lost US$ 305,000, even without Airball participating in the broadcast. As a result, Mariano dropped to approximately US$ 3 million in accumulated profit on the show, while Nik Airball reached about US$ 3.4 million.
Additionally, despite the new record, some fans questioned Airball’s leadership. This is because many believe that Garrett Adelstein would hold first place if he were still competing on the show. The American, however, has remained away from Hustler Casino Live since the episode known as J4, which took place in 2022.

Outstanding trajectory on the show
However, besides leading the ranking, Nik Airball also accumulates one of the best performances among the most frequent players on the show. Throughout his career on Hustler Casino Live, he has played more than 1,300 hours of cash game and maintains an average profit of approximately US$ 2,500 per hour.
However, Ethan “Rampage” Yau leads another important ranking. Among players with at least 300 hours on the show, he records the highest profit per hour, with about US$ 7,400. Still, Airball remains the biggest winner in absolute values in the history of the broadcast.
Finally, the ranking also highlights who lost the most money on Hustler Casino Live. Currently, Michael “Texas Mike” Moncek holds this position after accumulating a loss of US$ 4.38 million, a consequence of several negative sessions, including participations in the traditional Million Dollar Games.
