In the latest edition of Hustler Casino Live’s High Stakes Friday cash game, all attention was on Kristen Foxen during her second appearance on the show. Prior to the game starting, HCL regular and self-styled King of LA, Nik ‘Airball’ Arcot, took to social media to provoke Foxen, expressing his view that ‘tourney players all suck’ and suggesting that Foxen’s inclusion in the game was ‘free money.’
Although Foxen chose not to respond to the trash talk, letting her gameplay speak for itself, Chance Kornuth came to her defense, proposing a $10,000 wager that Foxen would outperform Arcot. After some deliberation, Arcot accepted, and the stakes were set. Ultimately, Foxen ended the session with a profit of $17,100, while Arcot found himself at a significant loss of $399,900.
Furthermore, a specific hand showcased Foxen’s skill during the game. Foxen initiated the action with a raise to $800 while holding XX in the lojack position. When the action reached Arcot on the button, he raised it to $4,000 with YY. Amidst NFL-themed discussions at the table, Foxen contemplated her options before executing a four-bet to $11,000.
Arcot briefly analyzed the situation before making a quick five-bet to $28,000. Meanwhile, a round of drinks arrived at the table, creating distractions as Foxen pondered her next move. Ryan Feldman, the show’s co-owner and producer, humorously remarked on the distraction, saying, ‘Kristen’s in the tank and we’re drinking around her.’
Nonetheless, Foxen remained composed, adeptly recognizing Arcot’s final bet as a bluff. In a bold move characteristic of Luke Schwartz but with her unique flair, she pushed all-in with her stack of $104,300. Arcot took one last look at his cards before folding, and as the conversation at the table continued, Foxen quietly stacked her chips with a subtle smile on her face.
